[AUDITORY] PhD position in applied psychoacoustics at Dept. of Medical Physics and Acoustics, University of Oldenburg



Dear list,

 

the Acoustics Group at the University of Oldenburg is looking for a

 

Ph.D. student in Applied Psychoacoustics (m/f/d)

 

Salary is according to 83 % E13 TV-L for a project duration of 3 years.

 

The aim of the project is an extension of an existing prediction model for level penalties in the context of fan noise. One major focus will be to quantify and model the impact of single and multiple tonal components on fan noise evaluations.

 

We are looking for a Ph.D. candidate with an academic university degree (Master or equivalent) in psychology or physics (or a related discipline) with experience in applied psychoacoustics, to work on a three-year BMWi-funded project focusing on fan noise perception. Basic knowledge of signal processing is required and applicants need to have basic programming knowledge in Matlab. Experience in conducting listening experiments and statistical analyses is beneficial. Solid proficiency in either German or English and basic proficiency in the respective other language is required. The successful candidate is expected to conduct research in applied psychoacoustics leading to scientific publications in peer-reviewed journals.

 

The acoustics group offers an attractive environment with research covering auditory perception, computational auditory scene analysis, new technologies for sound reproduction, and sound quality research for automobile and aviation. The University of Oldenburg is known for its wide range of activities in hearing research and offers an excellent environment for a research project in applied psychoacoustics.

 

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. Applicants with disabilities will be given preference in case of equal qualification.

 

Interested candidates can contact Steven van de Par for more information and should send an application, CV, copies of their university diplomas, and contact information for 1 or 2 references to:
