Best wishes Bob Research Assistant (Fixed Term) ________________________________ A position is available for a research assistant to work on a project entit= led "A multi-disciplinary approach to understanding and improving hearing b= y cochlear implant users", led by Dr R. Carlyon, Prof J. Middlebrooks, and = Dr. J. Wouters. The position is funded by a Collaborative Award in Science = from the Wellcome Trust and will be based at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sc= iences Unit, University of Cambridge. The project involves a combination of psychophysical and electrophysiologic= al recordings from deaf people whose hearing has been restored by a cochlea= r implant (CI), and, to a lesser extent, from normal-hearing listeners. Exp= erience with computer programming or with the use of experimental programs = is essential, as is some experience with statistical analysis and a good un= derstanding of the auditory system. The job will involve carrying out and a= nalysing the experiments, recruiting CI participants, and liaising with cli= nical colleagues at Addenbrookes hospital, Cambridge. The post-holder will have the opportunity to contribute to the experimental= design and to scientific publications, and to develop skills in direct sti= mulation CI programming, stimulus calibration, and in EEG design and analys= is. A post-holder who already possesses these skills will be able to apply = them to the project. The post-holder will have a degree in a numerate or au= ditory discipline. The role involves liaising with clinical staff at Addenb= rookes hospital and with patients, and so the post-holder will need excelle= nt interpersonal skills. The role also involves collaborating with the team= s led by Prof. Middlebrooks (Univ. California, U.S.A.) and Prof. Wouters (U= niv. Leuven, Belgium). Informal enquiries can be made to Dr. Carlyon (bob.carlyon@xxxxxxxx= k<mailto:bob.carlyon@xxxxxxxx>). --_000_bb207aa130254fc3b8175d0cb178402cmrccbucamacuk_ Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <html xmlns:v=3D"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:o=3D"urn:schemas-micr= osoft-com:office:office" xmlns:w=3D"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word" = xmlns:m=3D"http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2004/12/omml" xmlns=3D"http:= //www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40"> <head> <meta http-equiv=3D"Content-Type" content=3D"text/html; charset=3Dus-ascii"= > <meta name=3D"Generator" content=3D"Microsoft Word 15 (filtered medium)"> <style></style> </head> <body lang=3D"EN-GB" link=3D"#0563C1" vlink=3D"#954F72"> <div class=3D"WordSection1"> <p class=3D"MsoNormal">Dear all,<o:p></o:p></p> <p class=3D"MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class=3D"MsoNormal">We’re pleased to announce a 2-year position fo= r a Research Assistant to work on Cochlear Implants in our laboratory at th= e MRC Cognition & Brain Sciences Unit, University of Cambridge.
