**Our Profile**:
The _Chair and Institute for Hearing Technology and Acoustics_ at RWTH Aachen University examines sound processing techniques in the human hearing system.

The goal of the Chair for Hearing Technology and Acoustics is to expand interdisciplinary research in the field of perception and processing of sound in complex acoustic environments. Listeners range from children to the elderly, with and without hearing or auditory processing disorders. The research topics are directly related to communication as well as social and cognitive behavior and are therefore an important part of our daily lives.

Beside other fields of research, the institute focuses on the generation, propagation and mitigation of sound. In this context, measurement techniques and simulation technologies are developed to explore the physics of complex acoustic scenarios, but also for computer-aided generation of acoustic scenarios using acoustic virtual reality. Acoustic phenomena and processes are of interest when applied to machines and technical processes. Finally, human perception is the central issue. This is of particular interest for research questions concerning the effect of noise.

We offer you the opportunity to work in a dynamic, highly interdisciplinary team with extensive technical equipment and advanced training in cutting-edge methods of hearing research and acoustics.

**Your Profile**:

- Above-average university degree (master's degree or comparable) in electrical engineering, physics, or another relevant field and fulfillment of the requirements for admission to a doctoral program
- Experience with (acoustic) signal processing
- Good knowledge in one or more of the following areas: acoustic measurement techniques, psychoacoustics, spatial audio, virtual acoustics, virtual reality, statistics
- Good programming skills in Matlab, preferably also in Python and in C++
- Excellent communication skills in English (teaching, publications)
- Basic communication skills in German (e.g., for organisation of listening experiments) and, if required, willingness to learn the language (university courses are available)
- Interest in fundamental research in the field of acoustic simulation, auralization and perceptual evaluation
- Willingness to contribute to and take responsibility for teaching activities
- Flexibility and ability to work in an interdisciplinary team

**Your Duties and Responsibilities**:

- Research and development in the research areas of generation, propagation and mitigation of unwanted sound (noise) and psychoacoustics.
- Research and development of measurement techniques and simulation technologies (acoustic virtual reality).
- Planning, design, implementation and evaluation of experiments with audio(-visual) virtual reality in various scenarios with noise.
- Publications of scientific papers in peer-reviewed journals and at scientific meetings.
- Assisting with courses in the Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programs (lab courses, seminars, exercises, projects, exam preparation, supervision and follow-up, (co-)supervision of students’ final theses).

**What We Offer**:
The position is to be filled at the earliest possible date and offered for a fixed term initial period of 1 year.
It is intended to extend the contract initial contract period by two years. The option to extend the contract for two further years is available.
The fixed-term employment is possible as it constitutes one of the fixed-term options of the Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz (German Act on Fixed-term Scientific Contracts).
This is a full-time position.
The salary is based on the German public service salary scale (TV-L).
The position corresponds to a pay grade of EG 13 TV-L.

**About us**:
RWTH is a certified family-friendly University. We support our employees in maintaining a good work-life balance with a wide range of health, advising, and prevention services, for example university sports. Employees who are covered by collective bargaining agreements and civil servants have access to an extensive range of further training courses and the opportunity to purchase a job ticket.
