A Research Fellow position is available to work with Dr Karolina Kluk at the University of Manchester, in collaboration with Dr Steven Bell, Professor David Simpson, Dr Tobias Reichenbach, Dr Ben Lineton , Dr Patric Naylor and Dr James Harte. This is an exciting opportunity to work on an EPSRC funded project joint between the Universities of Manchester, Southampton and Imperial College London. The project aims to optimise hearing aid devices for individuals based on the analysis of neurophysiological responses to complex auditory stimuli and especially speech. The project objectives are: 1) Propose, assess, and recommend stimuli to use in assessing hearing performance and access to speech; 2) Propose, assess, and recommend signal processing and analysis methods to extract information on access to speech from Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals, using a minimum number of channels necessary; 3) Assess if responses in the EEG to real-world stimuli are sufficiently sensitive and robust (within a reasonable time-duration of tests) to provide the foundation for the development of clinical procedures; 4) Propose, assess, and recommend algorithms to optimize hearing aid fitting based on parameters extracted from EEG stimulus responses; 5) Assess the feasibility of using this approach in infants and other patient groups.
You will be a highly motivated and independent researcher with experience in programming of experiments and analysis of results. With a numerate first degree (or equivalent) covering neuroscience, physical sciences or engineering, you will also have, or expect to obtain, a PhD (or equivalent) in audiology, psycho-acoustics or acoustics. You will also have excellent statistical analysis and academic writing abilities.
