[AUDITORY] Postdoctoral Position: Real-time Speech Processing in listeners with hearing impairment ("McMurray, Bob" )

Subject: [AUDITORY] Postdoctoral Position: Real-time Speech Processing in listeners with hearing impairment From: "McMurray, Bob" <bob-mcmurray@xxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 26 Mar 2018 19:34:53 +0000 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY> --_000_DM5PR0401MB3528BF840012BF003EA0A1E489AD0DM5PR0401MB3528_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Dear Auditory Colleagues: Applications are invited for a full-time Postdoctoral Research Scholar to w= ork in the world class research environment of the Cochlear Implant Researc= h Center at the University of Iowa. The Postdoctoral Scholar will contribut= e to projects that examine real time language processing and how it changes= longitudinally after hearing interventions (with both Cochlear Implants an= d Hearing Aids). The goal is to understand how listeners with hearing impa= irment may adapt mechanisms of language processing from cognitive science t= o the unique challenges they face. This position is part of a larger NIDCD funded P50 project that examines th= e role of peripheral processing, cortical (re)organization, and higher-orde= r language processing on audiological and real-world outcomes of individual= s with hearing impairment. The successful candidate will work in a highly i= nterdisciplinary and collaborative team to spearhead research on the real-t= ime dynamics of language processing and how this changes with experience wi= th a hearing device. Research will be conducted primarily with eye-trackin= g in the visual world paradigm, but with opportunities for close collaborat= ion with labs using source localized EEG, real-world listening measures, an= d measures of the auditory periphery. The project will test a large cohort = of hearing-impaired listeners including cochlear implant users, hearing aid= users, and individuals using unique hearing preservation cochlear implants= that combine electric and acoustic hearing. Over the last 30 years, the Io= wa Cochlear Research Center has built an efficient infrastructure for recru= iting and scheduling subjects that allows testing a large number of hearing= impaired participants with minimal administrative burden for researchers. = The candidate will be involved in all stages of the research: He/she will b= e involved in designing experiments, supervising research assistants for da= ta collection, analyzing data, preparing reports, and disseminating the res= ults. The project leader is Bob McMurray. For more information, please contact Bob McMurray (bob-mcmurray@xxxxxxxx<m= ailto:bob-mcmurray@xxxxxxxx>).
