[AUDITORY] PhD Opportunity for auditory or engineering student

[Will Sedley <willsedley@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear List,

Please spread the word amongst any capable and motivated potential PhD students, for this 4-year PhD programme in Newcastle, UK.

This is a very exciting opportunity for the appointee to work on an innovative project to quieten chronic tinnitus using a new form of sound therapy which we call Acoustic Ripple Therapy (ART). This follows a positive online randomised placebo controlled trial we conducted. The student will work with leading auditory and acoustic engineering groups on both acoustic signal processing and running EEG studies. They will work to make improvements to the methods of ART, by studying its effect on brain activity recorded with EEG. Finally, there will be the opportunity to run online trials of the optimised form of ART they come up with.

The link to the website with more information is below. However, please note that we ask all interested candidates to contact the supervisory team in advance of applying: kai.alter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx or kate.yukhnovich@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx . 

Best wishes,

Will
