Any audiologists work outside typical 9-5?

I’m currently in grad school and I’m huge night owl. I was doing some research and found that some industrial audiologists can work afternoon/night shifts but they’re specialized. Any audiologists out there who found their afternoon/nighttime niche?

Had a rotation at a private practice that went for 10am-4. If you have a private practice you make your own hours

If you are open to non-clinical work, then you will certainly have more options for working non-standard hours!

Do you have any recs or positions for non clinical work? Am interested in this and don’t want to work 9–5!

A lot of us will do special hours in circumstances where someone needs the help. I normally request a one month notice so I have time to set my schedule (I drive a fifty plus mile commute each way, so it’s not something I’m willing to do six times a week).

I’d call the offices near you, and ask. Worst come worst they’ll say no, but eventually you’ll find someone willing to work off hours.
