[AUDITORY] PhD position in Offenburg, Germany - Bimodal hearing and audiovisual interaction



Dear members of the Auditory List,

I would like to announce a PhD position (100%, 3 years, TV-L 13) in the NeuroAkustik lab at the University of Applied Sciences Offenburg in southwestern Germany (close to the beautiful black forest; around 520 km south of Oldenburg).

 

The title of the research project is “Plasticity of the auditory system with respect to static time differences of the ear signals”.

The project is funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) and aims towards a better understanding of the effect of static interaural time differences on sound localization and speech understanding, taking audio-visual interaction into account. Such static time differences typically occur in e.g. bimodal listeners or unilateral hearing aid users.


Application deadline is December 31, 2020.

 

Your profile:

  • Master’s degree in one of the fields: electrical engineering, biomedical engineering, computer science, hearing technology and audiology, physics or similar
  • Good knowledge in at least one of the programming languages and tools: MATLAB /Python, Unity/Unreal, or similar
  • Knowledge in one or more of the following areas: digital signal processing, audio/video/multimedia technology, statistical analysis methods, conducting / analyzing empirical studies
  • Interest in interdisciplinary research between technology and human perception
  • Good communication skills and enthusiasm, independent working style
  • Good knowledge of English. In addition, fluent German, which is necessary for working with the predominantly German-speaking test subjects.
