Professor Ione Fine (Psychology) and Assistant Professor Matthew Winn (Speech & Hearing Sciences) at the University of Washington, Seattle are seeking postdoctoral students for investigations of auditory perception in people who are blind. There is no specific start date, so students in the later stages of their PhD are welcome to apply.
We will consider students with a wide range of interests but are particularly interested in individuals who want to use computational neuroimaging and psychophysical techniques to examine auditory processing in blind individuals, who have an appropriate background.
Applicants should have (or be on their way to) a Ph.D. in a related area such as neuroscience, psychoacoustics, audiology, hearing science, audio engineering, signal processing, or another closely related discipline. Special consideration will be given to those who have programming skills and who are experienced in interacting with people with a wide range of sensory abilities.
Both the Fine and Winn laboratories are located in Seattle WA. Students will receive
strong mentorship in vision and auditory science and extensive training in
neuroimaging, computational neuroscience, binaural hearing and translational
work on the neural effects of vision loss.
