The project is funded by the ANR (Agence nationale = de la Recherche) and is part of collaborations with Bob Carlyon from the MR= C in Cambridge, the LNIA laboratory of Marseille and La Timone hospital. Th= e goals are (1) to better understand the underlying mechanisms of electrica= l stimulation of the auditory nerve via a combination of psychophysical and= electrophysiological experiments conducted with human CI listeners, (2) to= optimise the choice of stimulus parameters in contemporary CIs and (3) to = propose and test novel ways of coding sound information electrically to imp= rove the perception of sounds by implant users. Applications are invited from MSc with a high interest in auditory percepti= on, strong quantitative skills, and a degree in engineering, neuroscience, = physics, physiology, audiology or a related topic. The candidate will develop experimental software, will be trained to conduc= t human subject testing in an independent way, and will participate in the = dissemination of results at scientific conferences and in journal publicati= ons. The ability to work with human subjects, good English speaking and writing = skills, and previous experience in the field of auditory sciences will be e= specially considered. Some knowledge of French is required.
