Subject: positions in speech and hearing sciences at Oldenburg University, From: Volker Hohmann <volker.hohmann(at)UNI-OLDENBURG.DE> Date: Tue, 28 Jun 2005 09:31:34 +0200Dear list members, several open positions in speech and hearing sciences are available at Oldenburg University, Germany, within the framework of the collaborative research center "The Active Auditory System". Positions can be funded for up to 4 years. Please see the full announcement below and find further information at http://www.uni-oldenburg.de/sfb-tr31 (under construction!). Best regards, V. Hohmann ********************************************************* The transregional collaborative research center "The Active Auditory System", jointly operated by research groups at the University of Oldenburg, University of Magdeburg, and the Leibniz Institute for Neurobiology at Magdeburg, studies the mechanisms of auditory scene analysis and their application to health and technology. Important issues are the interaction of bottom-up and top-down processes in auditory scene analysis and multimodal integration. The approaches include in vivo recording in the auditory pathway, EEG, MEG, and fMRI analysis, psychoacoustic modeling, and applications in speech and audio analysis and coding. For further information see http://www.uni-oldenburg.de/sfb-tr31. We are seeking applicants for the following positions at the University of Oldenburg: PhD Student (BAT IIa/2, Code A1) Responsibilities: studying auditory processing in rodents using behavioral methods. Qualifications: Masters or Diploma thesis specializing in the fields of sensory biology, neurobiology, psychophysics or animal behavior. Neuroscientist (BAT IIa, Code A5) Responsibilities: in vivo recording from the bird auditory system and data analysis. Qualifications: Doctoral Degree, experience with extracellular recording and Matlab. Physicist (BAT IIa or BAT IIa/2, Code B1) Responsibilities: carrying out psychoacoustic/EEG measurements and the development of auditory perception models for hearing impaired listeners. Qualifications: MSc, Diploma degree, or PhD preferably with specialization in Psychoacoustics or Audiology. Physicist (BAT IIa or BAT IIa/2, Code B2) Responsibilities: development and application of statistical classification frameworks for modeling Auditory Scene Analysis. Qualifications: MSc, Diploma degree, or PhD with specialization in statistical signal processing or related, and preferably with knowledge in Psychoacoustics or Audiology. Physicist (BAT IIa or BAT IIa/2, Code B3) Responsibilities: studying auditory object binding mechanisms in humans using psychoacoustical experiments and the development of auditory models.
