[AUDITORY] 10-month postdoc in soundscapes available (Davies Bill )

Subject: [AUDITORY] 10-month postdoc in soundscapes available From: Davies Bill <W.Davies@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 27 Nov 2018 08:49:38 +0000 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY> --_000_VI1PR01MB4575548C89AFB461ACDC856BD2D00VI1PR01MB4575eurp_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Dear List, Apols if you see this more than once. I'm looking for a postdoc to help finish off a funded project in soundscape= s and machine listening. The project is called Making Sense of Sounds and i= s a collaboration between acoustics research at Salford and the machine lis= tening group at Surrey. We have funding until 31 October 2019. I realise th= is is not as attractive as a 3- or 5-year post but it may be that you know = of someone who would be interested. The project is investigating how to make sense from sound data, focussing o= n how to convert sound recordings into understandable and actionable inform= ation, and specifically how to allow people to search, browse and interact = with sounds. We have several outcomes for individual sounds and we have sta= rted to investigate time-varying urban soundscapes. The postdoc will be res= ponsible for measuring and modelling how people perceive urban sound scenes= , using quantitative and qualitative methods. The first task will be to bui= ld on a pilot soundscape experiment that we have run. The job would suit a researcher interested in seeing their soundscape resea= rch getting turned into useful tools with machine learning. We're looking f= or someone with a PhD in experimental psychology, psychoacoustics, audio pe= rception or a research topic with significant content directly relevant to = understanding perception. We'd expect experience in designing perceptual st= udies and in multidimensional statistical analysis. Experience with Matlab,= Python or R are desirable. The closing date for applications is 16 December and we expect to interview= on 7 January. (Interviews by Skype are fine.)
