Position Description:
The School of Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD) and the Communication Technologies Research Center (CTRC) are pleased to invite applications for a 12-month, non-tenure-earning, in-person, Clinical/Research Audiologist position
to begin on or after April 2024. The ideal candidate will have experience in comprehensive audiological diagnostics and demonstrated knowledge and expertise in hearing device technology and management in adult populations. They will provide direct services
to participants while engaging in the conduct of clinical and basic research specifically in the areas of hearing device and related technology, auditory perception, aural rehabilitation, and electrophysiological evaluation. In addition, they will have the
opportunity to supervise student research assistants and to provide audiological clinical services in the UCF Communication Disorders clinic. The successful candidate will join a diverse CTRC faculty and staff in a dynamic university with high research activity
(RU/H), a robust clinical program with established patient populations, and an environment that fosters collaboration, innovation, and professional development.
Responsibilities will include:
• Comprehensive audiological assessment of research participants with a focus on the adult and geriatric populations
• Hearing device evaluation, fitting, verification, and follow-up
• Counseling of patients in clinical trials for new device technologies, feature evaluations, and cognitive communicative function
• Opportunities to participate in tinnitus and hyperacusis evaluations and clinical trials
• Opportunities to participate in simulation technologies including virtual and augmented reality systems for evaluation, measurement, and clinical use
• Ability to follow detailed research protocols including auditory perceptual measures, speech perception, physiological measures of otoacoustic emissions, audiological evoked responses, electroencephalography (EEG), and functional near-infrared
spectroscopy (fNIRS), with training provided as needed.
• Assist in development of new research protocols and proposals
• Proficiency with audiology-specific software and data management software
• Opportunity to participate in research conferences and research presentations
About Us
The Communication Technologies Research Center (CTRC) is a new center in the School of Communication Sciences and Disorders focused on basic and applied research to solve communication problems through the combination of behavioral sciences,
electrophysiology, assistive technology, and computational methods. Current projects are funded by NIH NIDCD and industry partners. We are seeking individuals who are passionate about auditory research to collaborate with our founding investigators (Dr. David
Eddins, Dr, Ann Eddins) and a new team of faculty, scientists, post-docs, and students joining in the coming months. We are creating a vibrant, multi-disciplinary
environment that includes experts in audiology, hearing science, neuroscience, electrical and biomedical engineering, speech science, voice science, and aerodigestive systems. Applicants should have enthusiasm for research, a mind for
innovation and creativity, a desire to work in a thriving team atmosphere, and capacity for acquiring expertise in new research techniques.
