Subject: [AUDITORY] Looking for a Research Associate in Virtual Reality and Auralisation From: "Picinali, Lorenzo" <l.picinali@xxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 30 May 2019 19:34:15 +0000 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--_000_PR1PR06MB57881763B331547873366E01BA180PR1PR06MB5788eurp_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Dear Colleagues, Apologies for cross-posting. At the Dyson School of Design Engineering (Imperial College London), we are= currently looking for a Research Associate in Virtual Reality and Auralisa= tion to work on the project Speech Perception and Listening Effort in Simul= ated Realistic Audio-visual Environments. The goal of the project is to develop a simulated audio-visual environment = that facilitates assessment of speech perception and listening effort in re= alistic conditions for hearing-impaired listeners, and to use it for explor= ing important issues concerning the relationships between different measure= s of listening effort and traditional speech perception tests. The successful candidate will lead the design and development of the VR-bas= ed audio-visual environments and application. This is going to be based on = a head-mounted display system (e.g. Samsung GearVR, HTC Vive, etc.), and is= going to include advanced 3D audio features (https://github.com/3DTune-In/= 3dti_AudioToolkit/), and an infra-red eye tracking system. This project is in collaboration with University College London (UCL) and t= he University of Cambridge, and is funded by the William Demant Foundation. Essential requirements Candidates must have knowledge of programming for Virtual Reality, ideally = in Unity, but other similar development platforms might also be considered.= Experience with integrating hardware and software components and interface= s (e.g. eye tracker, game controllers, tracking systems) is also essential.= A PhD in areas related with computing, hearing sciences, digital signal pr= ocessing, music technology and/or acoustics is preferable. More information about the post and the application process can be found he= re: https://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/BSO774/research-associate-in-virtual-reality-and= -auralisation For any question, please do not hesitate to contact me (l.picinali@xxxxxxxx= .ac.uk) - more information about the work we do here in the areas of acoust= ics, 3D audio, audiology and hearing science can be found in my research pa= ge at https://www.imperial.ac.uk/people/l.picinali/research.html.
