We are at an exciting phase, designing, implementing, and evaluating devic= es that assist in diagnosis and treatment of sensory deficits and neurologi= cal disorders. Based on our original work with the highly successful cochle= ar implant, we are now developing an advanced bionic eye, deep brain stimulation systems for movement disord= ers, an epilepsy monitoring implant, unique brain imaging systems, and a ra= nge of other medical devices. Our goal is to deliver benefits to people liv= ing with challenging health disorders by translating and commercialising our research outputs. Current objectives of the Translational Hearing Research Group The translational hearing research group, led by Professor Colette McKay= and including neuroscientists, clinicians, and engineers, has ongoing proj= ects to translate innovative basic science into improved clinical outcomes = for patients with cochlear implants and other hearing instruments. Our group applies neuroimaging (fNIRS and E= EG), psychophysics, and speech understanding methods with adults and childr= en with hearing loss. We translate the knowledge gained into diagnostic and= clinical management innovations, or improved function of hearing instruments, to improve the quality of lif= e of these hearing impaired individuals. The new position offers an opportunity for a person with strong leadersh= ip potential to join our team. The successful applicant should bring high-l= evel expertise to the group relevant to the neuroscience of hearing, and mu= st have broad multidisciplinary understanding in the area of hearing research and its clinical application= s.
