Student Research
Student
research topics for a Ph.D. may include
i. Applied
Research
Research with a diagnostic
audiology focus, typically experimental in design, with human subjects.
Research topics may utilize existing clinical instruments/procedures
(e.g., audiometry, wideband power reflectance, otoacoustic emissions,
auditory evoked potentials) to examine pathologies of the human ear or
use custom-designed systems to investigate objectively and/or
subjectively changes to the auditory system associated with pathology.
ii. Basic
Research
Research that focuses on
normal auditory mechanisms. Research design may
be theoretical and/or experimental using animal or
human subjects (or both).
Student research may also be a combination of (i) and (ii).
Students interested in pursuing a Ph.D. in the APL should contact
either Dr Withnell or Dr Shofner. Please note that we are unlikely to
respond to inquiries that are obviously mass-mailings. We are also
unlikely to respond to email inquiries that are of a general nature and
exhibit little familiarity with our research or the proposed research
endeavor. Prospective students should do their homework on their area
of research interest and communicate why they are interested in a
particular area of research for a Ph.D.
Student funding for a Ph.D. is at present predominantly provided
through Departmental support and so is very competitive and limited.
