I'm posting this to announce the availability of an up-to-two-year research position in audiovisual speech perception. The project that funds the position examines the ways that older and younger folks with and without hearing impairment perceive audiovisual speech produced by racially and ethnically diverse people. It incorporates insights and measures from social psychology, sociolinguistics, experimental phonetics, audiology, and speech science.
I (Ben Munson) am the PI on the grant, and the position is at University of Minnesota. Other folks on the grant include co-investigators Peggy Nelson and Andrew Oxenham, and consultants Molly Babel, Matt Winn, Evelyn Davies-Venn and Jeff Simpson.
Though the person will be housed in the Department of Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences, xe will have will have access to facilities in the university's Center for Applied And Translational Sensory Sciences.
Review of applications will begin June 26 and will continue until the job is filled. The earliest possible start date is July 15. I hope to have the research start no later than September 3, 2019.
Information and application instructions can be found at:
Yours,
Ben Munson
