Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg

The Friedrich-Alexander-University of Erlangen-Nürnberg and the
Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft with its Institute for Integrated Circuits
jointly operate the 'International Audio Laboratories Erlangen', which
conduct both fundamental and applied research on novel audio technology.
This involves a close and long-term collaboration between both
institutions stipulated by contract. Eventually, more than 50 scientists
will work in this internationally unique research facility.

The Faculty of Engineering invites applications for the following three
professorships to be filled at the Department of Electrical,
Electronics, and Communication Engineering:

W 3-Professorship in Semantic Audio Processing (tenured)

The successful applicant will be expected to represent the field of
semantic processing of audio signals both in research and teaching.
Special focus should be on intelligent and object-oriented analysis,
semantic processing, and respective synthesis of complex audio signal
mixtures.

W 2-Professorship in Psychoacoustics (limited to 5 years)

The successful applicant will be expected to represent the field of
psychoacoustic modelling of human auditory perception and its cognitive
aspects both in research and teaching. Focus areas can be spatial
auditory attributes, computational auditory scene analysis, or
subjective signal quality, as it is relevant for perceptually motivated
audio signal processing and coding.

W 2-Professorship in Speech Coding (limited to 5 years)

The successful applicant will be expected to represent the field of
speech coding both in research and teaching. Special focus should be on
modern methods for low bit-rate combined speech and audio coding, speech
coding based on analysis-by-synthesis, and speech transformation.


Qualifications include university graduate and doctoral degrees, good
teaching skills, and a habilitation or equivalent other qualification,
which may have been gained outside the University or within a
'Juniorprofessur'.

At the time of appointment the candidate must not exceed 52 years of
age. The Ministry for Science, Research and Art, with approval by the
Ministry of Finance, may grant exemptions to this rule. The appointment
will be made by the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg. This appointment
will be made by the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg.

The University of Erlangen-Nürnberg is committed to a profamily policy
and an equal opportunity employer. We strongly encourage women to apply
in an effort to increase a female representation in research and teaching.

The University of Erlangen-Nürnberg pursues a policy of intensive study
support of its students and expects therefore that its teaching staff
maintain a substantial student contact time by being present at the
university.

All other qualifications being equal handicapped persons will be given
priority.

Application documents (curriculum vitae, photograph, list of
publications and teaching activities, and certified copies of degree
certificates but no publications) must be sent not later than July 30,
2011 to: Dekan der Technischen Fakultät der Universität
Erlangen-Nürnberg, Martensstraße 5a, 91058 Erlangen, Germany.
