1 PhD position at the Department of Information technology in Belgium | Ghent University

The positions are part of a 5-year project that takes an interdisciplinary approach (combining computational auditory models with EEG, psychoacoustics and machine-learning) to study sound processing in listeners with impaired hearing due to ageing or noise exposure. Both novel diagnostic methods as well as signal-processing strategies for hearing restoration are the focus. Focus on computational auditory modeling as well as optimizing physiological (multichannel) EEG and otoacoustic emission methods. Patient contact required.

Profile of the candidate

Candidates should have a strong auditory signal processing background with coding skills (Matlab, Python), and an interest in hearing-impaired sound encoding. English skills (written/oral) are required, as well as independence, creativity and the curiosity to change things for the better.
