Ambitious Senior Researcher for the Centre for Applied Audiology Research

Are you looking for high-level challenges within audiology research, enabling you to make a real difference in people’s lives? Can you imagine yourself in the unique challenge of being a leading person in an ambitious team that builds the evidence-base of Oticon Audiology and representing us at audiology events? Moreover, at the same time driving research you are passionate about? Then come join us for an exciting career opportunity at Oticon– a company truly known for our commitment to audiology.

You will be working in our Danish headquarter located on the outskirts of Copenhagen, Denmark. We are located in a large, modern building with all the facilities required by today’s employees: Fitness center, an awarded canteen, leisure clubs and an informal work environment. The building is located on the top of a hill, in close proximity to the S-train. About 1000 people are working from the headquarters.

Define future hearing solutions and move the limits of what hearing technology can do
If you understand the needs and desires of people with hearing impairment, this job offers a chance to influence and change hearing care to optimize treatment strategies.

In your new job, you will be part of the Centre for Applied Audiology Research, which consists of eight researchers and two student research assistants. We do research and communication related to hearing technology and hearing aid benefits. These benefits are documented through scientific publications, technical documentations provided by internal collaborators or through clinical research with independent research partners. The group sets a direction for R&D audiology and acts as the interface between audiology and the commercial organization.

You will be responsible for defining requirements for new functionality, and ensuring clinical evidence is in place on time for product launches. You will use this evidence to build audiological communication that is in line with our strategy and vision and communicate to a wide range of professionals in the field of audiology.

You will be working closely together with engineers, audiologists, sales and marketing people, customers and last but not least external researchers. You will stay up-to-date on the latest research in a broad audiology field, use that to define new solutions and initiate and conduct research with innovative researchers from all over the world in the field to develop knowledge on hearing aid use and benefits.

Senior researcher with great communication skills
To handle your future challenges, we expect you to hold a PhD in Audiology or related field and have at least 4 years of post-doctoral research experience. Furthermore, you possess knowledge within areas such as amplification, acoustics, signal processing, hearing devices and transducers, audiology and evidence-based practice. Research experience within cognitive neuroscience or cognitive hearing science will be a major advantage.

Communication is an important part of this job - written, oral, on-site and off-site, which requires an efficient communicator, who is able to target a given audience, view the same issue from different perspectives and use this to obtain the right solution. Consequently, you must have great interpersonal skills. Your collaboration partners and colleagues see you as open and inquiring in your contact and communication. You are able to discuss specific challenges of clinical practice with a colleague one day and be deeply involved in designing an experiment on a new technology another day. And you enjoy both situations!

Speaking and writing in English to many different audiences comes natural to you. You furthermore have to expect 20-40 travel days a year. Travel varies greatly, depending on research activities and a number of different types of audiology conferences.

As a growing business, deeply rooted in science, there will be ample challenges for the right applicant. Whether this is your first senior researcher position or whether you are looking for new challenges of a more tactical or strategic nature or if you are looking to build a research group in industry, we have a very interesting job opening for you.
