About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Research Fellow to join our interdisciplinary team in the Department of Computer and Information Sciences at Northumbria University. The successful candidate will work on the Sonic Intangibles project, a two-year research project that seeks to bring intangibles into our audible experience.

The project involves developing research using sonification in the fields of astronomy, materials science, computing, and space weather. The successful candidate will have a background in computer science and demonstrable expertise in computer programming and the use of team-based environments such as GitHub.

The project team will include another full-time Research Associate at Newcastle University with whom you will work in close collaboration. Familiarity with sonification practice and research will be essential in developing the interdisciplinary collaboration with the wider team.

This is an exciting opportunity to collaborate on a new area of interdisciplinary research. The successful candidate will have a demonstrable ability to lead in the design, organisation, and running of experiments, interviews, focus groups, and related activities with the team and research participants.

About the Team

The project team has a strong track record of leading and participating in sonification projects with interdisciplinary themes. The team includes Prof Vickers, President of ICAD, the International Community for Auditory Display, and other experts in sonification practice and research.

The team has led/is leading on sonification projects with interdisciplinary themes, including the Leverhulme Trust RADICAL project, the international Audio Universe project, and the early-stage project Singing Materials for sonification of quantum-scale vibrations.

About You

We are looking for a highly skilled Research Fellow with a PhD (or equivalent experience) in Computer Science or a relevant cognate discipline. The successful candidate will have demonstrable specialist expert knowledge in methods and techniques suitable for collaborative software development with online repository environments and familiarity with methods and techniques in data sonification and auditory display.

The successful candidate will have a demonstrable ability to work cooperatively as part of an interdisciplinary team, including participating in research meetings and working on joint research projects.
