Subject: Job postings for Psychoacousticians/Engineers, Singapore From: Dan Ellis <dpwe(at)EE.COLUMBIA.EDU> Date: Thu, 22 Jul 2004 12:55:56 -0400Dear List - I was sent the enclosed two announcements at an interdisciplinary research lab in Singapore for circulation on the list. I hope they're of interest. DAn. ------- Forwarded Message Subject: Job postings for Psychoacousticians, Electrical Engineers Date: Mon, 19 Jul 2004 11:20:08 +0800 From: "Bee Leng Low" <bllow(at)ibn.a-star.edu.sg> Psycho-Acoustician (Auditory Research Group) -------------------------------------------- We are inviting enthusiastic research personnel to join us in conducting research on free-field and directional hearing tests. They will pioneer research in understanding how the human brain analyzes and processes complex sounds in the auditory system. Psycho-acoustical tests will be performed in a specially built hemi-anechoic chamber, equipped with specialized speaker booms to support comprehensive testing. These experiments will help us understand the benefits of directional cues in auditory processing and help assess the benefits of bilateral fitting of hearing devices such as hearing aids, bone-anchored devices and cochlear implants. Applicants should have a PhD in Experimental Psychology or a related field, with a particular emphasis on psychometric auditory research. Successful applicants will be expected to develop experimental protocols for testing free-field auditory performance of hearing aids and devices. They will also conduct directional testing to assist in the clinical trials of devices and prostheses. Electrical Engineer ------------------- We are searching for electrical engineers to conduct research on the middle and inner ear. A wide variety of electrophysiological experiments will be conducte d in specially built hemi-anechoic chambers, generating output signals such as evoked potentials, laser interferometer, hydrophone pressure sensor etc. These experiments will help in the understanding of auditory physiology and will assist in the design of middle ear reconstruction prostheses and implantable hearing devices. Applicants should have a PhD in Electrical Engineering or a related fields, with a particular emphasis on electrophysiology. Those with the relevant expertise but no prior experience in hearing research, are also encouraged to apply. Successful candidates will be expected to design and develop specialized systems and circuits for electrophysiological experiments. They will also customize testing apparatus to facilitate the research, and help calibrate and maintain the highly specialized equipment used by the Group. -------------------------------------------- If you are interested in joining a multidisciplinary research institute at the cutting edge of bioengineering and nanotechnology, please forward a cover letter, your curriculum vitae, and a list of three references to : Prof. Jackie Y.
