[AUDITORY] Two PhD positions at UT Austin



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.
