CVSSP is an International Centre of Excellence for research in Audio-Visual Machine Perception and AI, with over 180 researchers. The Centre has state-of-the-art audio and video capture and analysis facilities supporting research in real-time video and audio processing and visualisation. CVSSP has a compute facility with 300 GPUs and >2PB of high-speed secure storage. The post-holder will also have access to the compute resources from Surrey Institute of People Centred AI, including 200+ state-of-the-art GPUs.
The post-holders will be based in CVSSP, and work under the direction of the Principal Investigator Prof Wenwu Wang, and in collaboration with the industrial partner.

Research Fellow on Machine Learning for Perceptual Quality Prediction of Spatial Music
The role
The focus of this post will be to develop machine learning and AI models and signal processing algorithms for perceptual quality prediction and rating of songs reproduced using 3D rendering algorithms.
About you
The post-holder is expected to have a PhD degree (or equivalent) in machine learning, spatial audio, audio signal processing, audio perception, audio quality assessment, or a related area in electronic engineering, computer science, applied mathematics, or statistics. Preference will be given to those who have experience on machine learning/AI, spatial audio, but candidates who have experience in audio perception and signal processing are welcome to apply. The post-holder is expected to have strong analytical and programming skills in Python, Matlab or C/C++.

Research Fellow on Perceptual Evaluations and Data Curation for Spatial Music
The role
The focus of this post will be to organise and perform listening tests to evaluate the perceptual quality of spatialised music audio, record the listening scores from each subject, perform statistical analysis of the listening test data, and organise the data files.
About you
The post-holder is expected to have a PhD degree (or equivalent) in electronic engineering, computer science, psychology of hearing, or a related field. Preference will be given to those who have experience on listening test, data curation, audio perception, psychoacoustics, but candidates who have experience in spatial audio and music audio are welcome to apply.
