The position provides opportunity to=20 prepare a Ph.D. with primary supervision by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Gerald=20 Enzner. With additional third-party funding and adequate contributions=20 by theresearch associate, this position in School VI for Medicine and=20 Health Sciences can be expanded into 100% E13 TV-L compensation. The new group for Speech Technology and Hearing Aids delivers research=20 and education for better speech reception in adverse acoustic=20 conditions. *Your field of research* consists in the optimization of=20 speech and audio communication for hybrid video conferences with local=20 group and single remote participants in one and the same meeting. This=20 configuration currently proves considerable technical difficulties and=20 therefore challenges the research. The hybird conference bears huge=20 potential for future work organization with flexible office. The=20 challenges for speech processing then include the consistent fusion of=20 speech on a local acoustic sensor network, the acoustic echo=20 cancellation of the far-end speaker at the local end, and the spatial=20 sound production for the remote participant. The research will rely on *methods from digital signal processing and=20 machine learning* to solve the respective optimization problems,=20 specifically the theoretical derivation of optimum filters, the=20 implementation with modern software tools, and the experimental=20 evaluation and scientific documentation in top-ranked conferences and=20 journals. The latter as well is the baseline for scientific graduation=20 in the Ph.D. program at Carl von Ossietzky University.
