[AUDITORY] tenure track position & music instrument competition

["Lerch, Alexander G" <alexander.lerch@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear list:

I wanted to quickly remind you of two opportunities coming due at the end of this month in music technology at Georgia Tech:

The School of Music (http://www.music.gatech.edu) at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Georgia invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in Music Technology.  Applicants will be considered at the level of Assistant Professor. The School seeks a scholar in music technology whose interdisciplinary research spans both technical research and creative practice, transforming the ways in which we create, experience, and understand music. The candidate will be expected to teach graduate and undergraduate courses in music technology and to lead a research lab at the Georgia Tech Center for Music Technology. The primary emphasis area can be drawn from any area of music technology; examples include research that addresses Virtual/Augmented Audio, Game Audio, Musical Acoustics, Computational Musicology broadly defined, or Musical Interfaces and Hardware. Candidates are expected to demonstrate an exceptional commitment to the teaching and mentoring of students. Applications will be considered beginning November 1, 2018, but the search will continue until the position is filled. More information and application details at http://music.gatech.edu/jobs.

Georgia Tech's 2019 Margaret Guthman Musical Instrument Competition is an annual event aimed at identifying the world's next generation of musical instruments and unveiling the best new ideas in musicality, design, engineering, and impact.  The Guardian called the competition "The Pulitzer of the New Instrument World," and The New York Times described the "special, otherworldly sound that you can feel permeating your soul" which became the hallmark of the competition. Fast Company explained how Guthman's "Futuristic Instruments will change how we make music," and the Atlanta Magazine suggests that "at the Guthman Competition, innovative instruments just might predict the future of music." The Guthman Competition will take place March 8-9, 2019 at Georgia Tech's Ferst Center for the Arts, in Atlanta, Georgia. We are accepting submissions until October 31, 2018 at http://guthman.gatech.edu.

Thanks!
