Offer Description

The postdoctoral researcher will contribute to projects funded by the ANR IDA grant. The goal of the project is to understand individual biases in hearing in humans. The postdoctoral researcher will, in particular, work on the project to modify auditory biases in real time by altering the vocal feedback of the particippant's voice.

The postdoctoral researcher will actively participate in the design of experiments, their implementation, running the participants, analysis, and publication of the results (in articles and conferences).

The successful candidate will work on the campus of Saint Germain des Près (Université Paris Cité), in the Perception-Action research group of the INCC. The position will be under the supervision of Mark Wexler, in collaboration with the research group of Daniel Pressnitzer (LSP, ENS). He or she will be present in the laboratory (the Saint German des Près campus, Université Paris Cité) for a weekly duration of 35 hours; remote work possible under mutual agreement.
