Ph.D. position at The University of Texas at Austin
My laboratory at the University of Texas at Austin has openings for two fully funded Ph.D. positions for Fall 2024
(https://slhs.utexas.edu/research/ut-care-lab/team)
The area of work is very broad:
human hearing
and hearing loss, focusing on signal processing in the human ear. Examples (not an exhaustive list): auditory
neural systems, auditory signal processing, biomedical signals, cochlear mechanics, machine learning applications in hearing-in-noise,
etc. Opportunities for regional, national, and/or global cross-disciplinary collaborations exist for the right candidate.
Candidates with hearing sciences backgrounds can apply, and students with
biomedical or electrical engineering
backgrounds interested in signal processing, time-frequency
analysis, etc.,
are especially encouraged to apply. Candidates with an undergraduate engineering degree are
welcome to apply. Undergraduate audiology students with exceptional qualifications may be considered.
Recent sample publications to show the flavor of diverse work are listed below: Mishra SK & Moore DR (2023). Auditory deprivation during development alters efferent neural feedback and perception, Journal of Neuroscience, 43, 4642-4649. Mishra SK & Biswal M (2019).
