Research Fellow: Listener Experience of Spatial Audio
School of Computing
University of Salford -Science and Engineering
WCN ref: 1379819
Permanent or length of contract: 24 Months
Part time/full time: Full Time
Salary range: £30,424 - £36,298
Duration: Fixed term of 2 years, with the possibility to extend beyond the 2 years.
The Acoustics Research Centre at the University of Salford is looking to employ a postdoctoral research fellow to work on an EPSRC funded programme grant on spatial audio. 3D sound can offer listeners the experience of "being there" at a live event, such as the Proms, but currently requires highly controlled listening spaces and loudspeaker setups. The goal of the programme grant is to realise practical 3D audio for the general public at home. The project is a collaboration with the Universities of Surrey and Southampton, and the BBC.
Your main role will be to lead the work carried out at Salford on quality of experience for listeners. You will develop an understanding of how spatial audio is perceived in places where the general public consume content. Your work will focus on imperfect spatial audio set-ups, for instance carrying out perceptual tests to determine when spatial auditory illusions created for TV, film, radio and games break down.
We expect candidates to have a Ph.D. in experimental psychology, multimedia perception, audio quality in telecommunications or another relevant field. You should have experience of carrying out perceptual measurements and statistical analysis, and knowledge of sensory perception.
There will be other research fellow positions advertised on this programme grant at Salford, Surrey and Southampton Universities.
The University values diversity and is committed to equality of opportunity.
