POSITION TITLE: Research Audiologist
ROLE: Full time (36.25 hours per week)
LOCATION: East Melbourne, with flexibility to work from home in accordance with the Bionics Institute’s guidelines
About the role
The Bionics Institute is seeking a Research Audiologist to join the EarGenie team in the Human Hearing Program as we conduct a series of clinical trials. Led by Professor Colette McKay, the team is working on an innovative diagnostic system that utilises functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to image the brain responses of infants while they hear and differentiate between sounds.
The Research Audiologist will provide key clinical expertise to our diverse research team, which is made up of audiologists, engineers, PhD students, and neuroscientists.
The role involves collecting research data and carrying out various research activities. Data collection primarily involves performing audiological (e.g., behavioural) and imaging (fNIRS) tests with infants. Other research activities include liaising with collaborating audiology clinics and infant recruitment sources, managing recruitment and scheduling, completing ethics and research governance requirements and participating in the publication and dissemination of research findings.
