Two fully-funded Ph.D. positions My laboratory at The University of Texas at Austin has openings for two fully-funded Ph.D. positions for Fall 2023 or earlier (subject to graduate admissions). The area of work is very broad:
auditory signal processing, auditory development, cochlear mechanics, extended high frequency hearing, efferent auditory system, pediatric audiology, peripheral auditory mechanics, etc. Vast opportunities for local, regional, national, and/or global cross-disciplinary
collaborations exist for the right candidate. Candidates with backgrounds in signal processing and electrical engineering are especially encouraged to apply. Candidates with an
undergraduate engineering degree are welcome to apply. Recent sample publications to show the flavor of diverse work are listed below: Mishra SK, Saxena U & Rodrigo H (2022).
