Subject: [AUDITORY] POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS at Boys Town National Research Hospital From: "Bosen, Adam K." <Adam.Bosen@xxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2020 16:51:52 +0000--_000_DM5PR16MB0105306FE651A81B70CFD5F3F9440DM5PR16MB0105namp_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Full-time postdoctoral research positions are currently available at Boys T= own National Research Hospital (BTNRH) in the area of human communication a= nd its disorders. Our program includes a stimulating mix of highly qualifi= ed scientists who serve as potential postdoctoral mentors, a staff of resea= rch-oriented clinicians, and state-of-the-art laboratories. Postdoctoral tr= ainees also benefit from strong core support in providing services related = to recruiting and testing human subjects as well for technology development= needed in research. These postdoctoral trainee positions are primarily fu= nded by a T32 institutional training grant from the National Institute on D= eafness and Other Communication Disorders. Opportunities for collaborative research involving several laboratory group= s are encouraged, as are interactions with other postdoctoral fellows at BT= NRH. Fellows create and refine a training plan with their mentor(s) accord= ing to their research directions, skills they wish to further develop, and = career goals. An institution-wide Research Training Committee provides inpu= t on the training plan and comments on trainees=92 progress toward reaching= their goals. Postdoctoral fellows are selected from individuals holding a = Ph.D., M.D. or D.Sc. in areas related to the ongoing research programs at B= TNRH. Applicants must be US citizens or permanent residents to qualify for= T32 funding, but other sources of support exist for applicants who are not= T32-eligible. Candidates from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds = are especially encouraged to apply. Mentors included in the T32 training program range span a wide range of res= earch expertise in communication disorders. Information about the T32 train= ing program and full list of potential mentors may be found here: https://w= ww.boystownhospital.org/research/careers-training/postdoctoral. For the 202= 0-2021 award period, we are specifically seeking post-doctoral candidates w= ith interest and expertise in the areas listed below. However, applicants i= nterested in collaborative or focused research involving other BTNRH labora= tories are also encouraged to apply. 1. Auditory modeling and clinical diagnosis of auditory pathology (Primary = mentor: Dr. Stephen T Neely, Director, Communications Engineering Laborator= y, https://www.boystownhospital.org/research/hearing-speech-perception/comm= unication-engineering) 2. Speech perception in complex listening environments in children with typ= ical hearing or hearing loss (Primary mentor: Dr. Lori Leibold, Director, H= uman Auditory Development Laboratory, https://www.boystownhospital.org/rese= arch/hearing-speech-perception/human-auditory-development) 3. Effects of amplification, language and cognition on speech perception by= children with hearing loss (Primary mentor: Dr. Ryan McCreery, Director, A= udibility, Perception & Cognition Laboratory, https://www.boystownhospital.= org/research/hearing-speech-perception/audibility-perception-cognition) 4. Perceptual and neural processes underlying spatial hearing and auditory = scene analysis, including hearing in simulated rooms, and listening with co= chlear implants or hearing aids (Primary mentor: Dr. G.
