The primary roles of the full-time Research Audiologist will be to partner with the Principal Investigators for oversight of the process of structured protocol development, participant recruitment, scheduling, and testing; training of research
assistants; collection, scoring, and management of participant data (including maintenance of RedCap database); writing of abstracts and manuscripts related to these projects; support with writing grant proposals.
The ideal candidate will be team-oriented, highly collaborative, and display a strong enthusiasm for cochlear implant research. Ideally (but not required) the applicant will have experience with cochlear implants and behavioral testing
of human participants, and prior experience using RedCap. Preferred (but not required) background in Hearing and Speech Sciences, Audiology, Psychology, Linguistics, or related fields. Ideally the applicant should have an AuD, PhD, or combined AuD/PhD degrees.
