[AUDITORY] Ph.D position in Marseille and Cambridge: Improving Pitch Perception by Cochlear Implant Listeners

[Olivier Macherey <macherey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear List,

We’re pleased to invite applications for a Ph.D. programme of research based in Olivier Macherey’s laboratory at the Université Aix- Marseille in collaboration with Bob Carlyon’s group at the University of Cambridge. The project involves a number of behavioural experiments using direct-stimulation methods that bypass the patient’s clinical processor and that probe the limitations on pitch processing by cochlear-implant (CI) users. It will be carried out as part of the Societes, Climate, Health, and Artificial Intelligence Doctoral programme of Université Aix-Marseille and will involve extended periods of research in both Marseille and Cambridge. Candidates should hold a good undergraduate degree in an auditory or numerate discipline and should ideally hold a Masters degree. Further details on the project are available here  and interested candidates are encouraged to contact Olivier Macherey or Bob Carlyon for more information. The closing date for applications is 21^st April 2025.

Best wishes,

Olivier
