Apologies for mulitple postings, but please distribute widely Postdoctoral Fellow position: Analysis, creation and teaching of orchestration (ACTOR)
A two-year position as a postdoctoral fellow (PDF) is available at the Schulich School of Music (www.mcgill.ca/music) of McGill University. The PDFs will work within an international, interdisciplinary partnership directed by Stephen McAdams, and including McGill faculty members in composition (Denys Bouliane, John Rea, Philippe Leroux), music theory (Robert Hasegawa), sound recording (Martha de Francisco), music technology (Philippe Depalle, Ichiro Fujinaga), conducting (Guillaume Bourgogne), and music psychology (Stephen McAdams). The ACTOR Partnership (see www.actor-project.org) proposes to bring the often-neglected topics of timbre and orchestration to the forefront of musical scholarship and practice, through a collaboration including world-class artists, scholars, and scientists. This Partnership links major North American and European universities, conservatories, research centres, orchestras, and companies to develop a solid theoretical basis for orchestration practice and pedagogy, to stimulate the development of new creativity-enhancing digital tools for teaching and learning orchestration, and to apply tools of corpus analysis and machine learning to better understand orchestration practice in over four centuries of music. The partnership is organized into three primary research axes: 1) Analysis Axis – score, text, audio, perception and performance analysis of orchestration practice and interpretation, 2) Tool Development Axis – development of computer-aided orchestration and orchestral simulation environments, an orchestration research database, and an online interactive orchestration resource, 3) Output Innovation Axis – applying the analysis-based research and tools to innovation in orchestration pedagogy, music scholarship and composition. There will be ample opportunity for collaboration with team members at McGill and with the other institutional partners. The PDF will be co-supervised by Robert Hasegawa, ACTOR Associate Director, and Stephen McAdams, ACTOR Director. The Schulich School of Music is an internationally recognized university-based music faculty with humanistic, scientific and engineering research, composition and music performance. It houses the multi-university Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Music Media and Technology (CIRMMT). McGill University is a world-class institution in the culturally and scientifically vibrant city of Montreal. -- Open-access journal Transactions of ISMIR, open for submissions: https://tismir.ismir.net --- ISMIR 2020 will take place in Montréal, Canada, October 12-16 2020 -- http://ismir2020.ismir.net/ ISMIR 2021 will take place in Bangalore, India, November 8-12, 2021 ISMIR Home -- http://www.ismir.net/ --- Please note!
