Job offer: Postdoc in the field of modelling speech perception
Dear list,
please forward these job offers to any interested parties.
Sincerely yours,
Karin Klink
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The cluster of excellence Hearing4all: Models, Technology and Solutions
for Diagnostics, Restoration and Support of Hearing at the Carl von
Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg (in collaboration with Medizinische
Hochschule Hannover and Leibniz Universität Hannover) is seeking to fill
as soon as possible the position of *a Postdoctoral Research Associate
in the Field of Modelling Speech Perception*
in the prospective Department of Medical Physics and Acoustics, Faculty
of Medicine and Health Sciences.
A paramount goal of the cluster of excellence Hearing4all
(www.hearing4all.de) is to transform audiology into an “exact” science
based on the interplay between experiment and theory as well as between
basic, clinical and application-oriented research. In the framework
provided by the cluster the successful candidate is expected to
contribute to Research Area A ”Improving Diagnostics” which aims at
developing a comprehensive auditory patient performance prediction
model. The candidate has to contribute to the assessing of audiological
data in collaboration with clinical partners and to the modeling of
speech perception in listeners with normal and with impaired hearing
using “effective” processing models of auditory perception under unaided
and aided conditions for different room acoustic environments.
Candidates are expected to have an academic university degree (PhD
degree and Master or Diploma degree) in rehabilitative audiology,
physics, electrical engineering or a related discipline and have shown
their ability to perform excellent scientific work, usually demonstrated
by the outstanding quality of their Doctorate/PhD research and a good
publication record. We are seeking candidates with extensive knowledge
in at least one of the following research fields: auditory perception,
audiological diagnostics, auditory modeling, acoustics, speech and audio
processing. A strong interest in interdisciplinary and
application-oriented work, familiarity with scientific tools and
programming languages, as well as good English language skills are
required.
The University of Oldenburg strives to increase the proportion of women
in science, so we especially encourage female candidates to apply.
Handicapped applicants will be given preference if equally qualified.
The position is available from 1 December 2012, for initially 2 years,
with prospect for continuation for up to 3 more years. Payment depends
on previous experience, E14 German-TV, full time. The position is
suitable for part-time work.
Please send your application including a cover letter, CV, list of
potential referees, links to recent publications, and copies of
certificates for academic grades to Prof. Dr. Dr. Birger Kollmeier, Carl
von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg, Fakultät V, Exzellenzcluster
“Hearing4all”, 26111 Oldenburg, Germany (or per e-mail:
Karin.Klink@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx). Application by e-mail is preferred. Prof.
Kollmeier (birger.kollmeier@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) can be contacted for
further questions regarding the position. The application deadline is
*December 7th 2012*.
