Summary

The laboratory of Xiying Guan is recruiting a postdoctoral fellow to work on bone-conduction hearing mechanisms. During bone-conduction stimulation, the skull vibration simultaneously stimulates the middle and the inner ear, challenging our ability to understand the underlying mechanisms. We investigate how sound pressures are generated in the cochlea and how the cochlear traveling waves are formed in bone-conduction. We perform intracochlear measurements of sound pressures and vibrations in human cadaveric ears. We develop circuit network models and finite element models to assist data analysis.

Required qualifications

Applicants should have a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering, biomedical engineering, hearing science, or other relevant fields.

Required application materials

To apply, please provide a cover letter describing research experience and interests, your CV, publication reprints (3 max), and contact information for three references to Dr. Xiying Guan, xiying_guan@wayne.edu.
