Postdoctoral position (Psychoacoustics and Computational
Modeling) Purdue University, Department of Speech, Language, and
Hearing Sciences A 1-2 year NIH-funded postdoctoral position is available in
the Psychoacoustics Laboratory at Purdue University. Our laboratory uses a
coordinated approach involving psychoacoustics and computational modeling to
relate perceptual and physiological aspects of normal hearing and sensorineural
hearing loss. In this project, the candidate will perform psychoacoustic
experiments and computational modeling to evaluate psychoacoustic measures of
cochlear gain and frequency selectivity and potential effects of efferent
feedback on perceptual measures. There is also the potential to include a
neurophysiological component (in collaboration with Dr. Michael Heinz).
Experience in psychoacoustics and computational modeling is desired, but strong
candidates with experience in neurophysiology or related areas will be
considered. This position will provide the candidate with extensive
opportunities for collaboration through the interdisciplinary Purdue Hearing
and Acoustics in Science and Engineering (PHASE) program (http://www.purdue.edu/research/phase/),
which includes hearing scientists from the departments of Speech Language and
Hearing Sciences, Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical
Engineering, and Biological Sciences. For informal inquiries about the position, or for
information about the formal application procedures, contact Dr. Elizabeth
Strickland (estrick@xxxxxxxxxx;
