About this position

Research Fellow in Development of a Novel Vestibular Diagnostic

The University of Birmingham is recruiting a Research Fellow for a clinically focused project developing and validating a novel vestibular diagnostic based on Electrical Vestibular Stimulation (EVS). EVS has the potential to provide a faster, lower-cost, more comfortable alternative to established vestibular diagnostics, with fewer contraindications than caloric irrigation.

The project will evaluate ocular responses to EVS in patients with Meniere’s disease and Vestibular Schwannoma. Results will be compared with established approaches including the video Head Impulse Test (vHIT) and caloric irrigation, helping determine the clinical validity and diagnostic performance of EVS in a larger patient cohort.

The Research Fellow will contribute across the full research workflow, including patient recruitment, vestibular testing, data acquisition, analysis, interpretation, and preparation of academic publications. Patient recruitment will be conducted with clinical colleagues at Queen Elizabeth Hospital, while testing will take place in the laboratories of the School of Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation Sciences using custom-designed equipment and commercially available diagnostic systems.

Data collection and analysis will involve Matlab and Simulink. The role offers the opportunity to work in a collaborative research environment involving the University of Birmingham research team, clinical colleagues, a project manager, and Interacoustics, an industrial collaborator specialising in hearing and balance diagnostics. The post holder may also develop related research projects in consultation with the principal investigators and contribute to conference presentations, research governance, laboratory development, and supervision of students.

Funding details

This is a full-time, fixed-term salaried Research Fellow position at Grade 7. The starting salary is normally £37,369 to £46,970, with potential progression to £49,798 once in post.

What's required

Applicants must have an undergraduate degree with at least a 2:1 in Audiology, Human Neuroscience, Physiology, Psychology, Neurophysiology, or a related discipline, and a PhD in one of these areas or a related discipline. They should have a research track record in human physiology or neurophysiology, evidence of independent research contribution including first-author publications, strong analytical skills including Matlab experience, and the ability to communicate complex information clearly, manage resources, contribute to administration, and coordinate work with colleagues. Experience with Matlab and Simulink, independently setting up and troubleshooting custom human physiology or neuroscience experiments, and working with clinical populations is desirable or advantageous. DBS clearance is required before appointment.

How to apply

Apply through the University of Birmingham Employee Careers portal using the direct job listing. Submit the application before 19 November 2026 and ensure the written elements accurately reflect your own communication style.
