Two POST-DOC positions at the Portland VA (Oregon) are listed below.
Please address all questions to Dr. Marjorie Leek
1) Postdoctoral
Research
Associate - Psychoacoustics
<>A research
position is available in the National
Center
for Rehabilitative Auditory Research (NCRAR), located at the Portland Veterans
Administration Medical
Center, in Portland, Oregon,
in support of a research program aimed at characterizing and modeling
suprathreshold distortions in auditory processing by persons with
impaired
hearing. This is a collaborative project
with Walter Reed
Army Medical
Center, and will involve close
cooperation between the Walter Reed and the Portland laboratories.
The Research Associate will assist in
carrying out the studies in the project, to include programming and
design of
experiments, collection of data, and analyzing and modeling data. In addition, the Research Associate will be
encouraged to develop new research projects involving the mechanisms
and
perceptual effects of hearing impairment, and to interact with other
speech and
hearing scientists at the NCRAR and at Walter Reed. The
NCRAR facility houses 9 sound booths, an
anechoic chamber, developmental labs and procedure rooms generously
equipped
with state-of-the-art instrumentation, as well as offices, group rooms,
and
conference room, all dedicated solely to support NCRAR auditory
research and
development activities. Salary is
dependent on experience and qualifications.
A doctoral degree in hearing science, audiology, psychology, or
a
related field is required, as well as an interest in psychoacoustics
and
hearing-impairment.
2) Postdoctoral
Research
Associate - Psychoacoustics
A
research position is available in the National
Center
for Rehabilitative Auditory Research, located at the Portland
Veterans Administration
Medical Center,
in Portland, Oregon, to study the functional
effects of
cochlear impairment. The Research Associate will assist in
psychoacoustic
(behavioral) studies funded by NIH investigating the perception of
complex
sounds by subjects with normal hearing and those with hearing loss,
with an
emphasis on listeners’ abilities to
analyze spectral and temporal patterns
such as those found in speech. In
addition, the Research Associate will be encouraged to develop new
research
projects involving the mechanisms and perceptual effects of hearing
impairment,
and to interact with other speech and hearing scientists in the NCRAR. The NCRAR facility houses 9 sound booths, an
anechoic chamber, developmental labs and procedure rooms generously
equipped
with state-of-the-art instrumentation, as well as offices, group rooms,
and
conference room, all dedicated solely to support NCRAR auditory
research and
development activities. The NCRAR’s
multidisciplinary team approach creates a unique mentoring and training
advantage. Salary is dependent on experience and qualifications. A doctoral degree in hearing science,
audiology, psychology, or a related field is required, as well as an
interest
in psychoacoustics and hearing-impairment.
