Postdoc position - University of Colorado ("Tollin, Daniel" )

Subject: Postdoc position - University of Colorado From: "Tollin, Daniel" <Daniel.Tollin@xxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 23 Jun 2016 16:32:49 +0000 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY> --_000_CO2PR05MB2662118EB0C1ABB956C37392812D0CO2PR05MB2662namp_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi, I have an open postdoc position available immediately. Please circulate th= e letter below to those that you think might be interested. ------------- The overarching objective of this Department of Defense funded position is = to conduct studies to improve and extend the biomechanical understanding of= auditory and vestibular injury from acoustic blast and noise. Additionally= the effort will promote the development of new technologies to prevent and= mitigate blast and noise injury to the auditory system by enhancing techni= ques for the development and assessment of hearing protective systems. Spec= ific objectives of the proposed effort include: 1) Develop a neuro-function= al understanding of auditory injury encompassing the dynamics of the periph= eral auditory system, through sensory transduction, to central auditory pro= cessing; 2) Enhance existing auditory hazard models using physiological and= behavioral metrics from human and animal surrogates; 3) Develop an animal = model, correlating human and animal auditory mechanisms and physiological r= esponses to noise and blast events; 4) Develop a robust, validated system f= or the evaluation of hearing protective systems across the broad range of i= ntensities and frequency spectra seen in real-world exposures. The position requires the skills and competencies to conduct acoustical, me= chanical (laser Doppler vibrometry, fiber optic pressure measurements, etc.= ), physiological and anatomical experiments in both animal and human cadave= ric specimens. The position requires occasional work on weekends and after= normal business hours. The position also requires work with industry part= ners. Finally, an important aspect of this work is the development of comp= utational models of the studied phenomena, thus skills in computation are e= ssential. Applicants must have a PhD in Neuroscience, Biology, Engineering or related= field, an interest in the mechanics and physiology underlying the auditory= and vestibular systems, and extensive programming (MATLAB/Python) and stat= istical analysis experience. Experience with middle and inner ear mechanic= s in human or animal models is also preferred, but not necessary. Salary m= ay exceed NIH pay-scales for the right applicant who can start immediately.
