Dear Auditory List,
Applications are invited for an MRC-funded PhD project working with Dr Karolina Kluk, Dr Agnes Leger and Prof Kevin Munro at the University of Manchester. The project aims are:
- To investigate the relationship between oestrogen, hearing loss and tinnitus throughout the lifespan.
- To determine the effect of oestrogen on tinnitus throughout the menstrual cycle.
This 3.5-year full-time MRC DTP studentship provides full support for tuition fees, annual tax-free stipend at Research Council UK rates (currently £14, 057) and conference/travel allowance. The project is due to commence October 2016 and is open to UK/EU
nationals only due to the nature of the funding.
The full project description and further information can be found here:
