Dear list, I’m pleased to announce the availability of a postdoc position in my lab. A copy of the ad is pasted below. For further particulars please visit
http://www.jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/16501/
Cheers Bob A position is available for a postdoctoral scientist to work on a project entitled "A multi-disciplinary approach to understanding and improving hearing by cochlear implant users", led by Dr R. Carlyon, Prof J. Middlebrooks, and Dr. J. Wouters. The position
is funded by a Collaborative Award in Science from the Wellcome Trust and will be based at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, University of Cambridge.
The project involves a combination of direct-stimulation psychophysical measurements, electrophysiological recordings, and computational analysis of results. Computer programming skills are essential. The job will involve programming in Matlab, calibrating
cochlear-implant (CI) stimuli, and performing direct stimulation experiments with CIs. Experience in these roles is therefore desirable. The post-holder will have a degree (or equivalent) in a numerate or auditory discipline, and will hold or be about to obtain
a Ph.D. (or equivalent) in a relevant field. The role involves liaising with clinical staff at Addenbrooke's hospital and with patients, and so the post-holder will need good interpersonal skills. The role also involves collaborating with the teams led by
Prof. Middlebrooks (Univ. California, U.S.A.) and Prof. Wouters (Univ. Leuven, Belgium); this will include regular meetings and short exchange visits to California and Leuven. There is plenty of scope for the post-holder to contribute their own ideas and development.
Informal enquiries can be made to Dr. Carlyon (bob.carlyon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx). Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 5 years in the first instance. |
