From: Lorna Halliday <Lorna.Halliday@MRC-CBU.CAM.AC.UK>
Dear Colleagues,
We would be grateful if you could please circulate the following advert
as appropriate. Apologies for any cross-posting.
Researchers at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit
<http://www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/>, University of Cambridge
<https://www.cam.ac.uk/>, are currently inviting applications for PhD
studentships <http://www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/studentships/> in cognitive
neuroscience, for intake in October 2021. Various funding streams are
available for 3- or 4-year positions.
We are seeking applicants interested in the broad area of *research into
human hearing*. Potential research topics include, but are not limited
to: neuroplasticity in normal and hearing-impaired listeners; effects of
hearing loss throughout the lifespan; computational modelling of
auditory perception; neuroimaging of auditory and speech perception; and
improving hearing by users of cochlear implants and hearing aids.
Interested candidates should contact Lorna Halliday
<https://www.neuroscience.cam.ac.uk/directory/profile.php?lfh29>, Bob
Carlyon <https://www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/people/bob.carlyon/>, Matt Davis
<http://www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/people/matt.davis/home/>, or Tobias
Goehring
<https://www.neuroscience.cam.ac.uk/directory/profile.php?TobiasGoehring>,
in the first instance. The deadline for applications is *3 December
2020*. __
Many thanks.

*PhD programme*
The MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit typically hosts 20-30 graduate
students at any time and applications are invited from prospective PhD
students wishing to pursue research in areas covered by any of our
research programmes. Our approaches include experimental cognitive
psychology, neuropsychology, computational modelling, and neuroimaging
using MRI, MEG, and EEG.
Deadline: 3 December 2020
Applications are made via the University of Cambridge postgraduate study
portal
<https://www.postgraduate.study.cam.ac.uk/courses/directory/cvbspdbsc>.
Please see our poster

*The MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit *
The MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit
<http://www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/> is one of the largest and most enduring
contributors to the understanding of human cognition and its disorders.
Our research investigates fundamental human cognitive processes such as
attention, language, memory, and emotion. We do this using a combination
of behavioural experiments, neuroimaging, and computer modelling.
Behavioural experiments help us understand how these processes work at
all ages and how they become disrupted in disease and disorder.
Neuroimaging helps us study the brain mechanisms underlying human
cognition. Where possible, we use our discoveries to improve human
health and well-being from childhood through to older age, for example
by developing new treatments for clinical disorders of cognition and
mental health. The Unit provides a lively intellectual environment for
scientific research, with regular lecture and seminar series and
research meetings. At any one time, we have about 15 core research
programmes, each run by a senior scientist.
*The Cambridge Hearing Group*
Auditory researchers at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit form
part of the Cambridge Hearing Group
<https://www.hearing-research.group.cam.ac.uk/>, a group of over 30
hearing researchers across two Universities and a major teaching
hospital in Cambridge. Our collaborations within Cambridge enable us to
have a clear pipeline for research activities to flow between the lab
and the clinic. There are unusually strong links between academic
researchers and clinical partners at Addenbrooke's Hospital
<https://www.cuh.nhs.uk/addenbrookes-hospital> and in the private
hearing sector. We have a strong network of collaborators in the UK,
Europe, North America, Canada and Australia. Current major research
themes include cochlear-implant research, from front-end signal
processing to objective measures of neural health, neuroplasticity in
normal and hearing-impaired listeners, binaural processing, the effects
of hearing loss throughout the lifespan, and both physical and
computational models of hearing. The group benefits from a wealth of
world-class expertise in psychology, neuroscience, engineering, surgery,
speech science, audiology, auditory physiology, electrophysiology,
material science, and computer science. We use a wide variety of
research tools to produce cutting-edge research. These include
psychoacoustics, virtual reality, speech perception, web-based data
collection, objective measures such as EEG, biophysical and
computational models of the inner ear, cadaveric studies, clinical
models, and paediatric studies.
