Dear list,
We are happy to invite applications for two 3-year PhD positions starting in September 2018 at the Hearing Systems group, Department of Electrical Engineering, Technical University of Denmark. Please submit your application by
May 31st 2018 online.
The PhD projects are part of the EU Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network TIN-ACT (Tinnitus Assessment, Causes and Treatments,
http://tinact.eu) and will be run in collaboration with our industrial partners:
– “Objective diagnosis of supra-threshold peripheral and early retro-cochlear damage thought to underlie tinnitus” in collaboration with Interacoustics Research Unit (IRU), part of Interacoustics A/S. To apply, see further information
at: http://career.dtu.dk/d5a8f875-a1fc-4bd3-b863-252966d06cd7
– “Exploring innovative hearing aid techniques for tinnitus treatment”
in collaboration with Widex A/S. To apply, see further information at:
http://career.dtu.dk/a8cdd308-7116-4879-a2b3-7c26fa2ceced
Both projects will combine extensive auditory profiling, subjective measures of tinnitus, and objective electrophysiological indicators of tinnitus-related changes in the nervous system. The aim is to provide new diagnostic tools for tinnitus,
and to use these tools for designing individualized tinnitus management approaches.
The applicant should be well-versed in some scientific programming environment (MATLAB, Octave, SciPy) and have knowledge of signal processing (e.g. electrophysiological and/or audio) and experimental design.
In accordance with EU regulations, the following eligibility criteria apply:
– The Master’s degree that qualifies for the PhD position must have been acquired within the 4 years preceding the start of your appointment.
– The PhD researchers shall not have resided in Denmark for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately before the recruitment date and not have carried out their main activity here (work, studies, etc.), unless as part of a procedure
for obtaining refugee status under the Geneva Convention.
At Hearing Systems, the goal of our research is to understand the functioning of the human auditory system and to provide insights that are useful for technical applications, such as speech recognition systems, hearing aids, cochlear implants,
and hearing diagnostics. For more information about Hearing Systems, visit
