The Johns Hopkins Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery is once again expanding and we have a new position for clinical audiologist at our new ambulatory satellite facility in Arlington, VA. Qualified individuals should have either a Doctorate or Master’s level degree. Candidates must also meet licensing requirements for the State of Maryland and Virginia.

As this is a new location, the roles and responsibilities are anticipated to expand further as the clinic evolves.

This position is an excellent opportunity for either an experienced audiologist or new graduate to further enhance clinical skills and gain exposure to new challenges. Services provided across the department include diagnostic testing for pediatrics and adults, hearing aids and/or other assistive technology, sedated ABR testing in the OR, osseo-integrated implants, cochlear implants and vestibular testing.
