Stellenticket Technische Universität Dresden

The Chair of Electronic Systems of Medical Engineering develops machine learning and signal processing methods for human-centered applications. Our work lies at the intersection of machine learning, statistics and neuroscience and focuses on speech and language processing in multi-modal settings.

Applications include, for instance, speech recognition for medical purposes, and machine learning methods for modeling human speech perception and for developing multimodal hearing support. We are looking for a scientific staff member for a three-year fully funded position in this area, in close collaboration with the Ben Gurion University, for a current research project with DFG funding. The successful candidate will design and scientifically evaluate generative and discriminative models for multi-channel audio-visual speech enhancement. The position is suitable for obtaining a PhD in electrical engineering or computer science.

We offer an inspiring, international, and interdisciplinary working environment at a young research institute in the heart of Berlin.

• Successfully completed university degree (Master, Diplom or equivalent) in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or Electrical Engineering or a related field with outstanding results
• Excellent programming skills in Python, Java, or C/C++
• Demonstrated experience in machine learning for speech and video signals
• Good knowledge of German and/or English required; willingness to acquire the respective missing language skills
• Knowledge in several of the following areas:
• Generative models for speech and audio signals
• Signal processing for multi-channel audio data
• Fundamentals of auditory science and neurophysiology

We are looking for highly motivated, curious, and enthusiastic researchers with excellent academic achievements and a strong interest in the development of neurobiologically inspired machine learning methods for multi-modal hearing support.
