Dear Auditory Colleagues,
We are writing to invite students and postdocs interested in our C-CEBH (Center for Comparative and Evolutionary Biology of Hearing) T32 training program at the University of Maryland. Please visit the web site at https://ccebh.umd.edu/ for details.
C-CEBH is founded on the principle that gained from studying different species can often help in understanding human hearing, in finding new cures for chronic human hearing problems, and in designing robotic hearing devices. The goal of the program is to provide a broadly interdisciplinary training and opportunities to the study of hearing, acoustic communication and auditory neuroscience. C-CEBH faculty study all aspects of hearing and related sensory processes to refine our knowledge of the structure, function and evolution of the auditory system utilizing state-of-the-art approaches including biophysics, brain imaging, molecular biology, computational modeling, audiology, and neurochemistry.
C-CEBH is also the home of an NIDCD-funded NRSA T32 training grant that is now in its 28th year (2023-2024). This T32 supports training of both doctoral and postdoctoral fellows. Degrees are offered through any of the departments of participating faculty or through the Neuroscience and Cognitive Science (NACS) doctoral program in the labs of their C-CEBH mentors. Postdoctoral trainees are expected to sit in on the C-CEBH course in hearing and the course in evolution if they have not already had the equivalent, and to work between laboratories to help enhance the collaborative efforts of the Center. Women and underrepresented minorities are encouraged to apply. The application deadline for predoctoral trainees is March 15, 2025, and for postdoctoral trainees is Feb 15, 2025.
Please help us spread the word by forwarding this email to potential students interested in applying to graduate programs.
Regards,
Matthew Goupell
