Subject: [AUDITORY] Job Vacancies: 3 x Researchers in AI for Sound From: Mark Plumbley <0000005fa4625f04-dmarc-request@xxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2020 18:19:04 +0000Dear Auditory List, We are recruiting for three researchers in a new project on AI for Sound. P= lease forward the information below to any colleagues who may be interested= . I would particularly like to encourage applications from women, disabled an= d Black, Asian & Minority Ethnic candidates, since these groups are current= ly underrepresented in our area. Many thanks, Mark ------ Job Vacancies: Three Researchers in AI for Sound Location: University of Surrey, Guildford, UK Deadline: Friday 17 July 2020 (23:00 GMT) Applications are invited for three new researchers (two Research Fellows an= d one Research Engineer) to work full-time on an EPSRC-funded Fellowship pr= oject "AI for Sound": https://www.surrey.ac.uk/news/fellowship-advance-soun= d-new-frontiers-using-ai * Research Fellow in Machine Learning for Sound https://jobs.surrey.ac.uk/= 025620=20 * Research Fellow in Design Research for Sound Sensing https://jobs.surrey= .ac.uk/025420=20 * Research Engineer (Research Fellow) in Sound Sensing https://jobs.surrey= .ac.uk/025520=20 The aim of the project is to undertake research in computational analysis o= f everyday sounds, in the context of a set of real-world use cases in assis= ted living in the home, smart buildings, smart cities, and the creative sec= tor. The idea is to bring "AI for Sound" technology out of the lab, helping= to realize its potential to benefit society and the economy. The Research Fellow in Machine Learning for Sound will investigate advanced= machine learning methods applied to sound signals. The Research Fellow in = Design Research for Sound Sensing will conduct user requirements and evalua= tion studies to drive the technology research and to ensure successful deve= lopment and application of the project technology. The Research Engineer wi= ll be responsible for designing and building the hardware and software to b= e developed in the fellowship. The post-holders will be based in the Centre for Vision, Speech and Signal = Processing (CVSSP) at the University of Surrey, and work under the directio= n of PI (EPSRC Fellow) Prof Mark Plumbley. CVSSP is an International Centre of Excellence for research in Audio-Visual= Machine Perception, with 125 researchers, a grant portfolio of =A324M (=A3= 17.5M EPSRC) from EPSRC, EU, InnovateUK, charity and industry, and a turnov= er of =A37M/annum. The Centre has state-of-the-art acoustic capture and ana= lysis facilities and a Visual Media Lab with video and audio capture facili= ties supporting research in real-time video and audio processing and visual= isation. CVSSP has a compute facility with 120 GPUs for deep learning and >= 1PB of high-speed secure storage.
