Announcement The Department of Communication
Sciences and Disorders at Northwestern University is pleased to announce the
availability of PhD and postdoctoral fellow positions, funded by an NIH
translational research training grant. The goal of the grant is to train
young scientists in translational research in communication sciences and
disorders, bridging basic and clinical research. Special emphasis is
placed on translational projects related to sensory reception, motor control,
and language processing. Postdoctoral candidates must hold a PhD in
Communication Sciences and Disorders, Cognitive Science, Linguistics,
Neuroscience, or a related field. Traineeships are
limited by federal regulations to U.S. citizens or noncitizen nationals or
individuals who have been lawfully admitted for permanent residence at the time
of the appointment. Individuals with translational interests who do not
meet citizenship requirements for predoctoral traineeships can apply for
admission to doctoral study to be considered for other funding.
Individuals who are pursuing or have completed AuD degrees and have
translational research interests are encouraged to apply for the AuD/PhD
program. Trainees will receive funding for two years on
this project. Additional funding is available for funding beyond the two
years of this project. Interested candidates should send the following to
