FULL TIME
October 30, 2024
The Danish National Research Foundation’s Center for Music in the Brain is an interdisciplinary research center at Aarhus University and the Royal Academy of Music, Aarhus/Aalborg, Denmark (RAMA) aiming to address the dual questions of how music is processed in the brain and how this can inform our understanding of fundamental principles behind brain functioning in general. With a strong foundation in music practice and theory at the highest level and a focus on the clinical application of music, MIB combines neuroscientific, musicological and psychological research in music perception, action, emotion and learning with the potential to test prominent theories of brain function and to influence the way we play, teach, use and listen to music. The Department of Clinical Medicine
As a professor or an associate professor at the Department of Clinical Medicine you will be part of what is probably the largest health science research department in Denmark. We have approx. 30,000 square meters of modern research facilities for experimental surgery and medicine, animal facilities and also advanced scanners at our disposal. At the department we are approx. 425 academic employees and the same number of Ph D students cooperating across disciplines. Your job responsibilities

You have independent research-related qualifications at a high international level. You are a clear communicator and you have some degree of experience of supervision at Bachelor’s and Master's degree level. We expect you to have experience with neuroimaging acquisition (EEG, MEG, MRI) and analysis (ERPs, frequency analyses, sensorimotor synchronization) as well as expertise in advanced statistical analysis of neuroimaging data modalities. Experience with computer programming (e.g. Matlab, R), behavioural testing, and non-human animal models, will be a plus.
You have a strong interest and knowledge in music. You have good interpersonal skills, are friendly, helpful, and able to contribute to a good work environment.
