Hello,

sorry for off-topics, but maybe somebody interrested in.

Kategorie: Jobs Titel: PhD fellowship in Spatial Audio and Signal Processing Verfasser: Brigitte Bergner (IEM) Contact: office _at_ iem.at _______________________________________________________________________

The Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics group of University of Music and Dramatic Arts Graz, Austria invites applications from outstanding investigators for a PhD student fellowship to contribute and take part of the Advanced Audio Processing Project. This project is founded by the “Österreichische Forschungsförderungsgesellschaft (FFG). Advanced Audio Processing (AAP) is a consortium built on three internationally successful audio research groups at Graz University of Technology (TUG), University of Music and Dramatic Arts Graz (KUG) and Joanneum Research (JR), and three internationally active and successful Austrian companies (AKG Acoustics, Atronic Austria and Philips Speech Processing). The scientific partners are considered as the most important Austrian research groups in the field of advanced audio processing. They have many years of experience and will now bring together their competencies to build an “audio processing expertise center” in Graz. The industry partners of the consortium are among the most important companies in Austria that implement top-level audio expertise within their products.

We are looking for post-graduates who have already profound knowledge in digital signal processing. The applicant will operate within the field of spatial audio processing and perceptual audio evaluation. Therefore besides comprehensively programming skills in MATLAB, C and Pure Data (PD) knowledge within psycho acoustics is necessary, too. Further required abilities should comprise experience with experimental design, self management, ability to work in a team, and the proof of scientific paper writing.

CV and publication:

Applicants should provide a CV with relevant publications to 'gerhard.eckel@kug.ac.at" target="_blank" target="_blank’ before 12th of December 2008. Decision will be taken on the 19th of December. The annual salary for the proposed fellowship amounts to 33 600 EUR (gross income). The proposed position within this AAP project is planed for a period of 2 years.

Profile:

Candidates with a diploma degree in signal processing and experience in spatial audio and psycho acoustics (if possible, also with knowledge in experimental set-up design for perceptual audio evaluation) are searched for.
