Opportunities

We provide laboratory and research opportunities for students and graduates at all levels:

Postdoctoral researchers
Medical doctors
Ph.D. students
Undergraduate students
Teacher trainees

The projects have a common theme: To understand the function of the normal and pathological cochlea, and to develop new strategies for its differential diagnosis and causal therapy. The projects encompass a stimulating mix of fundamental and clinically relevant topics.

Our team is multidisciplinary, having expertise in biology, biophysics, engineering, neuroscience, otolaryngology, physics and physiology. Researchers are supported by dedicated technicians. There is a strong emphasis on research in collaboration with, or under the supervision of, one or more experienced investigators.

The scientific language of our team is English, simply because a large number of our lab members is, and always has been, from non-German speaking countries.

We offer research projects to medical students and to students of the science and engineering faculties.

Research-orientated clinicians have the opportunity to participate in established research projects and/or to develop their own projects.

We offer laboratory rotations and research projects to students of the:
Graduate School of Neural and Behavioural Sciences,

Inter-University Centre for Medical Technologies Stuttgart - Tübingen (IZST), and Centre for Neurosensory Systems.

We offer a one-week practical course on selected topics in modern hearing research, called Neurobiological Practical Course - HEARING. It is open to postdoctoral researchers, Ph.D. students, graduates and undergraduates of the medical, science and engineering faculties. This course is generously supported by Zeiss and the German Neuroscience Society.

We offer two specialized courses in the curriculum of the medical faculty: TüKliF “Grundlagen des Hörens” and TüKliS “Physiologische Grundlagen der klinischen Audiometrie”.

We coordinate the European sponsored Marie Curie Training Site HEARING. This scheme enables students enrolled for a Ph.D. at European universities outside Germany to be trained in our laboratories for a period of three months to one year in topics of modern hearing research.
