Researcher/Developer (W/M) at Ircam/CNRS/Sorbonne University
Expert in 3D audio and/or Audio Virtual Reality
Full-time Permanent position
INTRODUCTION TO IRCAM:
IRCAM is a non-profit organization that is associated to the Centre
Pompidou (Centre national d’art et de culture Georges Pompidou). Its
missions comprise research, production, and education related to
contemporary music and its relation to science and technology. The R&D
department of IRCAM, CNRS and Sorbonne University are also associated in
the framework of the STMS Joint Research lab (Sciences and Technologies
of Music and Sound). Its specialized teams are conducting research and
development in the areas of acoustics, sound signal processing,
interaction, computer music and musicology. IRCAM is located in the
centre of Paris near the Centre Pompidou, at 1, Place Igor Stravinsky
75004 Paris.
HOST TEAM
The Acoustic and Cognitive Spaces team research and development activity
centers on the reproduction, the analysis/synthesis, and the perception
of sound spaces. The team’s scientific disciplines are signal processing
and acoustics for the elaboration of spatialized audio reproduction
techniques and methods for the analysis/synthesis of a sound field. In
parallel, the team devotes part of its activities to cognitive studies
on multisensorial integration for a rational development of new sonic
mediations based on body/hearing/space interaction. Research projects
are regularly conducted through collaborative funded projects with
French or European academic or industrial partners. In parallel, the
team is cooperating actively with the artistic production department of
IRCAM (creation projects, artistic residencies). Collaborations have
also been established in the domains of health research (e.g. virtual
reality based therapy) and archeoacoustics. These scientific research
activities are combined with an intense development activity. The
developed software libraries consolidate the expertise of the team, its
theoretical and experimental activities and are the major vector of our
relationship with musical creation as well as various application
domains, including digital audio industry.
The team intends to propose solutions for recording / transforming /
reproducing and interacting with sonic environments, preserving their
spatial richness and complexity. These objectives call for the research
and development of creation tools that rely simultaneously on physical
modeling of sound fields, on the control of possibly massive or
distributed transducers arrays, on sound scene analysis and on the
finding of perceptually relevant spatial attributes. Besides
above-mentioned scientific disciplines, machine learning techniques are
becoming essential for sound scene analysis and its control in the frame
of audio augmented reality scenarios.
POSITION DESCRIPTION
L’IRCAM is looking for a researcher/developer with expertise in the
domain of 3D audio and virtual reality. She or he will work in the
Acoustic and Cognitive Spaces team. The selected candidate will design,
implement and assess creation tools based on acoustic modeling and sound
scene auralisation, possibly making use of dense transducer arrays and
based on sound scene analysis/synthesis models. These tools should
handle different use cases emanating from scientific research (sound
engineering, spatial cognition, room acoustics, archeoacoutics) or
creation (artistic projects and residencies).
ACTIVITIES
According to the applicant profile:
Devise and implement auralisation and 3D audio rendering models
interacting with available virtual reality environments;
Devise and implement sound scene analysis/synthesis methods;
Devise and implement creation tools;
Contribute to the development of optimised C++ libraries;
Contribute to the development of GUI C++ modules;
Devise and implement all or part of a use case scenario in
interaction with the R&D or Production/Creation department;
Cooperate to the planning of development tasks;
Cooperate to the implementation of perceptual experiments;
Contribute to collaborative projects setup;
Collaborate with third party integrators
REQUIRED EXPERIENCE AND SKILLS:
The applicant will hold a PhD and/or have an established experience
in audio signal processing, acoustics and virtual reality environments;
High skills in C/C++ programming;
High skills in sound engineering and sound spatialisation;
Good knowledge of MATLAB/Python programming;
Chief notions of methods and tools for project management;
Fluent professional English: reading, speaking, writing;
Musical practice valued
SALARY: According to background and experience
