Subject: [AUDITORY] PhD position objective fitting of cochlear implants at ExpORL - KU Leuven From: Robin Gransier <gransier.r@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 3 Mar 2020 14:42:54 +0100 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--000000000000b85ae1059ff37b24 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable PhD position objective fitting of cochlear implants at ExpORL - KU Leuven = We have PhD position available on the topic: Automatic objective fitting of next generation auditory implants This is a *PhD position* at the research group ExpORL, the Department of Neurosciences, KU Leuven, Belgium and under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Jan Wouters. In this project we will develop a clinically applicable objective method for the fitting of *cochlear implants*. The work involves the development of novel test procedures of *EEG-based objective measures* in the human brain, as well as the clinical translation of these methods. This will be done by improving current electrically-evoked auditory brainstem response and auditory steady-state response measurement paradigms, and by developing a clinically feasibly and fully objective fitting method for cochlear implants. We seek a highly motivated candidate that holds a Master=E2=80=99s degree i= n Audiology, Neuroscience, Physics, Biomedical engineering, Electrical engineering, or similar profile. Candidates with a proficient knowledge of the *Dutch language* are especially encouraged to apply. Experience with programming (e.g., Matlab, Python, or R) and/or EEG processing or other electrophysiology techniques is a surplus. Please see the link for more information about the position and how to apply. https://www.kuleuven.be/personeel/jobsite/jobs/55517495 For more information please contact Prof. dr.
