Vacancies

We are continuously looking for motivated master students interested in conducting an MSc. thesis in middle ear mechanics, bone conduction hearing, or hearing electrophysiology. Feel free to contact us at orl.research[at]usz.ch to discuss possible projects.

Students that are interested in performing an internship or research project within our group are welcome to contact us at orl.research[at]usz.ch. A project example is provided below. 

Electrocochleography recordings during cochlear implantation

Electrocochleography is a measurement method that could help preserve residual hearing in cochlear implant (CI) recipients. During this internship, you will investigate the relationship between electrocochleography recordings and hearing loss etiology. You will:

1)    Learn how to perform electrocochleography recordings in CI recipients, and how these measurements relate to pre-operative residual hearing
2)    Assist and perform measurements during and after surgery in cochlear implant recipients
3)    Analyze relationships between electrocochleography recordings, the pre-operative audiogram, and hearing loss etiology

Conditions: Interest in electrophysiology and working with patients, German speaking skills
