Meisam K. Arjmandi

Meisam K. Arjmandi, Assistant Professor at the University of South Carolina and Director of the Translational Auditory Neuroscience (TAN) Lab, is recruiting a PhD student to join the lab in Fall 2027. The lab studies how to improve cochlear implant outcomes and how hearing loss relates to cognition and brain health. Research combines behavioral experiments, neuroimaging methods including MRI and fNIRS, signal processing, and computational approaches. The opportunity is well suited to students interested in auditory neuroscience, hearing science, hearing loss, cochlear implants, cognition, and translational brain research. Applicants from audiology, speech and hearing sciences, neuroscience, biomedical engineering, and related fields are encouraged to apply. Candidates should be curious and motivated and interested in auditory neuroscience and hearing science. Funding consideration is associated with a December 15, 2026 deadline, but the post does not specify stipend, tuition coverage, or the precise funding package. Prospective students can explore the TAN Lab, review the University of South Carolina PhD program and application details, and contact Meisam K. Arjmandi at [email protected] to discuss potential opportunities.
