We will hold a webinar for applicants on Wed 5 Feb 2025 at 1300 GMT (on Mic= rosoft Teams)<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3a4wnSCnunuHzwoz= q6FaI3w4L7jKA0swYJrHxj-6OgEzw1%40thread.tacv2/1737625619777?context=3D%7b%2= 2Tid%22%3a%2265b52940-f4b6-41bd-833d-3033ecbcf6e1%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%22e9e5a= e3f-7a0d-47b7-a6b2-8249943a83f0%22%7d>. In the webinar, I'll outline the pr= ogramme, funding and application process. LAURA supervisors will introduce = themselves and their topics. We'll answer your questions (mic or chat). Aural diversity is the fairly new idea that hearing/listening differences b= etween individuals and groups might be better represented as a spectrum ins= tead of a binary normal/impaired division. The PhD topics will build on the= early work of the https://auraldiversity.org/ research network to apply th= e aural diversity concept in many disciplines concerned with sound. Hence, = the PhDs are mostly rather interdisciplinary and a bit different from mains= tream hearing science. For further information, including how to apply, please refer to our websit= e at https://laura.salford.ac.uk/ We encourage interested applicants to con= tact potential supervisors for an informal discussion.
