Job Description

Yale Cohen (U. Penn; https://auditoryresearchlaboratory.weebly.com/) and Jennifer Groh (Duke U.; www.duke.edu/~jmgroh) seeks a full-time post-doctoral scholar. Our labs study visual, auditory, and multisensory processing in the brain using neurophysiological and computational techniques. We have a newly funded NIH grant to study the contribution of corticofugal connectivity in non-human primate models of auditory perception. The work will take place at the Penn site.

This will be a full-time, 12-month renewable appointment. Salary will be commensurate with experience and consistent with NIH NRSA stipends. To apply, send your CV along with contact information for 2 referees to: compneuro@sas.upenn.edu. For questions, please contact Yale Cohen (ycohen@pennmedicine.upenn.edu). Applications will be considered on a rolling basis, and we anticipate a summer 2022 start date.
