The application should be interested in working in a = multidisciplinary team of Otologic surgeons, audiologists, and electrical/m= echanical engineers at an academic university hospital . We are developing = several new hearing devices, and are particularly interested in aspects of = bone conduction hearing. However, there is great opportunity and flexibilit= y in being involved in many different areas of research, as we have a full = clinical service program with cochlear implants, Bahas, and middle ear diso= rders. We have several labs, including a basic science animal/cadaveric lab= , a microfabrication lab, and a patient testing lab. A central research focus would be the development of a new type of bone con= duction hearing device, which fits into the ear canal. Research in this are= a has commercial applications, but we are also particularly interested in m= any physiological aspects of bone conduction hearing, including phase shift= s across the skull, transcranial attenuation and interaction of air and bon= e conduction hearing. There are also many opportunities to be involved in animal work with novel = visualization techniques for the basilar membrane and inner ear, as well me= asurements of middle ear mechanics. These would be outside the core projec= t, but the applicant would have the opportunity to pursue these further if = interested. The applicant would gain exposure to a wide variety of ear path= ologies, and it is very important that they feel comfortable working with h= uman subjects and patients.
