Subject: Research Fellow position at University of Salford From: Bones Oliver <O.C.Bones@xxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 12 Dec 2016 14:59:25 +0000 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY> --_000_84D5CBE57A590446942AD9545DFD155F0572EE60uospexch03_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Research Fellow: Spatial Audio Assessment (Fixed term 12 months) The Acoustics Research Centre at the University of Salford is looking to em= ploy a postdoctoral research fellow to work on an EPSRC funded programme gr= ant on spatial audio. 3D sound can offer listeners the experience of "being= there" at a live event, such as the Proms, but currently requires highly c= ontrolled listening spaces and loudspeaker setups. The goal of the programm= e grant is to realise practical 3D audio for the general public at home. Th= e project is a collaboration with the Universities of Surrey and Southampto= n, and BBC R&D. You will lead the work at Salford University investigating how to assess li= stener experience of spatial audio systems. You will do this by developing,= carrying out and analysing psychoacoustic measurements. You will work clos= ely with BBC R&D and Delta to develop and refine assessment methods relevan= t to new international standards. We expect candidates to have a PhD in acoustics, preferably in spatial audi= o. The successful candidate will be proficient in psychoacoustic experiment= ation.
