Subject: [AUDITORY] Research Associate in Immersive Audio - Imperial College London From: "Picinali, Lorenzo" <l.picinali@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 8 Feb 2022 10:52:01 +0000--_000_DB9PR06MB81082C7B648039CD6922A44ABA2D9DB9PR06MB8108eurp_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Dear Colleagues, we are looking for one or more Research Associates (RA) in Spatial Acoustic= s and Immersive Audio to join the Audio Experience Design (https://www.axde= sign.co.uk) team here at Imperial College London. There are several project= s in which the successful candidate will/might be involved, and the choice = will depend on the candidate=92s skills, areas of expertise and attitude. 1. The first one is SONICOM (https://www.sonicom.eu/), where the RA will= lead the design and development of immersive audio (mainly binaural) tools= and experiments and, if applicable (depending on the candidate=92s experti= se), also the integration of AI methods and techniques. Furthermore, she/he= will be expected to actively collaborate with other academic and industry = partners within the SONICOM consortium. 2. The second project is BEARS (https://www.guysandstthomasbrc.nihr.ac.u= k/microsites/bears/), where the RA will be involved in the design and imple= mentation of VR-based hearing training tools (spatial hearing, speech and m= usic), as well as in the evaluation of such tools (e.g. design of experimen= ts to assess the perceptual training obtained after extensive use of such t= ools) with bilateral cochlear implant users. 3. The third project focuses on the development of novel methods and pro= cedures for assessing spatial hearing performances, involving behaviour, el= ectroencephalography (EEG), and pupillometry. You can find more details about the requirements and conditions, as well as= information about how to apply, at this link - https://www.imperial.ac.uk/= jobs/description/ENG02036/research-associate-immersive-audio. Please feel free to circulate to students/colleagues!
