Hi all, Please see below for two job openings at Queen Mary University of London, both with November application deadlines. The postdoc position on studies with musicians may be of particular interest here. The two searches are separate, so anyone interested to be considered for both should submit two applications. Best wishes, Andrew *** 3-year postdoc in digital musical instrument design and evaluation. Deadline 20 November; starts in January or as soon as possible thereafter. Complete details: https://webapps2.is.qmul.ac.uk/jobs/job.action?jobRef=QMUL7185 The post is particularly focused on studying the interaction between performer and instrument in various musical contexts. The responsibilities of the role are to design and conduct studies with musical performers, and to work on a team creating new musical instruments which build on the existing skills of trained musicians. The ideal candidate will have musical proficiency (any genre/instrument) at an intermediate level or higher, either through formal training or equivalent performing/composition experience plus experience in conducting studies with human participants (e.g. HCI user studies, evaluations of interactive systems, performance studies, psychology experiments, etc.) and working knowledge of audio signal representation and processing. The candidate should have a PhD, DMA or equivalent degree in one of the following: Computer Science, Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Psychology, or Music (performance/composition/musicology). Experience with motion capture systems, experimental design and/or statistical analysis of data is also welcome. This post is part of the EPSRC project “Design for Virtuosity: Modelling and Supporting Expertise in Digital Musical Interaction”, based in the Centre for Digital Music (C4DM) in the School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science, Queen Mary University of London. Please submit applications via the link above, or contact Andrew McPherson (a.mcpherson@xxxxxxxx) with any informal queries. *** 4.5-year fixed term Lecturer [approximate UK equivalent to Assistant Professor] in digital signal processing and/or embedded hardware.
