Postdoctoral Scholar Position at the University of Washington
A Postdoctoral Scholar position is available in the Applied Hearing Science Lab at the University of Washington Department of Speech and Hearing Sciences. The Applied Hearing Science Lab is located on the Seattle campus of the University
of Washington. Our lab aims to contribute to translational research and the pursuit of improving hearing healthcare service, with an emphasis on the older adult population. Our current research focuses on identifying individual differences in speech recognition
performance, with the overarching goal of enabling individualized hearing aid fitting and fine tuning. In addition to our lab and the Department of Speech and Hearing Sciences, the University is home to a strong group of scientists conducting research in various
areas related to hearing. This training environment offers and encourages collaboration among this team of researchers.
