Offering Pre-Doctoral and Post-Doctoral Training Opportunities

The University of Wisconsin Voice Research Training Program is designed to foster the development of translational research skills in future leaders in the field of voice science.

It offers promising pre-doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows with comprehensive laboratory and clinical research experiences, as well as exposure to a curriculum in clinical trials, hypothesis-based research design, management, ethics, and data analysis. The training program includes otolaryngologists, speech pathologists and basic scientists working closely with trainees. The combination of training in voice science with a multidisciplinary focus and translational application will make a contribution to future generations of scientists. In addition, the training program offers medical students a short-term summer research opportunity, to encourage future clinicians to become physician-scientists in the field of voice research.

A diverse group of trainers support the program and offer training opportunities in the following voice-related research areas:

Engineering, stem cells and biomaterials
Genetics and proteomics
Physiology and neurophysiology
Biomechanics and modeling
Imaging

Funding to support this program is expected from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders to begin in mid-2009.

We are currently seeking applicants to fill pre- and post-doctoral trainee positions beginning in 2009 and in 2010.
