Dear colleagues, Dr. Ryan Corey at the University of Illinois Chicago is recruiting one or more PhD students to start in Fall 2027. The
Listening Technology Lab studies audio and acoustic signal processing for systems that enhance and augment human hearing. Ongoing projects include both engineering and behavioral research on multi-talker
conversation enhancement, dynamic range control algorithms for hearing devices, and wireless hearing assistive technology. Students can expect to work on mathematical analysis, hardware and algorithm design and implementation, acoustic experiments, human studies,
and outreach activities. The lab is funded by NSF, NIH, DoD, and industry sponsors. Candidates should have a bachelor’s or master’s degree in a relevant engineering discipline. Experience in hearing science, disability studies, and/or behavioral research is valuable but not required. Students will enroll in the
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at UIC, which is located in the heart of downtown Chicago. Research assistants receive a competitive stipend, tuition waiver, and benefits. Prospective students are encouraged to apply by December 15 to
receive a partial application fee waiver. Learn more about the department and admissions process at
