Dear community, 


The Google PhD fellowship programs are currently accepting applications in South East Asia. Apply before 8 May for this prestigious fellowship. 


The Audio, Music, and AI (AMAAI) Lab at SUTD invites strong candidates to apply to the program for enrollment at Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD). SUTD is a relatively new university, founded in collaboration with MIT. You will be supervised by Prof. Dorien Herremans (dorienherremans.com). 


The Google PhD Fellowship Program aims to recognize outstanding graduate students doing exceptional and innovative research in areas relevant to computer science and related fields. Fellowships support promising PhD candidates of all backgrounds who seek to influence the future of technology. Applications close on May 8, 2024.


The AMAAI lab is engaged in cutting-edge research at the intersection of music, audio, and artificial intelligence. Our PhD students contribute to groundbreaking projects that explore areas such as:

  • Generative Music AI: We investigate the design of intelligent systems such as Mustango text-to-music.

  • Music Information Retrieval: We design algorithms capable of navigating vast music libraries based on complex criteria such as mood, genre, or even specific emotions conveyed by the music.

  • AI Music Production: We explore the creation of AI assistants that can produce professional-quality music arrangements or remixes tailored to an individual's preferences.

  • Affective Computing for Music


A PhD in the AMAAI lab offers a unique opportunity to:

  • Conduct research at the forefront of a rapidly developing field with the potential to significantly impact the future of music creation and interaction.

  • Gain experience in presenting research at top academic conferences and publishing groundbreaking papers in prestigious journals.

  • Potentially forge collaborations with leading figures in the music industry.


The ideal candidate will possess:

  • A strong academic background in computer science, electrical engineering, music information retrieval, or a related field.

  • A demonstrated passion for music and a keen interest in artificial intelligence.

  • Excellent programming skills and experience with relevant machine learning libraries (PyTorch etc).

  • The ability to work independently while also thriving in a collaborative research environment.

  • Strong communication and writing skills.


Candidates with a hands-on, proactive approach and problem-solving skills are strongly encouraged to apply. Given the design-centered approach at SUTD, the focus during the PhD will not only be on high-quality publications, but also on designing practical applications.
