Job Title:
Post Doctoral Scholar
Department:
Arts and Sciences | Speech Hearing Science
A full-time Postdoctoral Researcher will work with Dr. Terrin Tamati on NIH-funded studies investigating speech communication, cognitive processing, and real-world outcomes in adult cochlear implant (CI) users. The position offers a unique opportunity to contribute to innovative, interdisciplinary research aimed at understanding and improving communication outcomes and quality of life for adults with hearing loss.
This position is ideal for candidates with interests in auditory cognition, aging and hearing, linguistic processing, or CI rehabilitation. The postdoc will also be supported in developing an independent line of research within the broader scope of the lab’s goals. The researcher will have the opportunity to collaborate with national and international partners working in hearing, language, aging, and health equity.
Key Research Areas:
- Longitudinal studies tracking speech recognition, cognitive functioning, and quality of life over time in adults receiving cochlear implants
- Investigations of how cognitive-linguistic factors, social environments, and auditory experiences shape individual differences in CI outcomes and speech communication in normal-hearing adults
- New projects focused on barriers to cochlear implantation, real-world listening challenges such as talker and accent variability, and ecological momentary assessment (EMA) of communication success
Primary Responsibilities:
- Lead and contribute to experimental design, data collection, analysis, and manuscript preparation
- Mentor and supervise undergraduate and graduate research assistants
- Support the development and piloting of new experimental tasks and outcome measures
- Assist with grant writing and lab infrastructure, including IRB protocols and database management
- Present findings at national and international conferences
Required Qualifications:
Ph.D. in Speech and Hearing Science, Psychology, Linguistics, or a related field. Strong writing, organizational, and communication skills. Experience conducting behavioral research with human participants.
Desired Qualifications:
Preferred (but not required): experience with cochlear implant users; skills in REDCap, MATLAB, R, Python, or other experimental platforms; experience with EMA, mixed methods, or speech analysis.
