Description:

Cambridge Cognition is an innovative neuroscience technology company dedicated
to measuring and improving brain health. We develop a wide range of digital
health solutions to the scientific and practical challenges of improving
neural function, from identifying new digital biomarkers of neuropsychiatric
disorders through to FDA-approved medical devices to assess dementia.

We are currently recruiting in Cambridge UK for a talented speech and voice
research engineer to join a research team exploring the potential to use
language and voice-based assessments to capture cognitive processes and other
mental states in conditions such as Alzheimer’s, depression, and chronic pain.
 

The ideal candidate will have a broad understanding of voice analysis tools
and approaches, as well as practical experience addressing voice analysis
challenges such as speaker identification, emotion recognition or fraud
detection, along with strong experience with machine learning / deep learning
toolkits such as TensorFlow or Theano and voice analysis toolkits such as
SRILM or Open SMILE.

The role will involve the design and development of interactive voice
applications and the application of state of the art machine learning
techniques to voice audio data, therefore experience with dialog systems and
speech recognition is highly desirable.

The candidate should have a Masters or PhD in a relevant discipline.
