Postdoctoral position in computational music analysis and machine learning, Lille, France

[Mathieu Giraud]

Dear WiMIR colleagues,

The Algomus team is recruiting a 12-month postdoctoral researcher starting in April or May 2021.
We particularly welcome applications from women and under-represented groups in music and computer science research.

Details are below and on http://www.algomus.fr/jobs.
The deadline for applications was extended to February 19. Knowledge of the French is not required.

Best regards,

Mathieu

=======

The Algomus research is in Musical Information Retrieval (MIR), more precisely in Computational Music Analysis. Collaborating with music theorists, we focus on symbolic scores of tonal music – such as in baroque, classical, romantic, jazz, pop, and dance repertoires. We aim at modeling, analyzing, visualizing, and generating music, for music theorists, musicians, music teachers, music lovers, and everyone. We combine musicological knowledge and computer science methods in text algorithmics, data mining, and machine learning. We are interested in designing explainable algorithmic and AI methods, trying to model what makes music and providing people with tools to help them to understand music.

## Open postdoctoral position

The Algomus team is seeking to recruit a 12-months post-doc position on Music Information Retrieval in the CRIStAL lab (Lille, France), starting in April or May 2021. The candidate should have defended a PhD in MIR (or have a PhD defense scheduled in the next months), preferably working on symbolic scores and with some background both in AI and in musicology.

Throughout the last years, the Algomus team worked on high-level structures such as fugue and sonata form, using and improving common MIR and AI techniques on harmony and tonality, but also on melodic patterns, texture, and polyphony. The team works in computational musical analysis but also on music co-creativity, on corpora such as string quartets, keyboard music, and nowadays orchestral scores and jazz/pop guitar tablatures.
Candidates are welcome to propose a research project in the spirit of the team, typically associated with a musical corpus, in which they feel strongly interested.
