The groups of (1) Digital and Cognitive Musicology and (2) Discrete Optimization at EPFL Lausanne, Switzerland, as well as the (3) Institute for Theory and History at the Anton Bruckner Universität Linz, Austria offer several PostDoc as well as PhD positions in the scope of a joint research project.
The positions are offered within the Sinergia project “Towards a Unified Model of Musical Form: Bridging Music Theory, Digital Corpus Research, and Computation”. This collaborative and interdisciplinary project has recently been selected for funding by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) with 2.1 Mio CHF.
The primary goal of the project is to develop a generalized theory of musical form together with a robust, mathematically sound implementation that is computationally tractable, allowing for the automatic analysis of large musical corpora. The envisaged research is rooted in musicology as well as algorithm design and discrete optimization.
We invite applications for 2 PostDoc positions.
The prospective starting date is flexible around September 2024.
A PostDoc is required to have a PhD in Musicology, Music Theory, Mathematics, Music Information Retrieval, Computer Science, or some related area.
