Subject: [AUDITORY] PhD Position on noise sensitivity From: MARQUIS FAVRE Catherine <Catherine.MARQUISFAVRE@xxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 26 Aug 2022 13:20:20 +0000 --_000_80545fb2cee84d339911af77d05e3d73entpefr_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Dear List, We propose the following PhD position, please feel free to share within you= r network, and encourage potential candidates to reach out if they want to = chat informally about the position & its practicalities. PhD Position: Contribution to the understanding of noise sensitivity and it= s underlying mechanisms Noise sensitivity is a personal predisposition accounting for an individual= 's reaction to noise.

A three-year research project funded by the Fondation pour l'Audition (gran= t FPA RD-2022-6) aims to investigate this question in-depth by reviewing th= e pertinent literature, setting up, running and analyzing laboratory experi= ments as well as conducting surveys. The relevance of this work is the conc= eptual clarification of the concept and the designation of a reliable measu= re of noise sensitivity with future applications in public health surveys.
