The Roxelyn and Richard Pepper Department of Communication Sciences
and Disorders at Northwestern
University invites applicants for fully funded (tuition + stipend)
doctoral fellowships in
interdisciplinary research in communication sciences.  As a founding
department of the discipline
of communication sciences, our program consists of basic and
translational/clinical scientists
performing cutting-edge research.


Some of the research questions being addressed by the faculty include:


1.  Neural bases of reading and language development and disabilities

2.  Neurobiology of language recovery in aphasia and other neural
disorders

3.  Biological bases and neural plasticity of speech and music

4.  Mechanics and molecular genetics of the normal and impaired
cochlear

5.  Early conceptual and linguistic development, bilingualism, and
specific language impairment

6.  Swallowing and vocal physiology and head and neck cancer

7.  Computational modeling of language learning and language evolution

8.  Speech (second language) and auditory perceptual learning and
rehabilitative audiology


The Department and University is equipped with state-of-the-art
research and clinical facilities,
including MRI scanners, sound-attenuated chambers for adult and infant
testing, multidisciplinary
clinics in human communication and learning disorders, and equipment
for electrophysiology and
in-vitro physiology recording, eye-tracking, tissue engineering,
optical imaging, super-computing,
and genome sequencing and proteomics.
