The Callier Center for Communication Disorders, in affiliation with the Department of Speech, Language and Hearing in the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences at UT Dallas, provides outstanding opportunities for research in clinical and associated basic aspects of communication sciences and disorders. The Callier Center’s two locations (in Dallas adjacent to UT Southwestern Medical Center, and on the UT Dallas campus in Richardson) house state-of-the-art research laboratories where interdisciplinary translational research is performed. The Callier Center also houses outpatient clinics and programs that serve adults and children with a variety of speech, language, and hearing disorders. A research participant registry facilitates seamless interactions between clinical and research arms.
Research programs housed at the Callier Center broadly investigate speech and language development and disorders, as well as hearing loss and its prevention. Callier post-docs have the flexibility to design individually-tailored programmatic research training plans that leverage multi-disciplinary collaborations. Example opportunities involve study of neurological and behavioral correlates of typical and atypical language development, including bilingualism and effects of poverty (Evans, Maguire, Lee, Su), neurologically based language and psychiatric disorders in adults (Behroozmand, Hart, Lee), neuroscience of speech and voice, including sensorimotor biomarkers (Behroozmand, Shembel), and understanding and treating neurodevelopmental language disorders, including autism and developmental language disorder (Evans, Lee, Rollins, Stillman, Su). In the hearing domain, areas of opportunity encompass the neurobiology of hearing and hearing disorders (Jahn, Lobarinas, Le Prell, Shoup) and auditory rehabilitation (Thibodeau, Warner-Czyz).
