We are looking for candidates with an academic= master degree (or equivalent) in acoustics, physics, bio-medical engineeri= ng, hearing research, technical audiology or related disciplines. The docto= ral fellowships are meant to allow the successful applicants to start indep= endently into a later-to-be-defined PhD project in connection with the coll= aborative research centre (CRC) The hearing research in Oldenburg is providing an attractive research envir= onment within international teams and modern research facilities. Please co= ntact us for any question about the CRC and the stipends. Interested candid= ates should send an application, a CV and copies of their university diplom= as to: Prof. Dr. Dr. Birger Kollmeier E-Mail: birger.kollmeier(at)uol.de<javascript:linkTo_UnCryptMailto('nbjmup+= cjshfs\/lpmmnfjfsAvoj.pmefocvsh\/ef');>, cc to manfred.mauermann(at)uol.de<= javascript:linkTo_UnCryptMailto('nbjmup+lbsjo\/lmjolAvoj.pmefocvsh\/ef');> Sonderforschungsbereich 1330 H=F6rakustik Universit=E4t Oldenburg, D - 26111 Oldenburg - Germany phone (+49) 441 798 5470 Kind regards Manfred Mauermann Dr. rer. nat.

November 2018 17:24 An: AUDITORY@xxxxxxxx Betreff: Hearing-related PhD studentship available for UK residents BBC and Queen Mary University of London have an ICASE PhD studentship avail= able for a talented researcher. It will involve researching the idea of int= elligent mixing of broadcast audio content for hearing impaired audiences. Project Description This project will explore new approaches to audio production to address hea= ring loss, a growing concern with an aging population. The overall goal is = to investigate, implement and validate original strategies for mixing broad= cast content such that it can be delivered with improved perceptual quality= for hearing impaired people. Soundtracks for television and radio content typically have dialogue, sound= effects and music mixed together with normal-hearing listeners in mind. Bu= t a hearing impairment may result in this final mix sounding muddy and clut= tered. First, hearing aid strategies will be investigated, to establish the= ir limitations and opportunities for improving upon them with object- based= audio content. Then different mixing strategies will be implemented to cou= nteract the hearing impairment. These strategies will be compared against e= ach other in extensive listening tests, to establish preferred approaches t= o mixing broadcast audio content. Requirements and details This is a fully funded, 4 year studentship which includes tuition fees, tra= vel and consumables allowance and a stipend covering living expenses. Skills in signal processing, audio production and auditory models are prefe= rred, though we encourage any interested and talented researchers to apply.= A successful candidate will have an academic background in engineering, sc= ience or maths. The student will be based in London. Time will be spent between QMUL's Cen= tre for Digital Music and BBC R&D South Lab, with a minimum of six months a= t each. The preferred start date is January 2nd, 2019. All potential candidates must meet UK residency requirements, e.g. UK citiz= en or EU citizen with long-term residence.
