for the initial duration of 2 years, with a salary according to the E14 TV-L scale. After 2 years, a long-term appointment is possible.

We are seeking candidates with a PhD (or equivalent) degree in electrical engineering, computer science or physics, who have an excellent research and publication record in the field of acoustics, signal processing, speech processing and/or auditory perception. A strong interest in interdisciplinary and application-oriented work, familiarity with scientific tools and programming languages such as MATLAB and C, as well as good English language skills are required.

The successful applicant will join a newly established research group, whose activities center around signal processing for acoustical applications. More specifically, exciting research topics in the areas of microphone array processing for speech enhancement and source localisation, active noise control, acoustic sensor networks and hearing aid processing are addressed. The Signal Processing group has close collaborations with the Medical Physics group, the Centre for Hearing Research and the Fraunhofer group for Hearing, Speech and Audio Technology.

Apart from conducting cutting-edge research that leads to journal publications, the postdoctoral researcher is expected to be involved on a limited scale into teaching activities and supervision of Master and PhD students.

The University of Oldenburg is an equal opportunities employer and explicitly supports applications from female researchers. Handicapped applicants will be given preference in case of equal qualifications.
