Two 2-year postdoctoral positions are available at the Schulich School of Music of McGill University. The postdoctoral fellows (PDFs) will work within an international, interdisciplinary partnership directed by Prof. Stephen McAdams, and including McGill faculty members in composition (Denys Bouliane, Philippe Leroux), music theory (Robert Hasegawa, Nicole Biamonte, Christoph Neidhöfer), sound recording (Martha de Francisco), music technology (Philippe Depalle, Ichiro Fujinaga, Stephen McAdams), and conducting (Guillaume Bourgogne). The ACTOR Partnership proposes to bring the often-neglected topics of timbre and orchestration to the forefront of musical scholarship and practice through a collaboration including world-class artists, scholars, and scientists.
The PDFs will be co-supervised by Stephen McAdams, ACTOR Director and Robert Hasegawa, ACTOR Associate Director. They will work primarily on either the Analysis Axis or the Output Innovation Axis, and will be involved in project coordination and research on orchestration in the fields of music theory, musicology, orchestration pedagogy, and composition. They will participate in the development of methods for evaluating the impact of this research in those domains and will co-supervise graduate and undergraduate students. There will be ample opportunity for collaboration with team members at McGill and with the other institutional partners.
Applicants must have received their doctorate (PhD, DMA, DMus) within 3 years of the starting date of the fellowship. They should submit a cover letter, CV, and 3 representative papers (or 2 papers and a composition for the Output Innovation Axis PDF) and arrange for 3 letters of reference to be sent to actor-project.music -at- mcgill.ca. Applications will be reviewed as of April 15, 2022 until the position is filled. The ideal start date is August 1, 2022 to provide overlap with the incumbent PDFs, but September 1, 2022 is the latest start date. The successful candidates will receive a stipend of $46,360/year for two years (non-renewable) and may attend the Year 4 ACTOR Workshop in Calgary, Alberta 9-11 July 2022. For further details on the ACTOR Partnership to decide if this PDF is a good fit for you, please contact Stephen McAdams (stephen.mcadams -at- mcgill.ca) and Robert Hasegawa (robert.hasegawa -at- mcgill.ca).
