Thomas Lunner From: AUDITORY - Research in Auditory Perception <AUDITORY@xxxxxxxx>= On Behalf Of Thomas Lunner Sent: Tuesday, September 29, 2020 10:10 AM To: AUDITORY@xxxxxxxx Subject: Research Intern, Hearing Science and Auditory Perception (PhD), Re= dmond (WA), USA Dear list, Please share this posing about interns at Facebook Reality Labs (FRL) Resea= rch. https://www.facebook.com/careers/jobs/356060852213631/ Research Intern, Hearing Science and Auditory Perception (PhD) The Facebook Reality Labs (FRL) Research Team brings together a world-class= team of researchers, developers, and engineers to create the future of vir= tual and augmented reality, which together will become as universal and ess= ential as smartphones and personal computers are today. And just as persona= l computers have done over the past 45 years, AR and VR will ultimately cha= nge everything about how we work, play, and connect. We are developing all = the technologies needed to enable breakthrough AR glasses and VR headsets, = including optics and displays, computer vision, audio, graphics, brain-comp= uter interface, haptic interaction, eye/hand/face/body tracking, perception= science, and true telepresence. Some of those will advance much faster tha= n others, but they all need to happen to enable AR and VR that are so compe= lling that they become an integral part of our lives. You can find out more= about us here: https://tech.fb.com/inside-facebook-reality-labs-research-t= he-future-of-audio/ We further believe that AR/VR will be the backbone of r= evolutionary new devices capable of hearing enhancement and correction for = those with difficulty understanding speech in noise. This internship is wel= l suited for someone with a strong interest in being a central part of a re= search group working towards advancing the state of the art in hearing corr= ection and enhancement technologies using AR/VR. In particular, we are look= ing for someone with the vision and creativity to see beyond what a traditi= onal hearing aid is capable of, and take full advantage of what AR/VR has t= o offer in terms of enabling and enhancing communication for both normal an= d hearing impaired listeners. The role requires a background in audiology, = hearing science, auditory physiology, neuroscience, or hearing aid / cochle= ar implant signal processing. The successful candidate will have strong ski= lls in clinical or research audiology, speech intelligibility assessment an= d modelling, speech enhancement, and/or machine learning with signal proces= sing. Our internships are sixteen (16) to twenty four (24) weeks long and w= e have various start dates throughout the year. ________________________________ Research Intern, Hearing Science and Auditory Perception (PhD) Responsibili= ties * Design and implementation of novel algorithms to solve hearing as= sistance problems * Collaboration with and support of other researchers across variou= s disciplines * Communication of research agenda, progress and full analyses of r= esults Minimum Qualifications * Currently has, or is in the process of obtaining, a PhD in the fi= eld of Hearing Science, Neuroscience, Signal Processing or similar or a rel= ated field * 2+ years of programming skill set in MATLAB, Python, C, or C++ * 2+ years of experience in statistics and/or machine learning * 2+ years of experience in binaural rendering, spatial hearing, or= signal processing * Interpersonal experience: cross-group and cross-culture collabora= tion * Must obtain work authorization in country of employment at the ti= me of hire, and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment Preferred Qualifications * Intent to return to degree-program after the completion of the in= ternship/co-op * Experience in human auditory spatial perception * Experience in real-time audio and audio algorithms development * Experience in one or more of the following: Audio, Augmented Real= ity, Virtual Reality * Proven track record of achieving significant results as demonstra= ted by grants, fellowships, patents, as well as first-authored publications= at relevant journals or conferences, e.g. IEEE International Conference on= Acoustics Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP), Association for Research = in Otolaryngology (ARO), NeurIPS, ICML, IEEE MLSP, Acoustical Society of Am= erica (ASA), and Audio Engineering Society (AES) Facebook's mission is to give people the power to build community and bring= the world closer together. Through our family of apps and services, we're = building a different kind of company that connects billions of people aroun= d the world, gives them ways to share what matters most to them, and helps = bring people closer together. Whether we're creating new products or helpin= g a small business expand its reach, people at Facebook are builders at hea= rt. Our global teams are constantly iterating, solving problems, and workin= g together to empower people around the world to build community and connec= t in meaningful ways. Together, we can help people build stronger communiti= es - we're just getting started.
