Dear list,
We are seeking to appoint two posts, an Early Stage Researcher (PhD student; 36 months) and an Experienced Researcher (Research Associate; 17 months),
to conduct research projects examining auditory processing and training
in children with mild-moderate hearing impairment. The posts will
ideally commence June or July 2014, and no later than October 2014.
The post-holders will be members of the FP7-Marie Curie Initial Training Network, improving Children’s Auditory REhabilitation (iCARE),
which comprises 10 European research institutes and 7 associated
partners. The objectives of iCARE are (1) to provide training to create a
new generation of researchers capable of exploiting the synergies
between different disciplines to optimize spoken communication in
children with hearing impairment, and (2) to combine research across
disciplines to develop novel methods, training skills and procedures for
improving auditory rehabilitation. The projects will be based at UCL, but the post-holders will also be required to undertake some work and travel in other countries within the iCARE network.
For more information please see the attached flyers.

In
crowded situations, normal-hearing listeners take advantage of the fact
that different speakers can be discriminated by their voice in order to
selectively listen to a specific talker. Current cochlear implants do
not allow users to appropriately hear voice differences, which partially
explains the difficulties in speech comprehension they experience in
crowded environments. The purpose of the project is to study and develop
methods to optimize, at the individual level, the transmission of voice
and speech information through the implant.
The
research in our group is motivated towards identifying problems that
hearing-impaired listeners encounter in daily life, with the ultimate
goal of proposing solutions to these problems (see http://www.dbaskent.org).
Our approach is multidisciplinary, and involves behavioral and
cognitive sciences, as well as engineering. We work closely with
patients, the medical staff of the Cochlear Implants North Netherlands (http://www.ci.umcg.nl), manufacturers of hearing devices, and local and international collaborators.
The
project is jointly funded by the University of Groningen and Advanced
Bionics and will be a close collaboration between these two
institutions. The University of Groningen is ranked amongst the top 100
universities in the world.
Candidates
must have a Master degree in biomedical engineering, physics, signal
processing, audiology, psychology, neuroscience or a related field.
Programming experience, especially with Matlab, is expected. Interest in
working in an international environment and interacting with patients
are recommended. Proficiency or willingness to learn Dutch is
preferable.
The advertised position is for 4 years, starting on 1st June 2014 or as soon as possible thereafter, before 1st September 2014.
The
UMCG is committed to offer equal opportunities. Applicants with
disabilities will be preferentially considered in case of equal
qualifications.
Use the online application form: http://bit.ly/1fGN4U0.
You will be asked to join a copy of your CV including the names and
contact information of two references (one of them preferably your
advisor from Master’s or another research project) and a short
motivation letter. Applications must be sent before the 15/04/2014, i.e.
at the latest the 14/04/2014. Interviews will be held on the 25/04/2014.

We have a funded PhD opportunity in collaboration with the Institute of Hearing Research (Scottish Section).
Project title: Simulation of the effects of Sensorineural Hearing Loss

Further details can be found at the following page (see digital health section):http://www.gcu.ac.uk/research/phdresearchopportunities/
We are looking for someone with an understanding of the perception of music and singing as this is where we intend to target simulations.
Closing date for applications is Monday 14 April 2014 so the deadline is quite tight! The intended start date is October 2014.
