You will work assisting research on two major projects within the Acoustics Research Centre (i) S3A: Future Spatial Audio for an Immersive Listener Experience at Home, and (ii) Making Sense of Sounds.

The goal of S3A is to realize practical 3D audio for the general public to enable quality spatial audio experiences at home or on the move. The project involves three Universities (Surrey, Salford and Southampton) with BBC R&D as a project partner. Making Sense of Sounds is trying to convert audio recordings into understandable and actionable information by computer: specifically how to allow people to search, browse and interact with sounds. The project is a collaboration with Surrey University.

Central to both the projects, is a need to understand how humans respond to a wide variety of sounds. We are seeking a technician to carry out the testing of human response to sounds. You will work under the guidance of academics and research fellows from both projects. You should have experience of carrying out perceptual experiments.

At the University of Salford we are committed to an inclusive approach to promoting equality and diversity. We are committed to being an inclusive employer and are working to redress the gender balance in Science, Technology, Engineering & Medicine.

Duration of contract: 2 Years

Please note this role will close at 11:59pm on the closing date.
