Dear Colleagues,
We are now seeking applicants for a position as Research Associate
in the Department of Otolaryngology, Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California (USC).
The individual will be a vital member of a research team (headed by
Principal Investigators, Drs. Carolina Abdala and Christopher Shera)
on an NIH-sponsored
study of new methods for the assessment and
characterization of sensory hearing loss. A graduate degree in hearing
science, audiology, biomedical engineering, neuroscience, or related
fields is required. The person in this position will take the lead on
data collection (measurement of otoacoustic emissions) with
normal-hearing and hearing-impaired adult subjects, using advanced
research probe microphones and custom-designed software programs for
the recording and analysis of otoacoustic emissions. He/she will also
coordinate data collection, management, and analysis as well as
supervise the work of junior testers. The team will meet regularly to
discuss grant progress and review incoming data, trouble shoot,
discuss strategy and plan presentations and dissemination of
findings. The person in this position will have ample opportunity to
contribute creatively to the research process and be involved in the
presentation of research at conferences and seminars. This is an
exciting and stimulating position for a research-minded audiologist or
other researcher interested in hearing and hearing loss, auditory
neuroscience, cochlear mechanics, otoacoustic emissions, and/or
advanced hearing assessment. A communicative person with good people
skills is preferred as this person will be interacting with
inter-disciplinary professionals at USC and other centers/institutes.
Those interested should contact Carolina Abdala
(
carolina.abdala@xxxxxxx) and/or Christopher Shera
(
christopher.shera@xxxxxxx) for more information and instructions on
applying.
