JOB DESCRIPTION
One or more fully funded PhD stipends are available in the Centre for Acoustic Signal Processing Research (CASPR). CASPR is anchored in the Section for Artificial Intelligence and Sound (AIS), Department of Electronic Systems, Aalborg University, Denmark.
CASPR performs research and education in advanced signal processing for hearing assistive devices including hearing aids, headphones, and headsets. http://caspr.es.aau.dk
The potential topics of the PhD stipends are:
- Self supervised learning for signal processing in hearing assistive devices such as speech enhancement, acoustic scene analysis, etc.
- Energy reduced DNNs using Bayesian learning and approximate computing such as finite precision arithmetic, deterministic and stochastic computing, etc.
- Multimodal signal processing for hearing assistive devices such as users EEG, eye-gaze as well as audio-visual inputs, etc.
- Advanced speech enhancement including voice conversion, person conditioned DNN, binaural enhancement, etc.
When applying for the position you need to indicate your first and second priority of research topics from the above list.
We are looking for highly motivated, independent, and outstanding students that desire to do a successful 3-year PhD programme at Aalborg University. The ideal candidate will have a M.Sc. degree in statistical signal processing, audio processing, auditory perception, machine learning, or information theory. Good English verbal and written skills are a must, and excellent undergraduate and graduate grades are desired.
Concerning the scientific aspects of the stipend, you may obtain further information from: Professor Jan Østergaard; jo@es.aau.dk; Professor Zheng-Hua Tan; zt@es.aau.dk; or Professor Jesper Jensen; jje@es.aau.dk.
PhD stipends are allocated to individuals who hold a Master's degree. PhD stipends are normally for a period of 3 years. It is a prerequisite for allocation of the stipend that the candidate will be enrolled as a PhD student at the Technical Doctoral School of IT and Design in accordance with the regulations of Ministerial Order No. 1039 of August 27, 2013 on the PhD Programme at the Universities and Certain Higher Artistic Educational Institutions. According to the Ministerial Order, the progress of the PhD student shall be assessed at regular points in time.
Shortlisting will be applied. This means that subsequent to the deadline for applications the head of department supported by the chair of the assessment committee will select candidates for assessment. All applicants will be informed whether they will be assessed or not.
For further information about stipends and salary as well as practical issues concerning the application procedure contact Ms. Lisbeth Diinhoff , The Doctoral School at The Technical Faculty of IT and Design, email: ld@adm.aau.dk , phone: +45 9940 9589.
