Position for a postdoctoral researcher at the Université libre de Bruxelles, Brussels, Belgium

Adélaïde de Heering (lullaby, CRCN) is hiring a postdoc for 1.5 years to investigate infants’ active exploration mechanisms and the development of curiosity. They will recruit, test, interpret, and write about infants’ data collected from behavioural and EEG measurements. 

Applicants (will soon) hold a PhD in Psychology, Neuroscience, Cognitive Sciences, or related. They have lived and worked outside of Belgium for more than 12 of the 36 months immediately preceding the start of the contract, and defended their PhD thesis since max. 8 years. They show an excellent academic track record, interest to supervise master students, and speak English and French. Experience in infant testing (0-3 years) using behavioral and/or physiological measures, and programming (e.g., Python, Matlab), is appreciated. Net salary in line with Belgian legislation, including social and medical benefits.

Send your CV, application letter (in English), contact information of two referees, and your published scientific paper(s) to Adélaïde de Heering. Application deadline: until filled

Speech processing and reading are essential unique human abilities underpinning social, educational, and professional advancement. However early biomarkers of speech processing deficits that have been documented in reading disabilities such as Developmental Dyslexia (DD) have yet to be identified. Here, we will explore whether the cortical tracking of speech (CTS) - the temporal alignment between fluctuations in the speech signal and fluctuations in electrical brain activity – can predict later reading deficits in DD.

Speech processing and reading are essential unique human abilities underpinning social, educational, and professional advancement. However, biologically constrained models of spoken and visual word recognition are still lacking, particularly in the domains of bilingualism. Here, we will investigate the neurobiological underpinnings of speech and reading in bilinguals and second language learners using data collected with advanced neuroimaging tools in our lab.
