The successful candidate will teach undergraduate and, as appropriate, graduate courses with an emphasis on engineering technology for applications in music and audio, including topics such as audio signal processing, human-computer interaction, user interface design, embedded and real-time systems, software development, measurement and analysis, and spatial audio. The ideal candidate will lead the development of new courses and learning experiences in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning for audio and music platforms.

Virginia Tech’s Music Technology area is growing and features advanced studio and lab resources supporting spatial audio (e.g., 7.1.4 Atmos-capable monitoring, 24.2 Dante), critical listening, acoustics, and project-based learning. The program offers multiple degree pathways and hands-on experiences, providing the environment for engineering-forward pedagogy and research that bridges the arts and technology.
