[AUDITORY] 1-year research position on deep learning for distant-mic speech recognition



Dear list,

We are offering a 1-year postdoc/R&D engineer position on distant-mic speech recognition in the context of a large-scale R&D project on voice control of home appliances involving 5 companies and 3 academic labs.

The successful candidate will conduct research on state-of-the-art acoustic model adaptation and contribute to transfer his/her ideas into a commercial ASR product. More specifically, we are interested in adapting DNN acoustic models to reveberation and noise conditions by exloring deep learning-based uncertainty propagation techniques in the line of [1,2].

Ideal start: March 2016 (possible until June)

Salary: 2600 to 3300 €/month gross depending on experience, plus free health insurance and additional benefits

Ideal profile:
- MSc or PhD in speech processing, machine learning, audio signal processing, or applied statistics
- proficient programming in C++, shell, Matlab/Python
- experience with Kaldi and deep learning software


To apply: send a CV, a motivation letter, a list of publications, and one or more recommendation letters to emmanuel.vincent@xxxxxxxx and irina.illina@xxxxxxxx.

Applications will be assessed on a continuous basis until Jan 15. Please apply as soon as possible before that date.

PS: if you happen to be at ASRU this week and you're interested by this position, please come and say hello.
