Post-Doctoral Position in Cochlear Implant Research Available Interested in working as a researcher in the field of cochlear implants? There is a post-doctoral position available in the Landsberger lab in the Department of Otolaryngology at the New York University School
of Medicine in New York City. We are searching for a post-doctoral researcher who will conduct research in the field of cochlear implants in collaboration with the PI as well as all other members of the lab. A Ph.D. in a field related to auditory
research, such as Biomedical Engineering, Neuroscience, Psychology, or Audiology is required.
Applicants with understanding of cochlear implants, psychophysics, and software programming are highly encouraged to apply.
The candidate will be encouraged to seek their own funding and develop an independent career. About the lab: In the lab, we study basic properties of electrical stimulation with goals of both improving performance with a cochlear implant as well as developing a better understanding of the auditory
system. The research in the laboratory involves studying the interface between the electrode and the corresponding stimulated neurons with cochlear implants.
Primary topics of interest involve reshaping electric fields in the cochlea, understanding the relationship between rate and place coding throughout the cochlea, and working with patients who have both acoustic and electric hearing. The research methodology
is primarily psychophysical; however, both objective measures and performance with experimental speech processors are measured in the lab. Culturally, the lab is interactive. In addition to working closely with our research subjects and other members of the lab, we work heavily with external groups. We have a number of active domestic and international
academic collaborations as well as a strong relationship with industry. We expect the new post-doc to participate in the work with the external groups.
