Welcome to the Music and Neuroscience Lab! The lab is run by Dr. Grahn, a cognitive neuroscientist who studies music. Dr. Grahn is an Associate Professor in the Brain and Mind Institute and the Department of Psychology at Western University, in London, Ontario.
Before that, she was at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit in Cambridge, England, and an Associate Lecturer in Biological Psychology with the Open University. (And a little tip: Grahn rhymes with "on", not "an"). We currently have a postdoctoral position open! |

Research OpportunitiesIf you are interested in research opportunities in the Music and Neuroscience lab, please get in touch. Students may want to read about important traits I look for in both undergrads and grads. Undergraduate students should send Dr. Grahn a CV, transcript, writing sample, as well as a short description of why they are interested in this area of research and the time commitment they are able to make. Graduate Students may want to look at the BrainsCAN Graduate Studentship Program open to Master's and PhD students (including international graduate students). All grads may be interested in the Collaborative Specialization in Music Cognition. Post-docs. We currently have a postdoctoral position open. Postdocs may want to look at the Banting Fellowships, Marie Curie fellowships (Europeans), CIHR Fellowships, NSERC Fellowships, or other lists of fellowships. This list, too. The BMI has its own fellowship competition twice per year. In addition, graduate students and post-docs can check out the BrainsCAN Computational Postdoctoral and Graduate Studentship Stream or the Music Cognition Specialization International students interested in doing a placement in the lab should send similar materials as undergraduate students (as above), and should look at Western's procedures. |
