Deadline for applications is= the 16th of June. The group for auditory research at Link=F6ping University offer a position = as a PhD student in Direct cochlear stimulation for implantable hearing tec= hnology. The position is divided between the labs of Anders Fridberger and = Stefan Stenfelt. Applicants are encouraged to read the full posting at (PhD student in Medic= al science) http://www.liu.se/jobba/lediga-jobb?l=3Den&sc=3Dtrue Problems with hearing are considered the 3rd largest chronic disease in the= world. Due to the ageing population in the world and high communication de= mands, problems related to loss of hearing function are increasing. Most hearing aids amplify the incoming sound and present the amplified soun= d via a receiver in the ear canal. However, recently developed hearing aids= provide the output as a vibration at the middle ear ossicles, to the skull= bone, or more directly to the cochlea. The aim of the PhD program is to de= termine the effectiveness of different types of cochlear stimulation. This = is done in animal models as well as human temporal bone specimens by means = of vibration measurement using LASER vibrometry and pressure measurements. = The outcome of the research is improved hearing aid technology and conseque= ntly improved rehabilitation and benefit for persons with hearing loss. The research groups works in several areas in audiology and hearing science= , e.g. hearing physiology, diagnosis of hearing loss, rehabilitation and in= tervention, hearing aids and cochlear implants, and digital signal processi= ng. The research is multidisciplinary and the group comprises competences w= ithin biomedical engineering, medicine, behavior and pedagogical sciences. = Technical Audiology is part of the Linnaeus Centre HEAD where cognitive hea= ring science is the main focus.
