Hello,
Are you an audio researcher with a passion for science communication? Do you wish to transition #alt-ac to support research in industry? Are you excited about shaping the future of audio in augmented
and virtual reality? My team is actively looking for a person who can support us with research project management and science
communication for audio research in AR/VR.
The details are copied below, please reach out to
Applications can also be emailed directly to franknieu@xxxxxx.
Best,
Antje Ihlefeld
Research Lead, Auditory Perception
Reality Labs @ Meta, Redmond, WA Auditory Perception Project Manager Reality Labs Research at Meta brings together a world-class team of researchers, developers, and engineers to create the future of virtual and augmented reality, which together will become as universal and essential as smartphones and personal computers are today. In particular, the Reality Labs Research Audio team is focused on two goals; creating virtual sounds that are perceptually indistinguishable from reality, and redefining human hearing. These two initiatives will allow us to connect people by allowing them to feel together despite being physically apart, and allow them to converse in even the most difficult listening environments. We are looking for a contract project manager to help us conduct research on spatial audio perception and quality as part of a team of project managers that support senior scientists, researchers, post-docs, and PhD student interns.
