> 
> 
> Applications are invited for a number of positions at the level of
> Associate Professor (position number 40850) and at the level of
> Assistant Professor (position number 200218) at the Faculty of
> Engineering and Science, Institute of Electronic Systems, Department of
> Acoustics and Sound Quality Research Unit, available from May 1, 2003 or
> 
> soon after.
> 
> Research areas will be within the present activities of the Department
> of Acoustics which focus on 1) human sound perception, including
> perception of direction and distance, hearing thresholds, perception of
> loudness and audiometric measurements 2) effects of noise on human
> beings, e.g. hearing damages and annoyance, 3) recording and
> reproduction techniques with special emphasis on binaural technique, 4)
> sound quality, incl. principles of evaluating product sound and the
> fidelity of reproduced sound,  5) computer generation of authentic sound
> 
> corresponding to fictive acoustic surroundings, e.g. used for
> interactive virtual reality systems. Psychometry, acoustical measurement
> 
> technique, electronics and signal processing form an integral part of
> the research.
> 
> Teaching will primarily be in the study program for Master of Science in
> 
> Electronic and Electrical Engineering, Signal Processing with
> specialization in Acoustics, and Bachelor of Science in Electronic and
> Electrical Engineering, but may also be in other study programmes at the
> 
> University. Much of the teaching is done in English.
> 
> Research activities for some positions are allocated to a research
> programme on ‘Sound Quality’ jointly financed by the university, three
> Danish acoustics industrial partners and government funds. The research
> will be within the areas of sound quality evaluation, identification of
> relevant auditory attributes, instrumental measurement of their
> acoustical correlates, as well as applications to product sound, sound
> design, and high quality audio systems.
> 
> Research activities for the others are allocated to a frame programme
> under STVF (The Danish Technical Research Council): ‘Research in human
> sound perception – with special reference to electro acoustic
> applications’. The research will be within one of the following areas:
> risk of hearing damage, audiometric measurements and equipment
> calibration, annoyance from noise in general and from low frequency
> noise specifically, characteristics of head-related transfer functions
> and their significance in localization.
> 
> Appointment to Assistant Professor (available for a 3-year period)
> presupposes scientific qualifications at ph.d. –level or similar
> scientific qualifications. The research potential of each applicant will
> 
> be emphasized in the overall assessment.
> 
> The level of qualification for Associate Professors (some with a time
> limit of 4 years) shall correspond to the level, which can be achieved
> on the basis of the appointment as Assistant Professor, but may be
> achievable in other ways. The appointment presupposes that the applicant
> 
> can demonstrate original scientific production at an international level
> 
> as well as documented teaching qualifications.
> 
> Appointment to the position requires that both research and teaching
> qualifications are at the requested level. The two qualifications will
> be given equal and principal priority in the overall assessment.
