The project opens the possibility to=20 work for 2 years into the design and execution of:=C2=A0 a) experiments w= ith=20 human listeners; b) annotation campaigns to improve predictive=20 algorithms of human listeners perception of music in audiovisual=20 contexts; and c) predictive modelling of listening thresholds, under=20 different conditions, using deep learning. The overall required=20 dedication is 75% of a full-time schedule, but this amount of dedication=20 can be partially modulated according to the project and the candidate=20 requirements. We can also be flexible about the requirements of physical=20 presence although, ideally, the candidate should be able to work in=20 Barcelona, at the MTG. The MTG contribution will be supervised by=20 Perfecto Herrera with the collaboration of BMAT researchers and developer= s. *Starting date: *April**2021 *Required skills/qualifications:* We seek candidates with a background allowing them to carry on research=C2= =A0=20 on perceptual processes in applied contexts and, additionally, their=20 computational modelling.
