Subject: [AUDITORY] Three Doctoral Positions Available =?Windows-1252?Q?=96_?=Auditory Perception, University of Louisville From: "Zahorik,Pavel" <pavel.zahorik@xxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 20 Oct 2017 15:19:01 +0000 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY> --_000_BN6PR03MB2546B02895823C15558D3CF2DE430BN6PR03MB2546namp_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Three Doctoral Positions Available =96 Auditory Perception, University of L= ouisville Application Deadline: December 1, 2017 The Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at the University of Lou= isville invites applications to our Ph.D. program in Experimental Psycholog= y, with interests in auditory perception, broadly defined. There are three = (3) positions that include both classroom and laboratory training in audito= ry perception and experimental psychology. Both positions have four years o= f guaranteed funding, which includes full coverage of all tuition and fee c= osts, health insurance, and an annual stipend of $22,000 USD. The first position will include research studying how different types of co= ntext influence speech perception. Foci of the project include studying how= changing versus predictable acoustic properties of surrounding sounds affe= ct discrimination, categorization, and recognition of speech and nonspeech = sounds in normal and impaired hearing. Linking natural signal statistics to= auditory perception is also of interest. Additional information is availab= le at www.louisville.edu/psychology/stilp<http://www.louisville.edu/psychol= ogy/stilp> and www.louisville.edu/psychology/stilp/lab<http://www.louisvill= e.edu/psychology/stilp/lab>. The second position will include research studying the effects of acoustic = reflections and reverberation on human sound localization and speech commun= ication. This project seeks to broadly understand the perceptual processes = that facilitate listening performance in reflective environments and the po= tential impact of hearing loss on these processes. Effects of multisensory = (particularly visual) input on human sound localization are also of interes= t. Specific training in virtual auditory space simulation technologies will= accompany this position. Additional information is available at www.louisv= ille.edu/psychology/zahorik<http://www.louisville.edu/psychology/zahorik> a= ndwww.louisville.edu/psychology/zahorik/lab<http://www.louisville.edu/psych= ology/zahorik/lab>. The third position will include research studying the effect of hearing los= s in pediatric populations on the characteristics of vocal interaction betw= een caregiver and her child. The project will determine how infant hearing = loss affects acoustic and/or statistical properties of mother-infant commun= ication using quantitative experimental methods within the framework of lin= guistic and psychological theory. Examining the coordination of caregiver-c= hild interaction between multiple modalities, such as vocal and tactile com= munication, is also of interest. Additional information is available at htt= p://louisville.edu/psychology/kondaurova and http://louisville.edu/psycholo= gy/kondaurova/lab-home. Research and training activities take place at both the University of Louis= ville, Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences (www.louisville.edu/p= sychology<http://www.louisville.edu/psychology>) and the Heuser Hearing Res= earch Center (www.thehearinginstitute.org<http://thehearinginstitute.org/>)= . Together, these environments offer outstanding research facilities, as w= ell as a broad and active research community in human perception and perfor= mance. Preference will be given to candidates with demonstrated excellence in acad= emic performance and good quantitative/programming skills. Previous experie= nce in the hearing sciences, perceptual psychology, or related field is des= irable, but not mandatory.
