Subject: [AUDITORY] PhD position machine learning and speech enhancement From: "Prof. Dr. Steven van de Par" <steven.van.de.par@xxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 12 Aug 2022 11:10:08 +0000--_000_93dc7e22639a44f18238e0e3de4c2878unioldenburgde_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable The Acoustics Division at the Department of Medical Physics and Acoustics, = University of Oldenburg, Germany, seeks as soon as possible a motivated PhD student (m/f/d, 75% of full time TV-L 13 position, 3 years) in the field of machine learning and speech enhancement The research focus of this project is developing methods for speaker separa= tion and enhancement in complex acoustical scenes using machine learning ap= proaches and techniques from the field of computational auditory scene anal= ysis. The project is funded by the DFG collaborative research centre CRC 1330 Hea= ring Acoustics. The CRC 1330 Hearing Acoustics aims for a better understand= ing of human acoustic communication and is a long-term collaboration of res= earchers from Oldenburg, Aachen and Munich. For more information about the = project see https://uol.de/en/sfb-1330-hearing-acoustics/section-b-algorith= ms/b2-auditory-scene-analysis. Applicants for the position must have a completed scientific university deg= ree (Master or Diploma (Uni)) in Hearing Technology & Audiology, Physics, E= ngineering or a related discipline. In addition, applicants should have sol= id knowledge in at least one of the following areas: * Speech and audio signal processing. * Machine learning techniques for audio processing. * Computational auditory scene analysis. Candidates are expected to publish in peer reviewed international journals = and to have an interest in interdisciplinary work. In addition, candidates = are expected to have experience with scientific tools and programming langu= ages such as MATLAB, and to be proficient in English both in spoken word an= d in writing. The University of Oldenburg is dedicated to increase the percentage of fema= le employees in the field of science. Therefore, female candidates are stro= ngly encouraged to apply. In accordance to =A7 21 Section 3 NHG, female can= didates with equal qualifications will be preferentially considered. Applic= ants with disabilities will be given preference in case of equal qualificat= ion. Applications including a CV, a motivation letter, copies of the most import= ant certificates and the name and contact details of at least one person wh= o is willing to give a reference should be sent as a single pdf-file to ste= ven.van.de.par@xxxxxxxx<mailto:steven.van.de.par@xxxxxxxx> = or to Prof. Dr. Ir. Steven van de Par Acoustics Department of Medical Physics and Acoustics Universit=E4t Oldenburg 26111 Oldenburg Tel. (+49) 441 798 3450 Applications per email are preferred. The application deadline is September= 4th, 2022.
