PhD position in Sensory Biophysics/Neurophysiology
October 2, 2008
The Department of Otorhinolaryngology and the University of Groningen Centre for Audiology (UACG) provide clinical care, teaching and scientific research in the field of hearing disorders, speech/language disorders and voice disorders. The department has special significance as a leading regional reference centre.
Diagnostics, treatment and rehabilitation of patients is provided in multidisciplinary teams built up around specific fields, including:
- cochlear implants
- children with hearing problems and speech/language problems
- tinnitus.The duties of all UACG staff include supervising student trainees and participating in scientific research.
Functiebeschrijving
Job description:
A grant awarded by the Heinsius Houboltfonds has provided funds for a researcher/PhD student for the Tinnitus research project. The subsidized research project is part of a study of the neurophysiological mechanisms that lie at the root of tinnitus. The main assumption in the research project is that tinnitus is caused by deviant neural activity in the auditory areas of the brain. Conducting animal experiments will form one of your duties. In addition, you will further develop the experimental setup for electrophysiological research and conduct measurement of neural brain activity in laboratory animals. This part of the research mainly focuses on developing and implementing methods for describing neural brain activity by means of signal analysis techniques. These techniques will subsequently be used to study the effects of local medicinal interventions in the auditory organ (the cochlea) on brain activity.
Functie-eisen
Job requirements
- You have finished or nearly finished a university Master’s degree programme in the field of neurosciences, physics, biophysics, biomedical technology, audiology or a related field.
- Your academic qualities are demonstrated by excellent study results.
- You are strongly motivated to complete a PhD programme.
- You have excellent social and communicative skills.
- You are able to work both independently and as part of a team.

Dear Sir,
This is Ashok.S, I have done M.Sc in Physics and M.Phil Biophysics from NIMHANS, Bangalore.
I am interested in Ph.D position and to be a part of your program.
Dear Sir,
I am Saeed Salari from Iran. I have graduated in DVM (Doctor of Veterinary Medicine) degree in 2007.
I have investigated the neurophysiological mechanisms of food intake in broilers.
There are many gut-brain peptides that act as signals in food intake. By intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of them we can find out the effect of those peptides in food intake mechanisms. On the other hand, by ICV injection companion with PCR we can find out the central interaction between tow peptides that inject in ICV manner, as I did in my thesis.
Furthermore, in my thesis, I have learned some techniques with other analytical techniques, for example, Semiquantative RT_ PCR.
My supervisors in Iran (Dr. H. Jonaidi and Dr. M. M. Yaghoobi) have some articles about that subject in reliable journals and they will confirm me, if it is needed.
I would like to go on my education in Ph.D course and to join your esteemed university. Kindly help me if it is possible.
With best regards
Saeed Salari
