PhD position at Universität Oldenburg, Medical Physics Section, Germany

 

 

The Medical Physics Group at Universität Oldenburg, Germany, seeks a motivated

 

PhD student (70% of full time TV-L 13 position, 3 years, available from 1.6.2017)

 

in the field of model-supported speech intelligibility diagnostics and rehabilitation

 

This DFG-funded project aims to establish an internationally compatible and theoretically supported approach to improve speech audiology, prescription, and assessment of hearing devices. This will be achieved by linking speech-based clinical hearing diagnostics in adverse acoustic conditions and developing and evaluating models of speech intelligibility. The PhD student will be involved in empirical measurements as well as in modelling of speech perception.

 

The project is a collaboration between the Medical Physics Group and leading hearing research centers/clinics in different countries to facilitate multilingual comparisons.

 

The Medical Physics Section (heads: Prof. Dr. Dr. B. Kollmeier, Prof. Dr. V. Hohmann) offers an international scientific environment as well as access to world-class research facilities. For more information about the group see http://www.uni-oldenburg.de/en/mediphysics/.

 

Applicants for the position must hold an academic university degree (master or equivalent) in hearing technology & audiology, physics, engineering, or a related discipline. Furthermore, applicants must have a solid background in at least one of the following fields: auditory perception, hearing aid acoustics, modelling of speech perception, speech and audio processing. A strong interest in interdisciplinary application-oriented work, familiarity with scientific tools and programming languages such as MATLAB, good spoken and written English language skills, and at least some basic German language skills (after an initial period of 6 months) are expected.

 

The University of Oldenburg is dedicated to increase the percentage of female employees in the field of science. Therefore, female candidates are strongly encouraged to apply. In accordance to § 21 Section 3 NHG, female candidates with equal qualifications will be preferentially considered. Handicapped applicants will be given preference in case of equal qualification

 

Applications including a CV, a motivation letter, copies of the most important certificates and the name and contact details of at least one person who is willing to give a reference should be sent to a.warzybok@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx or to
