models and tools for the application of probabilistic machine learning
techniques to the analysis of music and brain imaging data on music
cognition, to be developed in collaboration with University College  
London,
Leibniz Institute for Neurobiology (Germany) and Johannes Kepler  
University
of Linz (Austria).

Candidates for this post will be expected to have an interdisciplinary

Fellow in
Computer Music) connected to this project will be available for start  
in Jan
