Subject: [ISMIR-Community] 2 post-docs on orchestration research From: "Stephen McAdams, Prof." <stephen.mcadams@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 1 Feb 2022 20:41:37 +0000 --Apple-Mail=_110B09E8-A982-4797-A6FC-733FDEEF9D93 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="Apple-Mail=_3991F3B3-F7AF-4C0B-BFDC-CD152DCF72D2" --Apple-Mail=_3991F3B3-F7AF-4C0B-BFDC-CD152DCF72D2 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Postdoctoral Fellow positions: Analysis, creation and teaching of orchestra= tion (ACTOR) Two 2-year postdoctoral positions are available at the Schulich School of M= usic <http://www.mcgill.ca/music> of McGill University. The postdoctoral fe= llows (PDFs) will work within an international, interdisciplinary partnersh= ip directed by Prof. Stephen McAdams, and including McGill faculty members = in composition (Denys Bouliane, Philippe Leroux), music theory (Robert Hase= gawa, Nicole Biamonte), sound recording (Martha de Francisco), music techno= logy (Philippe Depalle, Ichiro Fujinaga, Stephen McAdams), and conducting (= Guillaume Bourgogne). The ACTOR Partnership proposes to bring the often-neg= lected topics of timbre and orchestration to the forefront of musical schol= arship and practice through a collaboration including world-class artists, = scholars, and scientists. <>This Partnership links major North American an= d European universities, conservatories, research centres, orchestras, and = companies to develop a solid theoretical basis for orchestration practice a= nd pedagogy, to stimulate the development of new creativity-enhancing digit= al tools for teaching and learning orchestration, <>and to apply tools of = corpus analysis and machine learning to better understand orchestration pra= ctice in over four centuries of music. The partnership is organized into th= ree primary research axes: 1) Analysis Axis =E2=80=93 score, text, audio, p= erception and performance analysis of orchestration practice and interpreta= tion, 2) Tool Development Axis =E2=80=93 development of computer-aided orch= estration and orchestral simulation environments, an orchestration research= database, and an online interactive orchestration resource, 3) Output Inno= vation Axis =E2=80=93 applying the analysis-based research and tools to inn= ovation in orchestration pedagogy, music scholarship and composition. The post-doctoral researchers will work primarily on either the Analysis Ax= is or the Output Innovation Axis. They will be involved in project coordina= tion and research on orchestration in the fields of music theory, musicolog= y, orchestration pedagogy, and compositional practice. They will participat= e in the development of methods for evaluating the impact of this research = in those domains and will co-supervise graduate and undergraduate students. =C2=B7 Output Innovation Axis PDF: The ideal candidate will have a doc= toral degree in music theory, musicology, or composition, with a strong bac= kground in orchestration and an interest in pedagogical innovation. A deep = knowledge of common-practice and contemporary orchestral repertoire is a si= gnificant plus. Additional tasks include being co-chair of the ACTOR Traini= ng and Mentoring Committee, coordinating development of the Timbre and Orch= estration Resource <https://www.actorproject.org/tor>, co-organizing the hy= brid (virtual/in-person) ACTOR Symposium semi-annually, contributing to the= annual ACTOR Workshops, and communicating with specialist and general audi= ences (including dissemination through social media and blog posts). Abilit= y to communicate fluently in French is an asset. =C2=B7 Analysis Axis PDF: The ideal candidate will have a doctoral deg= ree in music theory, music psychology, or music-related computer science, w= ith a strong background in orchestration and an interest in interdisciplina= ry innovation. A deep knowledge of common-practice and contemporary orchest= ral repertoire is a significant plus. Additional tasks include being a memb= er of the ACTOR Executive Committee, sitting in the Knowledge and Mobilizat= ion Committee as the ACTOR Newsletter Editor (ex-officio), coordinating dev= elopment of the Timbre and Orchestration Resource, co-organizing the hybrid= (virtual/in-person) ACTOR Symposium semi-annually, contributing to the ann= ual ACTOR Workshops, and communicating with specialist and general audience= s (including dissemination through social media and blog posts).

The PDF will be co-supervised= by Robert Hasegawa, ACTOR Associate Director, and Stephen McAdams, ACTOR D= irector. Applicants must have received their doctorate (PhD, DMA, DMus) within 3 yea= rs of the starting date of the fellowship. They should submit a cover lette= r, CV, and 3 representative papers (or 2 papers and a composition for the O= utput Innovation Axis PDF), and arrange for 3 letters of reference to be se= nt to actor-project.music@xxxxxxxx <mailto:actor-project.music@xxxxxxxx>.= Applications will be reviewed as of April 15, 2022 until the position is f= illed. The ideal start date is August 1, 2022 to provide overlap with the i= ncumbent PDFs, but September 1, 2022 is the latest start date. The successf= ul candidates will receive a stipend of $46,360/year for two years (non-ren= ewable) and may attend the Year 4 ACTOR Workshop in Calgary, Alberta 9-11 J= uly 2022.
