Postdoc in digital musical instrument design, Imperial College London

[Andrew McPherson]

Hi everyone,

The Augmented Instruments Lab at Imperial College London is hiring a postdoctoral researcher in digital musical instrument design.

This is a 2-year position which is part of the ERC/UKRI Consolidator Grant "RUDIMENTS: Reflective Understanding of Digital Instruments as Musical Entanglements", which examines the values, opportunities, risks and challenges of designing new musical instruments incorporating embedded computing and artificial intelligence.

The role focuses on the technical foundations of digital musical instrument design, including sensors, embedded hardware, signal processing and acoustic/mechanical design. The successful candidate will be technically proficient in design or engineering skills but also capable of situating their work in a broader cultural and creative context. The ideal candidate will have both technical and musical experience and will have prior experience working in a multidisciplinary team to create musical instruments.

Best wishes,
