<p>Dear all, <br>
<br>
A Doctoral Research Fellowship in Sound and Music Computing is
available at the University of Oslo:<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.jobbnorge.no/en/available-jobs/job/148855/">https://www.jobbnorge.no/en/available-jobs/job/148855/</a><br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>Deadline: 04.04.2018</li>
<li>Start date: September 2018</li>
<li>Duration: 3+1 year</li>
<li>Salary: 436-490 900 NOK</li>
</ul>
<p>The fellowship is connected to the new <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://nordicsmc.create.aau.dk/">Nordic Sound and Music
Computing Network</a> (NordicSMC) funded by the Nordic Research
Council. This network brings together a group of internationally
leading sound and music computing researchers from institutions in
five Nordic countries: Aalborg University, Aalto University, KTH
Royal Institute of Technology, University of Iceland, and
University of Oslo. The network covers the field of sound and
music from the “soft” to the “hard,” including the arts and
humanities, and the social and natural sciences, as well as
engineering, and involves a high level of technological
competency.<br>
<br>
We invite PhD proposals that focus on sound/music interaction with
periodic/rhythmic human body motion (walking, running, training,
etc.). The appointed candidate is expected to carry out
observation studies of human body motion in real-life settings,
using different types of mobile motion capture systems (full-body
suit and individual trackers). Results from the analysis of these
observation studies should form the basis for the development of
prototype systems for using such periodic/rhythmic motion in
musical interaction.<br>
<br>
The appointed candidate will benefit from the combined expertise
within the NordicSMC network, and is expected to carry out one or
more short-term scientific missions to the other partners. At UiO,
the candidate will be affiliated with <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.hf.uio.no/ritmo/english/">RITMO Centre for
Interdisciplinary Studies in Rhythm, Time and Motion</a>. This
interdisciplinary centre focuses on rhythm as a structuring
mechanism for the temporal dimensions of human life. RITMO
researchers span the fields of musicology, psychology and
informatics, and have access to state-of-the-art facilities in
sound/video recording, motion capture, eye tracking, physiological
measurements, various types of brain imaging (EEG, fMRI), and
rapid prototyping and robotics laboratories.<br>
<br>
Qualification requirements<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>A Master's Degree or equivalent in sound and music computing,
music technology, computer science, or other relevant field. The
applicant is required to document that the degree corresponds to
the profile for the post. The Master's Degree must have been
obtained by the time of application.</li>
<li>Experience with development of real-time sound and music
systems (Max, PD, SuperCollider, or similar)</li>
<li>Excellent skills in written and oral English</li>
<li>Personal suitability and motivation for the position</li>
</ul>

through your networks and forward to relevant candidates. </span>Apologies
for cross posting.</span><br>
