Subject: PhD positions in Semantic Audio and Music Informatics at Centre for Digital Music, QMUL From: Mark Sandler <mark.sandler@xxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 22 Jun 2015 12:40:15 +0000 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY> --_000_4B4D1F5AA1FA4BE1BF527EF197595C61qmulacuk_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Two PhD positions with the Centre for Digital Music in Music Informatics and Semantic Audio Applications are invited for 2 fully-funded PhD studentships, allied to the= 5 year EPSRC and Digital Economy funded Programme Grant: Fusing Audio and = Semantic Technologies for Intelligent Music Production and Consumption (FAS= T-IMPACt or FAST). The grant started in June 2014 and runs until June 2019. FAST-IMPACt aims to answer questions such as: How can next generation web t= echnologies (Ontologies, Linked Data, Metadata) combined with music content= analysis in the studio bring new value and functionality to producers, cre= ators, consumers and intermediaries of music content? And how will both end= s of the music value chain benefit from more engaging interactions (enhance= d productivity, increased enjoyment and immersion) while creating or consum= ing music? And can intermediaries add value with semantically enhanced serv= ices? Helping us pursue this vision are national and international partners from = academia and industry, including BBC R&D, Abbey Road, Omnifone, Universal M= usic, Solid State Logic, International Audio Labs and more. Candidates must have a first-class honours degree or equivalent, or a good = MSc Degree in Computer Science, Electronic Engineering, Sound & Music Compu= ting or equivalent. Candidates should be confident in digital signal proces= sing and/or machine learning, and have programming experience in, e.g. MATL= AB, Mathematica, Python, Java, C++ or similar. Prior experience with Semant= ic Web is welcome. Experience in research and a track record of publication= s is very advantageous. Formal music training or sound engineering experien= ce is also advantageous. More details can be found at: http://www.eecs.qmul.ac.uk/phd/research-topic= s/funded or http://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/ALJ821/two-phd-studentship-in-semanti= c-audio-and-music-informatics/ The closing date for the applications is 31/07/15. Interviews are expected = to take place between 2 and 4 September 2015. -- professor mark sandler, CEng, FIEEE, FAES, FIET, FBCS royal society wolfson research merit award holder director of the EPSRC/AHRC CDT in media and arts technology (MAT) director of the centre for digital music (c4dm) school of electronic engineering and computer science queen mary university of london mark.sandler@xxxxxxxx<mailto:mark.sandler@xxxxxxxx> +44 (0)20 7882 7680; +44 (0)7775 016715 twitter: @xxxxxxxx, follow the FAST-IMPACt Programme Grant @xxxxxxxx --_000_4B4D1F5AA1FA4BE1BF527EF197595C61qmulacuk_ Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" Content-ID: <7A9D0FBAF49A2446B536893AFCB541BA@xxxxxxxx> Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <html> <head> <meta http-equiv=3D"Content-Type" content=3D"text/html; charset=3Dus-ascii"= > </head> <body style=3D"word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-lin= e-break: after-white-space;" class=3D""> <div style=3D"text-align: center;" class=3D""><b class=3D""><font size=3D"4= " class=3D"">Two PhD positions with the Centre for Digital Music </fon= t></b></div> <div style=3D"text-align: center;" class=3D""><b class=3D""><font size=3D"4= " class=3D"">in </font></b></div> <div style=3D"text-align: center;" class=3D""><b class=3D""><font size=3D"4= " class=3D"">Music Informatics and Semantic Audio</font></b></div> <div class=3D""><font size=3D"4" class=3D""><br class=3D""> </font></div>  <p class=3D"MsoNormal"><span lang=3D"EN-US" style=3D"font-family:Calibri;ms= o-ansi-language: EN-US;mso-fareast-language:JA" class=3D""><font size=3D"4" class=3D"">Appli= cations are invited for 2 fully-funded PhD studentships, allied to the 5 ye= ar EPSRC and Digital Economy funded Programme Grant: <i class=3D"">Fusing Audio and Semantic Technologi= es for Intelligent Music Production and Consumption</i> (FAST-IMPACt or FAS= T).
