The Eriksholm Research Centre, situated in Snekkersten, Denmark, is seeking= to fill a vacant position of a Postdoctoral Research Fellow. Eriksholm Res= earch Centre is part of Oticon A/S, and situated in Snekkersten, Denmark. Learn more about Eriksholm Research Centre: www.eriksholm.com<http://www.er= iksholm.com/> The position is supported by a grant from the Swedish Research Council. It = is a full-time position (37 hours/week) available from 01.03.2019, or when = we have found the right candidate. The duration is initially 24 months with= a possibility for extension dependent on funding being secured. Salary wil= l be according to qualifications and experience. The main part of the research work will be carried out at the Eriksholm Res= earch Centre, Denmark. The position has strong collaboration links to Link= =F6ping University in Sweden, therefore, travel to Link=F6ping for research= purposes is expected. About the position We are seeking a Post Doc researcher who has a broad scientific competence = and an interest in applied research. The area of interest for the position = is that of electrophysiological measures of speaker segregation benefits in= relation to hearing impairment and hearing impairment compensation. Beyond the benefit in speech intelligibility, it has been established that = the use of effective hearing aid technology can ease the use of cognitive r= esources. Studies carried out by the group have shown that effective noise = reduction schemes have a positive impact in memory recall and redistributin= g the mobilization of listening effort as measured via pupillometry. However, there is a need for evidence on the impact of hearing aid processi= ng on the speaker segregation processes carried out by the brain under mult= iple speaker scenarios. Recent literature shows conflicting evidence that t= he brains of people with hearing impairment can effectively segregate a spe= ech stream of interest from competing streams. The objective for this project is to devise an electrophysiological test fr= amework, whereby, with the use of EEG, the cognitive benefits of idealized = hearing compensation schemes under noisy and multiple speaker scenarios cou= ld be measured. The project is envisaged to investigate whether certain ty= pes of signal processing can enhance neural speech tracking by the users=92= brains. The project includes studies on normal-hearing and hearing-impaired subject= s taken from the patient pool at the Eriksholm Clinic. Your background You hold a PhD degree (or equivalent research experience) in either auditor= y neuroscience, experimental psychology and audiology, cognitive science, p= hysics, electrical engineering, biomedical engineering, or a related discip= line, who have an excellent research and publication record. You have a strong interest in interdisciplinary and application-oriented wo= rk, familiarity with subjective listening experiments, as well as good Engl= ish language skills is required. Statistical analysis software, Audio Signa= l Processing and Electrophysiological signal processing skills are highly d= esired. Apart from initiating cutting-edge research leading to journal publ= ications, the experienced researcher is expected to be a part of the resear= ch group at Eriksholm and Oticon. Want to join the Eriksholm Research Centre? If this opportunity appeals to you, then submit your application as soon as= possible and no later than 1st of February 2019. Please be aware that we a= re holding interviews on a continuous basis, so do not hesitate submitting = your application. Please include the following documents: Letter of motivation; CV; a list pu= blications; copies of University diplomas and transcripts; 2 -3 references = (if possible =96 we will not contact them).
