Subject: [AUDITORY] PhD opportunity - Safe listening in music venues: scalable technologies for citizen science and knowledge building From: Graham Naylor <0000029322c5b32d-dmarc-request@xxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 29 Feb 2024 11:05:39 +0000 --_000_VI1PR06MB39677D4D4A0AF6BF59F72E98B45F2VI1PR06MB3967eurp_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Dear list, We are looking for smart and motivated candidates for a fully-funded PhD pr= oject, based in the University of Nottingham's Hearing Sciences department. Loud sound has the capacity to excite and injure in equal measure. There is= growing awareness of the need for the professional audio industry to take = a pro-active approach to protect audience members' hearing. This project aims to conduct ground-breaking research into how live sound c= an be made simultaneously safer and better quality, to the benefit of audie= nces in Nottingham and beyond. The PhD candidate will be involved in settin= g up long-term sound monitoring systems in local venues, developing a smart= phone app that will allow venue goers to contribute their experience of sou= nd quality and hearing symptoms for research, and using data science techni= ques to improve our understanding of how the details of the sound exposure = influence hearing-injury risk and perceived sound quality. The project will be supervised by Ian Wiggins and Graham Naylor at the Univ= ersity of Nottingham, and Adam Hill at the University of Derby. The student= ship will cover UK/Home tuition fees.
