Dear list,
on behalf of Prof. Martin Ziegler from Kiel University (Germany), I would like to forward this job opening:
--
At the Institute of Materials Science at Kiel University, the
Chair of Energy Materials and Devices (Prof. Dr. Martin Ziegler) has now offered a position as
Research Assistant (m/f/d)
until 30.9.2028. Salary will be paid according to E 13 TV-L. The regular weekly working time corresponds to 75% of a full employment (currently 29.025 hours). The opportunity to prepare for a doctorate
is given.
The position is part of the research group "NeuroSensEar: Neuromorphic acoustic sensor technology for high-performance hearing aids of tomorrow", funded by the Carl Zeiss Foundation. The aim of
the research group is to integrate principles of biological information processing into hearing aid technology and to investigate interactive outputs for better listening comprehension so that people with hearing impairments largely regain their ability to
perceive hearing. Further information on the Research Unit can be found on the project website under
https://www.tu-ilmenau.de/neurosensear.
Area of responsibility
The aim of the subproject is to understand biological principles of auditory signal processing using various model systems from animals (especially insects) in order to derive innovative solutions
to increase performance and efficiency for hearing aid technology. The project is carried out in collaboration with the Animal Physiology Group (Prof. M. Nowotny, Dr. Stefan Schöneich) at the Friedrich Schiller University in Jena. The scientific focus of the
position to be filled in Kiel is in the field of mathematical modelling of auditory systems of insects. The aim is to reconstruct biological models in such a way that they can be reproduced by numerical models, which can then be transferred to technical systems;
so-called neuromorphic systems.
Employment requirements:
• Scientific degree (Master’s or equivalent) in engineering, neuroscience, physics, mathematics, or a related field of study
• Extensive programming knowledge in Matlab, Python, or C/C++
• Basic knowledge of auditory systems and modeling of neural circuits
• Professional competence in one or more of the following areas is desirable: algorithms for hearing aids, bioacoustics, neuronal and technical signal processing, neuromorphic systems
• Motivation and ability to work scientifically with an independent and responsible way of working are essential
• Communication and teamwork skills, as well as very good written and spoken English skills (comparable to at least level B2) are necessary (knowledge of German is an advantage but not essential).
We offer:
• a good work-life balance due to the possibility of variable working hours
• Employee conditions in various institutions (canteen, university sports, job tickets)
• 30 days of vacation per year
• a company pension scheme with a high co-payment by the employer
• Etc.
Kiel University sees itself as a modern and cosmopolitan employer. We welcome your application regardless of your age, gender, cultural and social background, religion,
ideology, disability or sexual identity. We promote gender equality. Women will be given priority if they are equally suitable, qualified and professionally performed.
Kiel University is committed to employing people with disabilities: Applications from severely disabled people and their equivalents will be given preference if they are suitable.
Required documents:
• A short curriculum vitae (2 pages).
• A short but meaningful letter of motivation (1 page) in which you convincingly state your interest in this research opportunity.
Please send applications including CV and copies of university certificates
by 08.01.2025 as a single pdf file by e-mail to:
Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Abel.
