CVSSP has a compute facility with 1000 CPUs, 200 GPUs and
2PB of high-speed secure storage.About youThe post-holder is expected to have a PhD degree (or equivalent) in generative AI, acoustic signal processing, cross-modal processing among audio and text, machine learning, or a related area in electronic engineering, applied mathematics, computer science, and statistics. The post-holder is expected to have strong analytical skills and programming skills such as Python, C/C++, or Matlab. Preference will be given to those who have experience on generative AI models, audio generation, cross modal translations (such as, text to audio), but candidates who have experience in machine learning and audio signal processing are welcome to apply.How to applyPlease apply with your CV and cover letter with your application on the University website.For informal inquiries, please contact Prof Wenwu Wang (Email: ; Web: ).The University of Surrey reserves the right to close this vacancy early based on Volume and Calibre of applications.Further detailsFor more information and to apply online, please download the further details and click on the ‘apply online’ button above.In return we offer a generous pension, relocation assistance where appropriate , flexible working options including job share and blended home/campus working locations (dependent on work duties), access to world-class leisure facilities on campus, a range of travel schemes and supportive family friendly benefits including an excellent on-site nursery.The University of Surrey is committed to providing an inclusive environment that offers equal opportunities for all.
