The School of Physics, Engineering and Technology at the University of York are seeking to appoint an outstanding academic to teach on our Undergraduate and Taught Postgraduate programmes in the areas of Audio and Music Technology.
We are seeking candidates with expertise complementary or additional to our existing teaching portfolio. Aligned topics include: Audio for XR applications (e.g. VR/AR, game audio, Metaverse); Machine learning for audio/acoustics; real-time interactive audio system design; high performance computing and audio; numerical acoustic simulation; perception of sound reproduction systems; environmental soundscape; immersive sound for virtual production workflows; audio systems informed from neuroscience and psychology research.
It is expected that post holders will have evidence of a strong track record of teaching in audio with areas of expertise that will make a significant contribution to teaching and scholarship in the school.
Following recent, significant investments in Engineering at the University of York, together with significant research grant success from both AHRC and EPSRC in this area, this is an exciting time to join the AudioLab.
