The application deadline is December 10, 2024, at 11.59 PM/23.59 (CET/CEST)
About the position
One of the key research areas at the Acoustics Lab (CIE, SDU) is psychoacoustics, which focuses on how humans hear, interpret, and react to different sounds. To support this research, the lab is equipped with innovative technology for capturing and analyzing sound. Additionally, the lab develops custom equipment to measure and analyze the performance of speakers.
The research unit of the Acoustics Lab seeks a strong candidate with a robust translational and training profile, and a demonstrated track record of publications and interdisciplinary collaborations. The focus should be on the relationship between acoustics, sound perception and students' training on voice and body signals using different types of technology as well as advanced methods for teaching such concepts.
Technical expertise should include experience and knowledge in audiovisual prosody and multimodal communication, embodied cognition and acoustic signal processing. Moreover, the ability and experience to work effectively in a multidisciplinary team, collaborating with other researchers, students, and industry partners.
Research and teaching
The main tasks of the assistant professor are research and research-based teaching, including exams.
Job description
The key responsibility is to undertake cutting-edge research addressing questions within the areas of psychoacoustics and signal processing. The successful candidate will also develop a toolkit to enhance engineers' professional communication. The candidate must be able to demonstrate strong potential for obtaining independent funding or have a proven track record of securing such funding.
As an assistant professor, you will primarily work on furthering your own research, developing the scientific field, and activities in liaison with other colleagues at the SDU and with other companies in and around Sønderjylland.

Additionally, a strong candidate will be prepared to teach specialized professional and engineering communication genres, including written, oral, visual, and team communication. This includes not only writing but also developing and delivering compelling presentations, creating effective figures and tables, collaborating in teams and integrating multimodal elements. Experience teaching professional, technical, scientific, or engineering communications at the university level is required. Experience training graduate students would be advantageous, as this position may eventually involve creating new opportunities for the Master programs.
