We are excited to be looking for a
postdoctoral fellow to work with Drs Julie Arenberg and Alicia Quesnel. Dr. Arenberg is a neuroscientist/audiologist and the Director of Research and Education for Audiology at MEE and an Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School.
Dr. Quesnel is a cochlear implant surgeon/neurotologist and the Director of the Mass Eye and Ear Otopathology Lab and an Assistant Professor at Harvard Medical School.
We study human histopathology underlying the variability in speech perception outcomes in temporal bones that have been procured and processed from
patients who had cochlear implants placed during life. We employ 3D reconstructions, apply machine learning algorithms, and use immunohistochemical and microscopy techniques to analyze the integrity and distribution of spiral ganglion neurons. We are developing
a computation model of the electrode-neuron interface that will incorporate the histopathological data from the temporal bones and clinical and experimental data from living cochlear implant users, to ultimately apply this knowledge to improve cochlear implant
programming approaches. The fellow will be involved in all aspects of the study and
will be involved in data analyses and presenting and writing manuscripts.
We are seeking highly motivated candidates who recently graduated with an PhD in biology, hearing science, audiology, neuroscience, computational biology,
biomedical engineering, pathology, or another related field. The candidate should have strong communication skills, some programming experience, and the ability to work in a team. The fellow will have an appointment at Massachusetts Eye and Ear (MEE) and
Harvard Medical School (HMS). MEE and HMS provide rich intellectual and scientific environments and the necessary infrastructure to carry out the proposed research. Training and career development are a priority.
Interested applicants should email their CV, names of 3 references and cover letter to
Julie_Arenberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx or
Alicia_Quesnel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
