Working closely with the IoSR’s academic staff across its research areas in audio and acoustic engineering, and with our industry and academic partners, you will develop research ideas into competitive proposals, identify opportunities and help build the consortia needed for collaborative bids. 

A substantial part of the role will involve developing and coordinating competitive proposals for funding bodies such as the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), Horizon Europe, and industry. You will proactively identify external funding opportunities that advance the IoSR’s research priorities and help colleagues develop fundable programmes of work. Working alongside colleagues, you will make substantive intellectual and methodological contributions, from shaping research questions and study designs to generating pilot evidence and writing applications. Through substantive roles in collaborative projects and, where appropriate, fellowship applications, you will develop a sustainable, externally funded research portfolio that supports your academic development and the IoSR’s research ambitions. Proposals that leverage AURORA³, the IoSR’s new national strategic infrastructure for audio, acoustics and AI research, are expected to form part of this portfolio. 

Alongside your collaborative research responsibilities, you will have protected time for research you lead. This will support the development of your research profile and publication pipeline in leading journals and conferences, complemented by opportunities to contribute to publications arising from collaborative projects. 

You will hold a PhD in engineering, computer science, acoustics, or a related area by the appointment start date and bring strong methodological skills, a promising publication record or pipeline, and the ability to develop rigorous research ideas and persuasive proposals. We are looking for a proactive and collegial researcher who can work effectively across disciplines and build productive relationships with academic colleagues and external partners.

Your research will address questions in audio and acoustic engineering with applications in areas such as immersive media, communications, consumer audio and hearing health. We welcome expertise across signal processing, spatial audio, psychoacoustics, and machine learning for audio.

About the Institute of Sound Recording (IoSR)

The Institute of Sound Recording (IoSR) at the University of Surrey is an internationally leading centre for research in psychoacoustic engineering, combining acoustics, auditory perception, signal processing and machine learning. The IoSR is also home to the world-renowned Tonmeister degree in Music and Sound Recording, which has produced a stream of highly successful graduates who have collectively received numerous accolades, including three Oscars, twelve Grammys, six Emmys, and twelve BAFTAs.

Our culture empowers people to achieve this aim and to collectively, and individually, make a real difference.   

The role

This is an exciting new opportunity for an enthusiastic and motivated postdoctoral fellow in health data-sciences and biomedical informatics to join the Veterinary Health Innovation Engine (vHive) and the University of Surrey’s Health and Biomedical Informatics Group. 

The overall objective for the postholder is to work within these multidisciplinary teams to apply and repurpose techniques in informatics, data sciences, machine learning and AI, to develop new insights and approaches to improve animal health and welfare. This will include assuming responsibilities for informatics- and computational-led data analysis to identify new opportunities via market analysis, drug repurposing/discovery, formal knowledge representation, and precision medicine-led biomarker discovery to complement new therapeutic veterinary medicine approaches.  

This work is contextualised into a programme award from our sponsors Zoetis (the largest animal health corporation globally) that seeks to support their interests in key disease issues. The post will thus involve collaborative working with industry partners, charities, as well as other universities and research institutes across the UK and internationally. The job holder will develop, repurpose and use new research techniques and methods, in consultation with the research supervisor and with input from Zoetis employees. These studies will include assessing interview and stakeholder data for unmet need definition, in-silico drug repurposing and trial research, critical evaluation and interpretation of biomarker discovery datasets (and in particular proteomics and transcriptomics), plus extensive library research. 

The overall programme of research will be jointly developed by Prof. Nophar Geifman and the person appointed. There are opportunities to broaden out into other areas such as new algorithm development, and advanced computational methodologies for integrated analyses. 

About you

You will have a key role in planning, designing and executing a range of analyses on varied novel projects aimed at high-impact and theoretically valuable research questions. Strong quantitative research skills with hands-on real-world experience are essential. You must have experience in the application of informatics pipelines to health and biomedical data (outside educational settings). You will need good communication skills, and able to work with and disseminate information to both academic and non-academic audiences. You will have a PhD in health, medical or bio-informatics, epidemiology, data sciences, or a related subject, ideally with a focus on utilising large-scale health/biomedical data and the application of advanced data analysis methods such as machine-learning. Equivalent research or industry experience will also be considered. Excellent statistical and analytical skills are necessary, as are programming skills, ideally with the ability to work in R and experience with bioinformatic tools/software. Coding in other languages such as python, is an advantage.
