Please find a link to a an application for the following post: Research Associate - £32,236 - £39,609 Senior Research Associate - £40,792 - £51,630 *Appointment at Senior Research Associate level is subject to approval by the Faculty Board of Clinical Medicine * Applications are invited for a Research position in the group of Professor Manohar Bance, Professor of Otology and Skull Base Surgery. The position would develop research centered round understanding cochlear implant stimulation spread in the inner ear, and in the human head, and how to optimize cochlear implant stimulation parameters. The research plan involves measuring the electrical impedance of human tissue to build a map and model of current/stimulation spread pathways using micro fabricated electrical sensing arrays. The group plan to use this information to build artificially fabricated inner ears which can be implanted with real cochlear implants, using the implanted electrical sensors to measure current spread. The eventual aim is to develop a platform for cochlear implant research and development based on a completely configurable 'artificial ear" that is electrically very similar to a living ear, but allows exact mapping of stimulation fields and how they are affected by different electrode designs, stimulation parameters, and change in the electrical mileu such as can occur with clinical conditions. The ideal candidate will have a background in the mapping of electrical fields and impedance measurement testing, ideally of biological tissues. Experience in microfabrication, and 3D printing would be an asset. Experience in building models of electrical stimulation would be an asset. Previous experience with cochlear implants or implantable electrical devices would also be desirable. The successful candidate will hold a PhD (or equivalent) in a relevant specialist subject area, such as electrical engineering, physics, biomaterials or biomedical engineering Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available until 30 September 2021 in the first instance. Once an offer of employment has been accepted, the successful candidate will be required to undergo a health assessment. To apply online for this vacancy, please click on the 'Apply' button below.

Hello list,
The Clinical Research group at Advanced Bionics has an open position for a research audiologist. This position is located at our headquarters in sunny Valencia, California.
The person in this position will be part of a team that conducts the clinical study of emerging cochlear implant technologies. A day in the life of this person might include test sessions with cochlear implant users, writing and report preparation, or meetings with engineers and product managers to share study outcomes or establish new product definitions.
The ideal profile includes these traits:
- Audiologic experience in the prescription and management of cochlear implants
- Interest in research, including the collection and analysis of outcomes data
- Enjoys a fast-paced and multi-disciplinary work environment
- Excellent spoken and written English language ability
You’re invited to contact me directly with questions or apply online (https://bit.ly/2IjgQWm)
Cheers,
Jason
