PhD STUDENTSHIP: measures of auditory function





The Human Communication and Deafness Group, University of Manchester, seeks
to recruit a high calibre graduate for a PhD studentship funded by the RNID.
Applicants should have a good first degree (first class or upper second
class) in a suitable subject area, and be interested in pursuing a research
career in audiology and hearing science. Applications from those with a
background in physiology, psychology, biological sciences, audiology, or
related fields would be particularly welcomed, as would applicants with a
clinical background and with evidence of research interest and potential.



The student will carry out a supervised plan of research into the
relationships between elctrophysiological and psychacoustic measures of
auditory function with human subjects; the research is likely to have both
fundamental and clinically applicable elements, and will be under the
supervision of Dr David Parker and Dr Richard Baker.



Funding is for three years fulltime. A stipend of £14,200 per annum is
attached to the studentship, with allowances for travel to conferences and
other training needs. The student will attend research-related taught
modules as part of a structured and supervised research training programme.



Application by letter to Dr Richard Baker, Human Communication and Deafness
Group, University of Manchester Manchester M13 9PL, including cv and the
names and addresses of two academic referees. Informal enquiries to

Closing date for receipt of applications: October 31st 2002. The successful
candidate will take up the studentship as soon as possible thereafter, but
at the latest by 31 March 2002. For further information about the Group see
