L) "Computational Auditory Scene Analysis (CASA)" (TV-L E13, full time) (development of CASA methods for hearing aids and assistive technology, development of algorithms for improving speech intelligibility in complex acoustic scenes) M) "Hearing Aid Algorithm Evaluation & Individualization" (TV-L E14, full time) (tests of prototype hearing devices with patients, fitting methods for experimental hearing devices based on personalized diagnostic data) The positions are available from 1 November 2012, for initially 2 years, with prospect for continuation for up to 3 more years. The positions are suitable for part-time work. The successful candidates are expected to actively contribute to the cluster of excellence "Hearing4all" and to the further structured research programmes within the Centre of Excellence for Hearing Research, i.e. the collaborative research centre "The Active Auditory System" (SFB/TRR31), the research unit "Individualized Hearing Acoustics", the national centre of competence for hearing technology (HörTech) and the PhD programs "Function and Pathophysiology of the Auditory System" and "Signals and Cognition". A successful candidate is expected to have an academic university degree, be able to perform excellent scientific work usually demonstrated by international publications and should be experienced in at least one of the respective research areas listed above. She/He should be qualified for assuming an important research function within the task groups (TG) of the cluster of excellence (c.f. www.hearing4all.de for further details about the positions). Please indicate in your application for which position(s) you apply. The University of Oldenburg strives to increase the proportion of women in science, so we especially encourage female candidates to apply. Handicapped applicants will be given preference if equally qualified. Please send your application at the latest by October 31st, 2012 to Prof. Dr. Dr. Birger Kollmeier, Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg, Fakultät V, Exzellenzcluster "Hearing4all", 26111 Oldenburg (or per e-mail: Karin.Klink@xxxxxxxx)uni-oldenburg.de). Application by e-mail is preferred. The application should include a CV, a list of publications and copies of certificates of academic grades. -- Dr. Karin Klink Medizinische Physik Fakultät V - Institut für Physik Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg 26111 Oldenburg, Germany Email: karin.klink@xxxxxxxx Tel.
