Subject: [AUDITORY] Post-doc position in cochlear implant auditory cognition: Univ Iowa Hospitals and Clinics From: Inyong Choi <inyongchoi@xxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 12 Jul 2020 23:23:34 -0500--Apple-Mail=_DB1B070C-0615-48E1-BC2E-C13EE94503E7 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Dear auditory network, Applications are invited for a full-time Postdoctoral Research Scholar = to work in the world class research environment of the Cochlear Implant = Research Center at the University of Iowa. The Postdoctoral Scholar will = contribute to projects that examine cortical networks / functions and = their longitudinal change after hearing interventions (with both = Cochlear Implants and Hearing Aids) using source localized EEG, PET, = pupillometry, and eye-tracking. This position is part of a larger NIDCD funded P50 project that examines = the role of peripheral processing, cortical (re)organization, and = higher-order language processing on audiological and real-world outcomes = of individuals with hearing impairment. The successful candidate will = work across two subprojects (central auditory integration, and cognitive = dynamics of language processing), focusing on investigating both = auditory/cognitive bases of speech in noise perception as well as higher = level language processing. The project leaders are Drs. Tim Griffiths = (Newcastle University) and Bob McMurray (University of Iowa). Dr. Inyong = Choi will provide on-site training and supervision at the University of = Iowa.=20 This position will provide a unique opportunity to collect high-density = EEG, pupillometry, and eye-tracking (Visual World Paradigm) data from a = large cohort of hearing-impaired listeners including adult cochlear = implant users, hearing aid users, and individuals using unique hearing = preservation cochlear implants that use electric and acoustic hearing.=20= Over the last 30 years, the Iowa Cochlear Research Center has built an = efficient infrastructure for recruiting 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 projects. Specifically, he/she = will be involved in designing experiments, supervising research = assistants for data collection, analyzing data, preparing reports, and = disseminating the results in high-quality publications and at = conferences.=20 Candidates are expected to have a PhD in neuroscience, audiology, = psychology, cognitive science, biomedical/electrical engineering, or a = related field. Ideal candidates will have strong research interests in = human neuroscience and translational hearing science. Experience with = signal processing of EEG and neuroimaging data is desirable. Previous = experience with hearing impaired populations is preferred but not = required. Demonstrated skills of positive interactions with research = subjects, project management, and independent work are also preferred.=20= Salary will be based on NIH guidelines. If you are interested in this = position, please contact Dr. Inyong Choi (inyong-choi@xxxxxxxx) with a = brief description of your research experience and interests, a CV, and = contact information of two references.
