A three year training and development position is available to work with
Dr Bob Carlyon, in collaboration with the Emmeline Cochlear Implant
Centre, Cambridge. It is appropriate for a scientist who has either just
completed a doctorate or is in the early post-doctoral period. The
candidate will work on auditory scene analysis by cochlear implant
subjects and by normally hearing subjects. It is expected that the
successful candidate will have some experience in, or knowledge of
cochlear implant research, and will gain additional training and
experience during the appointment. Related work in Dr. Carlyon’s group
includes pitch perception and the processing of frequency changes in the
normal auditory system, neurophysiological correlates of higher-level
auditory processes, and the effects of attention on concurrent sound
segregation
