Subject: [MUSIC-IR] research positions at centre for digital music,
queen mary, london
To: music-ir@ircam.fr


the centre for digital music is pleased to announce two research
positions: one is for a PhD studentship and the other a salaried
research fellowship.

both positions will be in areas where the semantic web meets semantic
audio, a topic where the centre for digital music is at the forefront
of research worldwide.

the PhD position will be attached to the NEMA project, which is a
world-wide collaboration of leading labs, and which aims to integrate
the efforts of all its participating labs into one huge music
information retrieval system. stephen downie of the university of
illinois at urbana-champaign is leading this project, and there will
be other researchers in montreal, waikato, southampton and goldsmiths
(also london).  the work at queen mary will be concerned with the
music ontology (musicontology.org), publishing linked musical data on
the semantic web, and providing web services access to musical data
resources.

those interested should go to
www.elec.qmul.ac.uk/
and find a link to download PhD application forms.
the start date will be april 1, but can be sooner to suit the right
candidate.


the research fellowship is to work on the OMRAS2 project
(www.omras2.com). the position is for just over 2 years, and requires
knowledge of the state-of-the-art in Music Information Retrieval. we
are looking particularly for someone with demonstrable experience of
working on the semantic web, with RDF, and/or with logic and
inference, and need someone who is comfortable writing and
documenting code, as well as performing leading edge research.
