Salam,

Condro

-----


The positions are part of the ERC project RobSpear "Robust Speech
Encoding in Impaired Hearing" that takes an interdisciplinary approach
(combining computational auditory models with EEG, psychoacoustics and
machine-learning) to study sound processing in listeners with impaired
hearing due to ageing or noise exposure. Both novel diagnostic methods
as well as signal-processing strategies for hearing restoration are the
focus of this project. Patient contact is required. Funding is available
for three years and projects start in the fall of 2016.

The Physiology and Modeling of Auditory Perception Group headed by Prof.
Dr. Sarah Verhulst at Oldenburg University (DE) offers an international
scientific environment as well as access to world-class research
facilities via hearing4all.eu  For more information about the group see
<http://www.uni-oldenburg.de/pmoap>www.uni-oldenburg.de/pmoap.

Applicants for the position must hold an academic university degree
(master or equivalent). Candidates should have excellent oral and
written English skills, experience with signal processing and coding
(Matlab, Phython).

Project 1: Model-based hearing diagnostics

The focus is on computational auditory modeling as well as optimizing
(multichannel) EEG and otoacoustic emission methods. Background is a
M.Sc. in neuroscience, or acoustics, physics, electrical engineering,
experimental psychology. Experience with EEG recording (writing
experiment code and analysis) is necessary. Auditory modeling experience
is a plus.

Project 2: Psychoacoustic sound encoding strategies

Experience with conducting psychoacoustic experiments is necessary
(writing experiment code and analysis). Background is a M.Sc. in
neuroscience, or acoustics, physics, electrical engineering,
experimental psychology, audiology.
