Research Fellowships in Artificial Intelligence on
Musical/Human/Robotic Rhythm (1-2 positions)</a><u><br>
</u></span></b><span lang="EN-US">The PhD fellow(s) will
carry out research on artificial intelligence methods to be
used in (1) the analysis of human/musical rhythm and/or (2)
synthesis of rhythms in robotic systems. The project(s) may
therefore range from focusing more on theoretical development
and computer-based testing, to focusing more on developing
machine systems (simulation and robots) that can interact
rhythmically with each other and with humans</span><b><u><span

Research Fellowship in Rhythm and Musical Form</a><u><br>
</u></span></b><span lang="EN-US">The PhD fellow will carry
out research into the ways in which rhythm can work as a means
of representing processes that stretch far beyond the human
‘now’ in large-scale orchestral works (thirty minutes or
more). The aim is to study the constant structuring and
restructuring that takes place in the mind of the perceiver,
encompassing moments of perception (in the ‘now’), projection
(of future events) and retention (of past events) in the
mental mapping of large-scale musical patterns.</span><b><u><span

Research Fellowship in Musical Microrhythm in Jazz</a><u><br>
</u></span></b><span lang="EN-US">The PhD fellow will
conduct research into musical microrhythm, with a particular
focus on the interaction of sound-related and temporal
features of sound at the micro level of music performance in
jazz and jazz-related musical styles. Qualitative interviews
will be combined with music analysis (auditory,
transcription-based and/or using computers), as well as
perspectives from music cognition/psychology<b><u>.</u></b></span><b><u><span

</u></span></b><span lang="EN-US">The PhD fellow will
conduct research into rhythm in hip-hop music, with a focus on
sampling and the ways in which sound manipulation and editing
operations affect our experience of rhythm and groove.

Data</a><u><br>
</u></span></b><span lang="EN-US">The postdoctoral fellow
will carry out research on novel machine learning methods for
the analysis of time series data relevant for RITMO. This
includes a large range of different data types, including
audio/video recordings, data from motion and eye tracking
systems, physiological sensors, and brain imaging.</span><b><u><span
