Subject: Post-doctoral position - primate vocalization - Marseille
Postdoctoral position in language and animal communication
Dear colleagues,
Please find below an announcement for a post-doc position
With my best regards, J. Fagot
------------------------
Brain and Language Research Institute, Aix-Marseille University, France
with Arnaud Rey, Thierry Legou and Joël Fagot
Starting date: October 2012 or later
A postdoctoral position is available at the Brain and Language Research Institute (BLRI, a
"Labex", Laboratoire d'Excellence, created in 2012 under the auspices of the "Investissement
d'Avenir" French government programme : http://blri.weebly.com/). This multi-disciplinary
research structure is hosted by Aix-Marseille University, France.
The postdoc will work on a research project involving experts in human language processing
(Arnaud Rey), acoustic signal processing (Thierry Legou) and animal cognition (Joël Fagot).
The long-term objective of this research project is assess the primate origins of human
language, as it pertains to the production and control of vocalizations. This task will be
implemented in the Primate Cognition and Behavior Platform in Rousset (France) to take
advantage of the automatization of the test procedure and the very large number of data that
can be collected in this laboratory.
The postdoc will take part in developing new methods for recording and processing the
vocalizations of baboons produced in their social context. The main goal will be to collect a
new ethogram and build a new large-scale database on baboon’s vocalizations in order 1) to
characterize their vocal repertoire, 2) determine the acoustic features of baboon vocalizations
(e.g., time and frequency domains) and 3) to test the descriptive adequacy of existing
categorizations.
The candidate should preferably have a background in ethology/primatology, animal
(preferably vocal) communication.
Mastering the French (and baboon) language is not necessary (but English is). h. The position
is for one year.
The candidate should first contact Arnaud Rey (arnaud.rey(a)univ-amu.fr), Thierry Legou
(thierry.legou(a)univ-amu.fr) or Joël Fagot (joel.fagot(a)univ-amu.fr). Second, applications
should be sent by email to philippe.blache(a)blri.fr and should include a CV, a brief statement
of research interests, the expected date of availability and the names of 3 references.
Applications should be sent before September 5th, 2012.
. Position: 1 year

. Deadline: September 3rd
. Starting date: not later than November 2012
Application should be sent tophilippe.blache(a)blri.fr with copy tonadera.bureau(a)blri.fr.

On Wednesday 9th May, Alasdair Gillies and colleagues from the Blair Drummond Safari Park will come to our BERG meeting to discuss the undergraduate dissertation research projects.
Phyllis Lee, Christine Caldwell, Sarah Vick and Jim Anderson have selected projects to supervise on elephants, marmosets, otters, giraffe, chimpanzee and zebras.
We hope one or two of our final year dissertations students might also come so you can ask about their experience of working at the Park.
This session is for information only - by coming there is no commitment. Drinks and nibbles available. Come for as long as you can (i.e. it is informal so leave when you like).
5.30 pm in the Psychology Common Room (3A94, Cottrell Building).
May I remind you that our final BERG seminar for the spring semester is on Wednesday 16th May. Dr Alex Weiss from Edinburgh University will talk about:
Does personality predict all-cause mortality in captive gorillas?
Hope to see you there.....
