Job Offer: PhD Studentship: Audio/acoustics Machine Learning:Job description:Qualification Type: PhD About the Project This is an exciting opportunity for a budding researcher to fulfil their potential at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Audio/acoustics, an area of machine learning called Machine Listening. The PhD project brings together world-leading audio experts to develop state-of-the-art techniques as a widely-applicable embedding of acoustic environments. located in Guildford, the project forms a collaboration between AudioLabs, Fraunhofer IIS (Erlangen, Germany) and CVSSP at the University of Surrey. It builds on work by the co-investigators into virtual acoustics, spatial audio rendering, optimisation of acoustical systems, training of deep neural networks and exploration of object-located audio for making translatable immersive practices. As such, the research is expected to include a mixture of practical and computational experiments, located at the university. The prosperous candidate will have the chance to spend time in the labs at Fraunhofer, interacting with colleagues there and exchanging expertise. We would welcome an outstanding student from any background to join our inclusive world-renowned research centre at the start of a new partnership to take advantage of this vibrant collaborative academic environment. managers: Professor Philip Jackson Entry requirements Open to any UK or international candidates. Up to 30% of our UKRI funded studentships can be awarded to candidates paying international rate fees. Find out more about eligibility. Starting in October 2024. You will need to meet the minimum entry requirements for our PhD programme. You will have a strong interest in audio and machine learning, and demonstrate a high level of academic achievement in significant subject areas and a clear aptitude for scientific, engineering research. We will need to be convinced that you have the necessary background expertise and research expertise to begin your doctoral training. You will have a 1st or 2:1 BSc/BEng degree (or equivalent) and either an MSc/MEng in a significant engineering or scientific discipline or equivalent specialist practice. You will be able to demonstrate excellent mathematical, analytical and computer programming expertise. Advantage will be given to candidates with practice in one or more of the following: machine listening, deep learning, acoustics, signal processing, computer vision, spatial audio, NLP, statistical analysis, software development, academic writing. You will have advanced research expertise, evidenced by a significant Bachelors/Masters project, for example, involving experimental research, appropriate use of the literature, computer-located simulations and a formal dissertation-style report. How to apply Applications should be submitted via the Vision, Speech and Signal Processing PhD programme page. In place of a research proposal, you should upload a document stating the title of the project that you wish to apply for and the name of the significant manager.
