We are pleased to announce one open research position at the Ph.D. student level at the Department of Computational Perception of the Johannes
Kepler University Linz, Austria. We are looking for a highly motivated student to work in the exciting EU-FP7 research project
PHENICX: Performances as Highly Enriched aNd Interactive Concert eXperiences
For this project, we are
seeking a creative and motivated Ph.D. student with a strong background
in at least two of the following fields:
- signal processing, in particular, music/audio feature extraction
- machine learning, in particular, auto-tagging
- web mining, in particular, information extraction
Research tasks to be carried out in this position include, but are not limited to:
- elaborate novel methods for auto-tagging on segments of music pieces as well as on entire pieces
- extend
existing and develop novel methods for web information extraction, in
particular to automatically identify and crawl music-related web pages,
and to extract multimedia items related to composers, performers,
instruments, pieces, etc.
Preference
will be given to candidates who combine expertise in several fields
mentioned above and who have already worked in these fields in the
context of the music domain, which is proven by a track record of
relevant publications. Further requirements are excellent (oral and
writing) skills in English, interest in scientific work, good
presentation skills, willingness to attend project meetings abroad and
to present scientific work at international conferences. The candidate
should also show a certain interest in music. No knowledge of
particular programming languages is required, but the candidate is
expected to quickly learn and apply new technologies.
The successful applicant will be allowed to work in a creative environment within an excellent research team.
The
salary will be about EUR 35,000 per year (pre-tax). The accepted
applicant will further have the opportunity to enroll in a PhD program
in computer science at the Johannes Kepler University, Linz.
The employment can start as soon as possible and will last until the end of the project, i.e. January 2016 (including a 6 month probation period).
Please
send your application including CV, list of publications, one or two
