The research activity is part of the interdisciplinary research doctoral network MOSAIC with several institutes of RWTH Aachen University with the participation of TU Berlin in order to research the topic of ‘acoustic well-being’ using a multi-layered approach.
This includes:

• Research on the topic of ‘acoustic well-being’ by planning, conducting and analyzing experiments in different rooms in virtual reality
• Development of new methods for measuring physical, psychological and behavioural reactions to sounds
• Simulating various room acoustic effects, e.g. opening a window, and analyzing the effects on (acoustic) well-being
• Participation in further training programs such as workshops, laboratory visits and training weeks within the interdisciplinary research training group
• Doctorate in the doctoral network MOSAIC

• A completed academic degree (Master's, Diploma, or equivalent) in an engineering field or an area closely related to engineering acoustics
• In-depth knowledge of acoustics and signal processing
• Basic knowledge of psychoacoustics and soundscape
• Experience with auralization methods
• Good knowledge of German and/or English required; willingness to acquire the respective missing language skills

Desirable:

• Knowledge of hardware and software aspects of VR applications (e.g. head-mounted displays, Unreal Engine)
• Experience in planning and conducting listening experiments
• knowledge of statistical methods, particularly inferential statistics

We offer you:
