**INFORMATION ABOUT THE POSITION**
- **Position**:Postdoctoral researcher
- **Researcher Profile**: Recognised Researcher (R2 - PhD holders or equivalent who are not yet fully independent)
- **Number of vacancies**:1
- **Project**: CORTICAL RHYTHMS: Aligning Brain Rhythms: Understanding the mechanisms of cortical tracking of speech to improve language functions with real time closed-loop neurofeedback
- **Location**: Spain > San Sebastian

**Information about the project**:
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. Specifically, we will model the temporal alignment between fluctuations in the speech signal and fluctuations in brain activity across different populations (bilinguals and second language learners) to investigate the predictive ability and causality of CTS (Cortical Tracking of Speech)

**Job description**:

- Designing and conducting behavioural and MEG experimental research
- Designing and implementing computational models of language
- Writing research papers in collaboration with the PIs, aiming to publish at top-tier journals
- Dissemination of results at international scientific conferences
- Assisting in the supervision of graduate students
