MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit

The MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit is looking for a post-doctoral research associate with an interest in understanding and improving perception of speech and other sounds by people who hear through a Cochlear Implant. This is a fixed-term post with funds available for 3 years, funded by the Evelyn Trust.

Many users of Cochlear Implants understand speech in quiet conditions but struggle in noisy situations. This is partly because Cochlear Implants can stimulate too many neurons at once, making it difficult to perceive the fine details in everyone's voices.

The successful candidate will lead a research project evaluating current focusing methods to reduce channel interactions and improve speech perception with Cochlear Implants.

 

Closing date 31 August 2025
