The Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at the University of Louisville invites applicants to our Ph.D. program in experimental psychology, with interests in auditory perception, broadly defined. This is a fully-funded 4-year position (starting August 2010) that would involve both classroom and laboratory training in auditory perception and experimental psychology. Research will be conducted in relation to an NIH- funded project which studies the effects of acoustic reflections on human sound localization and speech communication. Foci of the project include study of adaptive perceptual processes that facilitate listening performance in reflective environments and the potential impact of hearing loss on these processes. Specific training in virtual auditory space simulation technologies will also be available, as these technologies are used extensively throughout the project. Additional information about the project and the research laboratory is available at www.louisville.edu/psychology/zahorik. Research and training activities take place at both the Heuser Hearing Research Center (www.thehearinginstitute.org) and at the University of Louisville, Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences (www.louisville.edu/psychology). Together, these environments offer outstanding research facilities, including a new anechoic chamber facility due to be completed this Fall, as well as a broad and active research community in human perception and performance. Preference will be given to candidates with demonstrated excellence in academic performance and good quantitative/programming skills. Previous experience in the hearing sciences, perceptual psychology, or related field is desirable, but not mandatory.
