Internship - Audio separation, generation, and analysis
6 days ago
We are seeking graduate students interested in helping advance the fields of generative audio, source separation, speech enhancement, and robust ASR in challenging multi-source and far-field scenarios. The interns will collaborate with MERL researchers to derive and implement new models and optimization methods, conduct experiments, and prepare results for publication. Internships regularly lead to one or more publications in top-tier venues, which can later become part of the intern's doctoral work.
The ideal candidates are senior Ph.D. students with experience in some of the following: audio signal processing, microphone array processing, probabilistic modeling, and deep generative modeling.
Multiple positions are available with flexible start dates (not just Spring/Summer but throughout 2026) and duration (typically 3-6 months).
