Master’s, PhD, and Postdoc Openings at the MuSAE Lab in Montreal, Canada

The Multimedia Signal Analysis and Enhancement (MuSAE) Lab has openings at the graduate and post-graduate levels to work in the area of non-intrusive objective speech quality measurement of enhanced speech. Particular interest is placed on microphone array processed speech. The recruited researcher(s) will work closely with national and international industry (e.g., Google) and academic partners.

Candidates should have strong knowledge in at least two of the following topics: speech signal processing, single- and multi-channel speech enhancement, subjective/objective speech quality assessment, psychoacoustics, and pattern recognition (eg, deep learning). Hands-on experience with commercial microphone arrays, as well as with speech data collection in noisy and reverberant environments will be considered as great assets. Interested candidates should send their transcripts (unofficial copies), up-to-date CV's, and relevant publications to Dr. Tiago Falk (falk [at] emt [dot] inrs [dot] ca). Please note that only short-listed candidates will be contacted for an interview. Moreover, postdoctoral candidates will be expected to have a strong publication record in reputable journals and conference proceedings.

The MuSAE Lab is located at the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS-EMT), University of Quebec, in Montreal, Canada – a bilingual (English/French) city renowned for its great pool of ethnic diversity and its vibrant cosmopolitan ambiance. INRS has consistently ranked as a top-3 Canadian university in the category ‘Research Intensity and publications’ and houses several state-of-the-art research facilities.
