Training in Hearing and Communication Neuroscience

南方大学研究听力和声音交流神经科学的教员 加州大学(USC)为博士后、博士后和内科科学家设立了研究培训计划 2009年开始的学者：听力和交流神经科学(HCN)培训计划。这个 该计划将广泛的科学家聚集在一起，以加强跨学科交流，并提供 提供连接基础科学和转化性研究的研究培训机会的优势 和临床应用。该计划旨在加强科学家之间的研究和培训互动 在多恩西夫文学、艺术和艺术学院学习听力和声音交流的基本方面 科克医学院和南加州大学维特比工程学院。该计划结合了 一批杰出的研究人员的优势，南加州大学研究生课程的资源 神经科学、发育/干细胞/再生医学、心理学和语言学，以及 由耳鼻咽喉科提供的临床耳鼻咽喉科优秀。这项建议的基本原理是 让博士后、博士后和医生科学家实习生参与高度互动和多学科的培训 培训经验，从细胞生物学到认知神经科学和语言学，不受 传统的部门障碍，并积极促进他们作为独立科学家的发展。 在前十年，我们成功地填补了优秀的博士后和博士后学者的职位。 多年来的节目。博士前实习生通常在毕业第二年参加该项目。 参加培训的博士后学员的资历各不相同。所有受训人员 接受听力和通信神经科学各方面的多学科培训，以及 实践技能，将为他们在独立资助的研究、教育和工业领域的职业生涯做好准备。 能够让学员直接接触基础科学的前沿研究以及正在进行的临床研究 研究和应用是该计划的一大优势。

Faculty who study the neuroscience of hearing and vocal communication at the University of Southern California (USC) established a research training program for predoctoral, postdoctoral, and physician-scientist scholars starting in 2009: the Hearing and Communication Neuroscience (HCN) Training Program. The program brings together a broad spectrum of scientists to enhance inter-disciplinary communication, and offers the advantage of providing research training opportunities that bridge basic science with translational research and clinical applications. The program serves to reinforce research and training interactions between scientists who study basic aspects of hearing and vocal communication in the Dornsife College of Letters, Arts & Sciences, the Keck School of Medicine, and the Viterbi School of Engineering at USC. The program combines the strengths of an outstanding group of researchers, the resources of USC graduate programs in Neuroscience, Development/Stem Cell/Regenerative Medicine, Psychology, and Linguistics, and expertise in clinical otologic excellence provided by the Department of Otolaryngology. The rationale of this proposal is to engage predoctoral, postdoctoral, and physician-scientist trainees in a highly interactive and multi-disciplinary training experience ranging from cell biology to cognitive neuroscience and linguistics that is unfettered by conventional departmental barriers, and to actively facilitate their development as independent scientists. We have successfully filled positions with outstanding predoctoral and postdoctoral scholars during the first ten years of the program. Predoctoral trainees typically join the program during the second year of their graduate training, whereas the level of seniority of post-doctoral trainees participating in the program varies. All trainees receive multi-disciplinary training in all aspects of hearing and communication neuroscience, as well as practical skills that will prepare them for careers in independently-funded research, education, and industry. The ability to expose trainees directly to both cutting-edge research in basic science as well as ongoing clinical research and applications is a major strength of the program.
