Subject: PhD students in Acoustical Signal Processing (University of Oldenburg, Germany) From: Simon Doclo <simon.doclo@xxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 22 Oct 2009 16:18:53 +0200 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>The Signal Processing group at the University of Oldenburg seeks applications for PhD students in Acoustical Signal Processing for the duration of 4 years, with a salary according to the E13 resp. E13/2 TV-L scale. We are seeking candidates with a Master (or equivalent) degree in electrical engineering, computer science or physics, who have excellent grades and a solid scientific background in acoustics, signal processing, speech processing and/or auditory perception. Familiarity with scientific tools and programming languages such as MATLAB and C is highly recommended. Research experience in any of the mentioned fields, a strong interest in interdisciplinary and application-oriented work, as well as good English language skills are desirable. The successful applicant will join a newly established research group, whose activities center around signal processing for acoustical applications. More specifically, exciting research topics in the areas of microphone array processing for speech enhancement and source localisation, active noise control, acoustic sensor networks and hearing aid processing are addressed. The Signal Processing group (http://www.sigproc.uni-oldenburg.de) has close collaborations with the Medical Physics group, the Centre for Hearing Research and the Fraunhofer group for Hearing, Speech and Audio Technology. Apart from conducting research that leads to journal publications and a PhD thesis, the PhD student is expected to follow some graduate courses and to be involved on a limited scale into teaching activities and supervision of Master students. Applications including a letter of motivation, CV, a copy of the university diplomas, and contact information of 1-2 possible references should be sent to University of Oldenburg Institute of Physics – Signal Processing Group Prof. Dr. ir. Simon Doclo D-26111 Oldenburg Germany or electronically to simon.doclo@xxxxxxxx Applications will be considered until 30.11.2009. The University of Oldenburg is an equal opportunities employer and explicitly supports applications from female researchers. Handicapped applicants will be given preference in case of equal qualifications. -- _______________________________________________ Prof. Dr. ir.
