The Signal Processing <http://uhh.de/inf-sp>research group at the
Universität Hamburg (http://uhh.de/inf-sp) is hiring a research
associate (PhD candidate) for a project on *P**hase-Aware Speech
Enhancement*.

The focus of the group is on developing novel methods for processing
speech signals with applications in speech communication devices such as
hearing aids, and voice-controlled assistants. Typically, the
performance of these devices drops drastically when interfering noise
sources are present. To mend this undesired behavior, noise reduction
is  applied. This is most commonly done in a spectral domain, where
speech is represented by means of its spectral magnitude and its
spectral phase. Until today, most systems process only the spectral
magnitude, as phase processing remains a challenge. However, this
restriction to magnitude processing also limits the achievable
performance of noise reduction systems. Thus, the goal of the successful
candidate is to improve noise reduction systems by incorporating phase
processing. For this, modern methods from signal processing and machine
learning are to be  applied.
