Job description

Join a dynamic team of researchers exploring audio for extended reality technologies and the exciting impact it can have on our world. Three PhD studentships, starting September 2023, based at the University of York covering home fees and a stipend for 3.5 years

SIM is an exciting opportunity to study in a collegiate research environment with world-leading academics, companies and third sector organisations conducting challenge-led research around sound related metaverse technologies. We are looking for a diverse group of motivated candidates interested in building cross-disciplinary skills and expertise linking levels of research across technical development and testing, content design, user experience, and evaluation of broader impact on society.

The metaverse has been heralded as the third wave of media convergence, and where the real and virtual, physical and digital meet. Now a household term, it encompasses all aspects of extended reality (XR) and supporting technologies (e.g. 5G, AI and Machine Learning). Alongside entertainment, the metaverse is set to significantly impact global industries including healthcare, education and telecommunications.

It encompasses a breadth of topics rooted in audio engineering, communications, computer science, gaming, music, arts, education, psychology, linguistics and health sciences.

Through this interdisciplinary programme we will train the next generation of researchers and industry professionals able to make a difference in the metaverse space. The cohort training programme will be designed to up-skill individuals with necessary expertise to conduct cutting edge interdisciplinary research that combines methodologies and approaches from multiple fields including, but not limited to, audio engineering, programming for XRtechnologies, perceptual testing, empirical paradigms for audio research, qualitative and quantitative data analysis etc…

The training programme has significant industry support, with partners including Sonical, Sony Interactive, BBC and many others. Each PhD project is supported by two academic supervisors based at the University of York and an industry partner who will provide support through additional supervision and facilities, with the possibilities of hosted internships within the lifetime of the project.

Why apply to SIM?

The University of York is committed to conducting research that positively impacts people’s lives, and providing equality of opportunity. York is currently holder of the Athena Swan Bronze Award for gender equality in higher education.

The SIM cohort of five PhD students in 2023, growing to eleven in 2024, will receive training in research methods, recording techniques for XR, immersive audio systems, AI and responsible innovation and co-design. You will also develop a personal training plan with your supervisors and industry partner accessing existing taught modules across the University. There will be opportunities to work directly with industry and third sector organisations through placements, research exchanges and knowledge exchange events.
