Candidates will have a demonstrable research and teaching expertise in 
any area of audio programming or computer music systems, with an 
emphasis on low-level audio programming and/or scripting skills (C++/C 
Sharp/Python), which will help prepare students both for further study 
in music technology or success in the industrial audio engineering/ 
creative music technology sector.

The successful applicant will have a PhD in a relevant field such as 
Computer Science, Computer Music, or Music Technology and will have an 
outstanding research profile in one or more of areas such as audio 
programming, game audio, machine learning, physical computing, 
computational creativity, digital luthiery new musical forms, and app 
development, with the ability to produce exceptional research outputs 
and attract significant external funding.

The appointee will contribute to the development of computer music and 
audio engineering teaching at first and second-year level; they will 
deliver specialised courses at honours level, and they will lead the 
development of new courses for the MSc in Sound Design and the MSc in 
Acoustics and Music Technology.

The appointee will supervise undergraduate and postgraduate 
dissertations, and will be expected to make a major contribution to the 
recruitment and supervision of PhD students in the School. We would be 
particularly interested in candidates whose research reflects the 
multidisciplinary ethos of the Edinburgh College of Art, of which the 
Reid School of Music is part, and who are able to engage with the wider 
university through related disciplines, such as Informatics, 
Mathematics, and Physics.
