Subject: [AUDITORY] Postdoctoral position: Perception and computational modeling of musical orchestration From: "Stephen McAdams, Prof." <stephen.mcadams@xxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 18 Jan 2018 16:10:49 +0000 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY> --_000_FD4B032280814C1BBD878B1E1DC563D0mcgillca_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable [Please distribute widely. Apologies in advance for cross-postings.] A one- to two-year position for a postdoctoral fellow is available in the M= usic Perception and Cognition Laboratory (www.mcgill.ca/mpcl<http://www.psy= .cmu.edu/~lholt/>) in the Schulich School of Music (www. mcgill.ca<http://w= ww.psy.cmu.edu/>/music) of McGill University. The lab is directed by Stephe= n McAdams. The MAKIMOno project (Multimodal Analysis and Knowledge Inferenc= e for Musical Orchestration) aims to create information technologies for hu= man interaction with digital media that will change orchestration pedagogy,= provide innovative tools for the computer-aided interactive creation of mu= sical content, and lead to a better understanding of perceptual principles = underlying orchestration practice. Depending on background and skills, the post-doctoral researcher will be in= volved in: 1) project coordination, 2) symbolic modeling of orchestration e= ffects and techniques discovered in machine-readable score through data min= ing and machine learning techniques, 3) coordination of perceptual testing = of orchestral excerpts, and 4) integrating analyses and data into the Orche= stration Research and Analysis Database (orchard.actor-project.org<http://o= rchard.actor-project.org>). This position provides an opportunity to acquir= e new skills in symbolic data mining, database development, and perceptual = experimentation. The post-doctoral fellow would also interact closely with = Philippe Depalle and Ichiro Fujinaga in the Music Technology Area of the Sc= hulich School of Music, Denys Bouliane of OrchPlayMusic, Inc. (www.orchplay= music.com<http://www.orchplaymusic.com>), and with Philippe Esling and Carl= os Agon at the Institut de recherche et coordination acoustique/musique (IR= CAM) in Paris. Candidates must have a strong background in research, be able to read orche= stral scores and have completed a PhD in Cognitive Science or related field= . We are especially interested in candidates with research interests and sk= ills in database development (MongoDB, Solr, Django), data mining, machine = learning and music perception and cognition research, but people with relat= ed research interests are also welcome to apply. Applicants must have recei= ved their PhD within 3 years of the application date. They should submit a = cover letter, CV describing their fit for the position, and 3 representativ= e papers, and arrange for 3 letters of reference to be sent to stephen.mcad= ams@xxxxxxxx<mailto:stephen.mcadams@xxxxxxxx> by 28 February 2018. Start = date (negotiable) is early 2018. For further details, contact Stephen McAda= ms. The salary is $44,000 CAD. The Music Perception and Cognition Laboratory has strong ties to the Centre= for Interdisciplinary Research in Music Media and Technology<http://www.ci= rmmt.org/> (CIRMMT: www.cirmmt.org<http://www.cirmmt.org>). McGill Universi= ty is a world-class institution of higher education in the culturally and s= cientifically vibrant city of Montreal. --_000_FD4B032280814C1BBD878B1E1DC563D0mcgillca_ Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" Content-ID: <34822E028961F24388081147685DEA08@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"">  [Please distribute widely.
