OCHL has helped shape clinical peds practice as we know it. Anyone taking the job would be so lucky to be involved with the BEST team of people. It is truly translational research at its finest. #ResearchAudiology #Aud2Be

The Pediatric Audiology Lab at Univ of IA is hiring a research audiologist to work on the OCHL studies! Please share with research-minded students & clinicians!! #AudPeeps hearcareers.audiology.org/jobs/18688174/…

Congratulations @ryanwmccreery for being awarded the highest award in educational #audiology. Your research has affected how most of us practice!

Our monthly newsletter is here! We've got our Summer Q&A series starting June 19 & lots of interesting job postings (yes, research-minded clinical AuDs should apply!): mailchi.mp/629ec9ac4f37/r… #ResearchAudiology #Aud2Be #AudPeeps

Join me & the other @RAISNetwork panelists as we talk about careers in research audiology at the @AROMWM coffee hour on Wednesday!

@ResearcherMT @kelsey_e_klein Oh man, one year off! :( @RAISNetwork posts research aud jobs in case your student wants to keep an eye out for future opportunities. Hopefully we can keep them in research after their extern year!

Who knows a peds-focused graduating extern or clinical audiologist with an interest in research? Join our super fun & productive team at the University of Iowa to do high quality research for kids who are hard of hearing! uiowa.referrals.selectminds.com/jobs/research-…
