Hi all,
Posting on behalf of my colleague Shawn Stevens MD, of Barrow Neurological Institute, who is recruiting for a AuD/PhD faculty member in audiology / hearing sciences. Please reach out to him if interested. His email is <shawn.stevens@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
- Barrow ENT in Phoenix is a 3 yr old department with soon to be 5 faculty and 4 full time CI audiologists. Encompasses all subspecialty disciplines except peds, sleep, allergy. I am a Neurotologist/Otologist there currently .8 clinical .2 research who is director
of both the implantables and skull base programs. Our center is a quasi-academic institute, founded originally for neuroscience focus but expanding rapidly to other disciplines. There is a robust research admin division which currently oversees ~700 clinical
trials.
- My Hearing Health Science Program has been very active in fundraising and philanthropy circles. We have raised 500k to build and implement an anechoic chamber (350k for hard infrastructure, 150k for computing, software, apparatus). We are near signing the final
purchase order and will likely complete construction in later 2024. Also likely have up to 1M that will go into an endowed chair controlled by me. Goal for this is to start a lab with an AuD PhD, for which these funds would go toward salary support, pilot
funds, lab personnel, additional tech/infrastructure.
- We can use help getting the word out to the AuD PhD community that the opportunity exists. supported by a very robust clinical practice (will be up to performing 150 CI/year in next 2-3; 50-60 active transcut BCDs per year, heavy AN/skull base practice).
Can tailor the design of the chamber and lab to accommodate research interests.
- The AuD/PhD position would likely be 0.9 research and 0.1 clinical/education. We are interested in having this serve a joint appointment with ASU.
- The AuD/PhD position does not necessarily need to be a seasoned/experienced individual. Can look at new or relatively recent graduates with open minds to research, and capacity to obtain funding for themselves in the future with early department support (within
3 years based on our most recent strategic meeting).
- Barrow Neurological Institute offers numerous opportunities for advanced cross-disciplinary collaborative efforts, including cross over to neuroimaging and various aspects of neuroscience. If functional neuro is of interest, would be relatively very easy
here.
