Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Assistant to investigate the development and application of non-speech, non-music acoustic analysis for sound archives. 

An increasing amount of audio and audiovisual material is becoming available in digitized archives.

The purpose of this post is to investigate and develop tools to help people to find material in these archives in interesting and useful ways. 

This post is part of the multi-person project EPSRC project "Machine Listening using Sparse Representations", based in the Centre for Digital Music (C4DM) at Queen Mary University of London.

The post is full time for 14 months starting from 1 February 2013. Starting salary will be in the range GBP 35,824 - GBP 39,936 per annum inclusive of London Allowance. Benefits include 30 days annual leave, defined benefit pension scheme and interest-free season ticket loan.

Candidates must be able to demonstrate their eligibility to work in the UK in accordance with the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006. Where required this may include entry clearance or continued leave to remain under the Points Based Immigration Scheme.
