Dear colleagues, please find here below an open position at IRCAM. We would appreciate if you could forward to interested parties. The offer is available online in English http://www.ircam.fr/71.html?L=1#job_109 and French http://www.ircam.fr/71.html#job_106. Please note that the web page currently indicates a deadline for the application. This is wrong. Applications are accepted until the position is filled. Kind regards Axel Roebel ================================================ JOB TITLE: Researcher and Developer for the Audio2Note (A2N) Project A full time researcher position is immediately available in the analysis/synthesis team of IRCAM. The Analysis/Synthesis team is researching and developing new and advanced algorithms for sound signal anal synthesis and transformation. The A2N project aims to establish signal processing libraries for accessing individual note polyphonic possibly multichannel audio signals. The algorithm is based on a C++ implémentation of an algorithm for mul fundamental frequency estimation that has been developed previously in the Analysis/Synthesis team. The objective of position is to finalize, evaluate and optimize the current implementation and to conduct research and development of the library for a number of applications in the context of different software environments. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT TASKS: The candidate will perform the following tasks: o conduct research into algorithmic improvements of the existing algorithms o conduct research into adaptations as well as extensions of the existing algorithms for new applications. o supervise students working on problems related to the A2N project o evaluation of existing and newly developed algorithms o design, implement and continually improve the library and the corresponding API for integration into different soft applications. o communicate with other developers to ensure a smooth integration of the library in existing software environments. o testing of the library. o create and distribute demo packages and beta releases for testing purposes. o handling of user feedback. o prepare software releases. REQUIRED EXPERIENCE AND COMPETENCE: o Excellent knowledge of digital audio signal processing algorithms o Several years of experience with signal processing algorithms covering the fields: polyphonic fundamental freque estimation, spectral masking, signal separation, spectral domain representations, sinusoidal models. o Excellent knowledge and multiple years of experience with the MATLAB programming environment. o Good knowledge and experience of C++ and C programming language. o Experience with STL. o Interest for music. o High productivity, methodical and autonomous work, creativity, good communication skills, and excellent programming style. AVAILABILITY: The position is available in the "Analysis/Synthesis" team in the R&D department starting as soon as possible. DURATION The initial contract is for 6-8 months, a prolongation of the contract is intended. It will depend on the results obtained during initial working period. SALARY: According to background and experience. TO APPLY: - Please send your resume with qualifications and other pertinent information preferably by email to: Axel.Roebel@xxxxxxxx (Axel Roebel, Head of the Analysis/Synthesis team) or by fax at: (33 1) 44 78 15 40, to Axel Roebel or by surface mail to: Axel Roebel, IRCAM, 1 Place Stravinsky, 75004 Paris. -- Axel Roebel Head of the Analysis/Synthesis Team, IRCAM Phone: ++33-1-4478 4845 | Fax: ++33-1-4478 1540
