and Brain Sciences Unit, University of Cambridge. The project involves a combination of direct-stimulation psychophysical measurements, electrophysiological recordings, and computational methods.

with cochlear implants are desirable. The post-holder will have a degree in a numerate, psychology, or auditory discipline and will hold or be about to obtain a PhD in a relevant field. They will have the expertise to calibrate stimuli, preferably for cochlear
implant experiments, or alternatively have a background in machine learning. The role involves liaising both with other staff in the teams led by Dr Carlyon and Prof. Bance, as well as with staff at Addenbrookes hospital and with patients, and so the post-holder
will need excellent interpersonal skills. There is plenty of scope for the post-holder to contribute their own methodological ideas and development, including final analyses relating to the main theoretical questions of the project.
