Postdoctoral Fellowship positions: Analysis, creation and teaching of orche= stration (ACTOR) Two two-year positions for postdoctoral fellows are available at the Schuli= ch School of Music (www.mcgill.ca/music<http://www.mcgill.ca/music>) of McG= ill University. The post-docs will work within an international, interdisci= plinary partnership directed by Stephen McAdams, and including McGill facul= ty members in composition (Denys Bouliane, John Rea, Philippe Leroux), musi= c theory (Robert Hasegawa), sound recording (Martha de Francisco), music te= chnology (Philippe Depalle, Ichiro Fujinaga), and conducting (Guillaume Bou= rgogne). The ACTOR Partnership proposes to bring the often-neglected topics= of timbre and orchestration to the forefront of musical scholarship and pr= actice, through a collaboration including world-class artists, scholars, an= d scientists. This Partnership links major North American and European univ= ersities, conservatories, research centres, orchestras, and companies to de= velop a solid theoretical basis for orchestration practice and pedagogy, to= stimulate the development of new creativity-enhancing digital tools for te= aching and learning orchestration, and to apply tools of corpus analysis an= d machine learning to better understand orchestration practice in over four= centuries of music. The partnership is organized into three primary resear= ch axes: 1) Analysis Axis =E2=80=93 score, text, audio, perception and perf= ormance analysis of orchestration practice and interpretation, 2) Tool Deve= lopment Axis =E2=80=93 development of computer-aided orchestration and orch= estral simulation environments, an orchestration research database, and an = online interactive orchestration resource, 3) Output Innovation Axis =E2=80= =93 applying the analysis-based research and tools to innovation in orchest= ration pedagogy, music scholarship and composition. Post-doc 1: One post-doc will work in the Analysis Axis, carrying out origi= nal analyses of historical and contemporary orchestration techniques and li= nking score, text, audio, perception and performance analyses through the O= rchestration Analysis and Research Database (ORCHARD) and the Online Orches= tration Resource. The post-doc will be involved in project coordination, sc= ore and text analysis, perceptual experimentation, and co-supervision of gr= aduate and undergraduate students. The ideal candidate must be musically li= terate and have completed doctoral studies in any combination of music theo= ry, musicology, music psychology, and computer music. Familiarity with data= bases and computational approaches are a strong asset. Post-doc 2: Another post-doctoral researcher will work on the Output Innova= tion Axis,. This post-doc will be involved in project coordination and the = application of humanistic and scientific research on orchestration in the f= ields of music theory and musicology, orchestration pedagogy, and compositi= onal practice. They will participate in the development of methods for eval= uating the impact of this research in those domains and will co-supervise g= raduate and undergraduate students. The ideal candidate will have a doctora= l degree in music theory, musicology, or composition, with a strong backgro= und in orchestration and an interest in pedagogical innovation. A deep know= ledge of common-practice and contemporary orchestral repertoire is a signif= icant plus. There will be ample opportunity for collaboration of both post-docs with te= am members at McGill and with the other institutional partners (see www.act= or-project.org<http://www.actor-project.org/>). Applicants must have received their PhD within 3 years of the application d= ate. They should submit a cover letter, CV, and 3 representative papers, an= d arrange for 3 letters of reference to be sent to stephen.mcadams@xxxxxxxx= a<mailto:stephen.mcadams@xxxxxxxx>.
