The overall aim of the project will be to investigate
combining CASA and BSS techniques in the separation
of multiple sources.

completion) and have experience in either CASA or BSS or related area.

fragments.

The successful candidate will take up the post as soon as possible
and will be based in the Departments of the Computer Science and
Electronic Engineering. The Post Doc. will have a unique opportunity
to help develop a research group involving these two departments and
