Subject: [AUDITORY] Funded PhD - Noise mitigation in the operating room From: B Z <bzendel@xxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 6 May 2026 09:25:23 -0230--00000000000065b345065124d78e Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Applications are invited for a funded PhD to study ways of reducing noise during orthopaedic surgeries at Memorial University of Newfoundland. The ideal candidate would be interested in exploring this question from both an occupational health and safety perspective (i.e., hearing protection), and from an engineering perspective (i.e., designing hammers, drills or saws that produce less noise). The student will have the opportunity to work with a team of surgeons, engineers, hearing scientists, and social scientists as part of their PhD. The area of study for the PhD could be in Medicine, or Engineering. Interested applicants should reach out directly to Dr. Benjamin Zendel ( bzendel@xxxxxxxx) with an up-to-date CV. Applications will be reviewed as they come in, and we will continue to accept applications until a suitable candidate is found. We hope to have a candidate in place by Sept 2026, but we would accept start dates as late at Sept 2027. *Benjamin Zendel, PhD* Canada Research Chair - Aging and Auditory Neuroscience Associate Professor Faculty of Medicine Memorial University of Newfoundland (p) 709-864-6080 (e) bzendel@xxxxxxxx (w) https://caanlab.ca --00000000000065b345065124d78e Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"ltr"><div style=3D"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif" clas= s=3D"gmail_default">Applications are invited for a funded PhD to study ways= of reducing noise during orthopaedic surgeries at Memorial University of N= ewfoundland.<br><br>The ideal candidate would be interested in exploring th= is question from both an occupational health and safety perspective (i.e., = hearing protection), and from an engineering perspective (i.e., designing h= ammers, drills or saws that produce less noise). <br><br>The student will h= ave the opportunity to work with a team of surgeons, engineers, hearing sci= entists, and social scientists as part of their PhD.=C2=A0 The area of stud= y for the PhD could be in Medicine, or Engineering.<br><br>Interested appli= cants should reach out directly to Dr. Benjamin Zendel (<a href=3D"mailto:b= zendel@xxxxxxxx">bzendel@xxxxxxxx</a>) with an up-to-date CV.
