[Small reminder: Deadline December 8, 2022]
Dear list,
We offer a
Research Assistant/Associate (f/m/d) - PhD position -
Hearing Technology and Acoustics
PhD position at the Institute for Hearing Technology and
Acoustics at RWTH Aachen University in the area of audiovisual
psychophysics and cognitive neuroscience
Our Profile
The Chair and Institute for Hearing Technology and Acoustics at
RWTH Aachen University examines sound processing techniques in
the human hearing system.
The goal of the Chair for Hearing Technology and Acoustics is to
expand interdisciplinary research in the field of perception and
processing of sound in complex acoustic environments. Listeners
range from children to the elderly, with and without hearing or
auditory processing disorders. The research topics are directly
related to communication as well as social and cognitive
behavior and are therefore an important part of our daily lives.
Within the scope of the priority program AUDICTIVE (Deutsche
Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG, SPP2236), the Research Training
Group 2416 – Multi senses, Multi scales (DFG), and the project
Equal-Life (EU, Horizon 2020, grant agreement No 87474) the
institute focuses on the perceptual evaluation and cognitive
processing of acoustic and audiovisual stimuli. In this context,
listening experiments are designed, implemented, tested, and
performed to challenge models of cognition and gain a deeper
understanding of cognitive processes. The behavioral results of
these experiments are complemented by (electro-)physiological
measures, such as the electroencephalogram (EEG) to uncover new
relationships between bio signals and behavior.
We offer you the opportunity to work in a dynamic, highly
interdisciplinary team with extensive technical equipment and
advanced training in cutting-edge methods of hearing research
and acoustics.
Your Profile
- Above-average university degree (master's degree or
comparable) in electrical engineering, physics, or another
relevant field and fulfillment of the requirements for
admission to a doctoral program
- Experience with electrophysiological measures, preferably
EEG
- Good knowledge in one or more of the following areas:
acoustic measurement techniques, psychoacoustics, spatial
audio, acoustic virtual reality, statistics
- Good programming skills in Matlab, preferably also Python
- Excellent oral and written communication skills in German
(listening experiments and teaching) and English (teaching,
publications)
- Interest in fundamental research in the field of
behavioral/cognitive neuroscience and its practical
application
- Willingness to contribute to and take responsibility for
teaching activities
- Flexibility and ability to work in an interdisciplinary team
Your Duties and Responsibilities
- Research and development in the research areas of
audiovisual psychophysics and cognitive neuroscience
- Planning, design, implementation, and evaluation of
experiments with audiovisual stimulation techniques and
electrophysiological measurements.
- Publication of scientific papers in peer-reviewed journals
and presentations at scientific conferences.
- Handling of organizational and self-administrative tasks,
contributing to research project applications, and actively
collaborating within the Institute for Hearing Technology and
Acoustics.
- Assisting with courses in the Bachelor’s and Master’s degree
programs (lab courses, seminars, exercises, projects, exam
preparation, supervision and follow-up, (co-)supervision of
students’ final theses).
Please submit your application by December 8, 2022 in
electronic format (pdf) with a detailed curriculum vitae
(including information on research, teaching, and project
management experience), certificates, and contact information
for one or two references to the contact below.
