The Auditory Perception and Neuroscience Lab at the Department of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences at the University of Connecticut is looking for a highly motivated PhD student to join the lab from Fall 2025. Using an interdisciplinary approach, the lab is currently focused on investigating the (1) factors that promote/hinder auditory processing across the lifespan; (2) physiological and electrophysiological aspects related to sound processing in the auditory nervous system; and (3) development of tools for efficient testing and intervention of auditory processing disorders/listening difficulties. More information about our work can be obtained at https://auditoryperceptionlab.speech-language-hearing.uconn.edu/about/
Applications will be considered from prospective students with background in Audiology, Speech Language Pathology, Linguistics, Psychology, and related disciplines who are interested in studying auditory processing from an interdisciplinary perspective. The prospective PhD student should be willing to learn new techniques for data collection and analyses. Experience with EEG/AEP, and coding using matlab/python is desirable.
The lab is located at the UConn Storrs campus that offers a serene environment away from the busy city life but also not too far in distance from New York City.

Prospective students should reach out directly to Dr. Akshay Maggu (Director, Auditory Perception and Neuroscience Lab) at akshay.maggu@xxxxxxxxx with their CV and writing sample(s) (e.g., publications, presentations, thesis, etc.) to further discuss their research interests.
