Apply via Industrial PhD Fellowship - audio signal processing & machine lea= rning for hearing assistive devices (oticon.global)<https://www.oticon.glob= al/about/jobs/careers/open-positions/job-details2?id=3D28261> Research position at Oticon, Denmark An industrial PhD position is offered by Oticon A/S and Dept. Electronic Sy= stems, Aalborg University under the supervision of Dr. Meng Guo (Oticon), P= rof. Jesper Jensen (Oticon/Aalborg University), and Prof. Zheng-Hua Tan (Aa= lborg University). An Industrial PhD project is an industrial-oriented research project carrie= d out in collaboration between a private company in Denmark, an industrial = PhD student, and a university. The research will be executed mainly at Oticon - a world-leading hearing ai= d manufacturer, and partly at Aalborg University - one of Europe's top univ= ersities. Some traveling activities should be expected between these two si= tes. A fully-funded 3-year research position in the frame of a 3-year docto= ral program (resulting in a PhD degree awarded by Aalborg University) is of= fered.The topic of the PhD project is: "Novel Feedback Prevention for Heari= ng Assistive Devices". The project Main functionalities in modern hearing devices include hearing loss compens= ation (known as compression), beamforming (microphone array processing), an= d noise reduction which serve the goal of improving speech intelligibility = and reduce listening effort. However, the large amplification needed in hea= ring devices, and the fact that microphone(s) and loudspeaker are typically= placed within a few centimeters from each other, create the perfect condit= ions for the highly undesirable phenomenon called acoustic feedback. The project focuses on solutions of the acoustic feedback problem using mac= hine learning (ML) techniques to obtain novel feedback solutions which can = better handle critical feedback situations and hence ensure that an optimal= hearing loss compensation can always be provided to the users. The ideal profile You hold a master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or = Engineering Acoustics (or equivalent). Candidates who are in the final phas= e of their master's program are equally encouraged to apply and should ment= ion their expected graduation date. This industrial PhD position is subject to academic approval. Please send a= n email to megu@xxxxxxxx if you would like to know more about the academi= c details. More than that, you should: * Have a solid mathematical background (e.g., in matrix algebra, stocha= stic processes, etc.), * Have taken specialized courses in at least one of the following disci= plines: Digital signal processing, audio signal processing, machine learnin= g, and control theory. * Have experience with scientific computing in Matlab, Python, or simil= ar. * Have excellent proficiency in the English language, as well as good c= ommunication skills, both oral and written. In addition to the above, knowledge within one or more of the following are= as will be a plus: Feedback cancellation, echo cancellation, and active noi= se cancellation. As a person, you work well individually and like in-depth technical underst= andings and challenges. You are systematic, structured, and analytical. You= are open-minded, self-driven and comfortable with seeking the optimal solu= tion through a constructive dialogue with others. Why join us? We offer: * An exciting international research environment. * A thorough scientific education in the frame of a doctoral training p= rogram. * The possibility to participate in local as well as international cour= ses, workshops, and conferences. * A PhD title from Aalborg University - one of Europe's top universitie= s (after 3 years of successful research). Interested? Then please send us: 1. Your motivation letter with a statement of skills and research intere= sts (max 1 page) 2. Academic CV, including transcripts, and possibly TOEFL/IELTS results 3. Relevant diplomas (bachelor's and master's degree) 4. Names and contact information of 1-2 references As we are screening applications on an ongoing basis, please send your appl= ication as soon as possible - and no later than October 14, 2022. Please no= te, that we only accept applications through our online recruitment system.= If you would like to know more about the position, you are welcome to cont= act Dr. Meng Guo at megu@xxxxxxxx Niels H.
