Research Associate - Ref:1226214
The postdoctoral research post, is available at the UCL Ear Institute to investigate the neural basis of binaural hearing, the ability to detect small differences in the timing of sound at the two ears (interaural time differences, ITDs). Binaural hearing underpins the ability to localize sound sources, and is important for decoding complex spatial listening environments into separate objects – a critical factor in “cocktail-party listening”. The post will employ the magneto-encephalography (MEG) technique to examine the means by which neurons in the human auditory brain integrate information arriving from both ears.
The post is funded for one year in the first instances by the MRC. The post is on Grade 7 of the University pay scale with a salary of £31,905 - £38,594 including London Allowance pa. Benefits include 27 days annual leave plus 6 College closure days and a pension scheme.
