Dear all,
We are happy to announce several***Doctoral and Postdoctoral Research
Fellowships *at the new*RITMO Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies in
Rhythm, Time and Motion<http://www.hf.uio.no/ritmo/english/>*at the
*University of Oslo*:
*Doctoral Research Fellowships in Artificial Intelligence on
Musical/Human/Robotic Rhythm (1-2 positions)
<https://www.jobbnorge.no/ledige-stillinger/stilling/144121/doctoral-research-fellowships-in-artificial-intelligence-on-musical-human-robotic-rhythm>_
_*The PhD fellow(s) will carry out research on artificial intelligence
methods to be used in (1) the analysis of human/musical rhythm and/or
(2) synthesis of rhythms in robotic systems. The project(s) may
therefore range from focusing more on theoretical development and
computer-based testing, to focusing more on developing machine systems
(simulation and robots) that can interact rhythmically with each other
and with humans*__*
*Doctoral Research Fellowship in Rhythm and Musical Form
<https://www.jobbnorge.no/ledige-stillinger/stilling/144227/doctoral-research-fellowship-in-rhythm-and-musical-form>_
_*The PhD fellow will carry out research into the ways in which rhythm
can work as a means of representing processes that stretch far beyond
the human ‘now’ in large-scale orchestral works (thirty minutes or
more). The aim is to study the constant structuring and restructuring
that takes place in the mind of the perceiver, encompassing moments of
perception (in the ‘now’), projection (of future events) and retention
(of past events) in the mental mapping of large-scale musical patterns.*__*
*Doctoral Research Fellowship in Musical Microrhythm in Jazz
<https://www.jobbnorge.no/ledige-stillinger/stilling/144058/doctoral-research-fellowship-in-musical-microrhythm-in-jazz>_
_*The PhD fellow will conduct research into musical microrhythm, with a
particular focus on the interaction of sound-related and temporal
features of sound at the micro level of music performance in jazz and
jazz-related musical styles. Qualitative interviews will be combined
with music analysis (auditory, transcription-based and/or using
computers), as well as perspectives from music cognition/psychology*_._**__*
*Doctoral Research Fellowship in Rhythm in Sample-based Music
<https://www.jobbnorge.no/ledige-stillinger/stilling/144061/doctoral-research-fellowship-in-rhythm-in-sample-based-music>_
_*The PhD fellow will conduct research into rhythm in hip-hop music,
with a focus on sampling and the ways in which sound manipulation and
editing operations affect our experience of rhythm and groove.
Qualitative interviews will be combined with music analysis (auditory,
transcription-based and/or using computers), as well as perspectives
from music cognition/psychology.*__*
*Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Machine Learning on Time Series
Data
<https://www.jobbnorge.no/ledige-stillinger/stilling/144122/post-doctoral-research-fellowship-in-machine-learning-on-time-series-data>_
_*The postdoctoral fellow will carry out research on novel machine
learning methods for the analysis of time series data relevant for
RITMO. This includes a large range of different data types, including
audio/video recordings, data from motion and eye tracking systems,
physiological sensors, and brain imaging.*__*
*Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Music Information Retrieval
<https://www.jobbnorge.no/ledige-stillinger/stilling/144460/post-doctoral-research-fellowship-in-music-information-retrieval>_
_*The postdoctoral fellow will carry out research in music information
retrieval on audio recordings, with a particular focus on
temporal/rhythmic structures of large-scale musical works. It will also
be relevant to combine audio-based analyses with musical score analysis
and multimodal analysis of human time series data.*__*
*Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in Neuroimaging (1-2 positions)
<https://www.jobbnorge.no/ledige-stillinger/stilling/144013/post-doctoral-research-fellowships-in-neuroimaging-1-2-positions>_
_*The postdoctoral fellow(s) will carry out research on the neural
mechanisms and systems that support and enable rhythm perception and
production in the human brain. Methodologically, the appointed
candidate(s) will be involved in subprojects using scalp
electroencephalography (EEG) and/or invasive electrocorticography
(ECoG), or fMRI concurrent with cognitive experiments.*__*
RITMO is a new Centre of Excellence funded by the Research Council of
Norway. All RITMO researchers will be co-located and work in a unique
interdisciplinary constellation, with world-leading competence in
musicology, psychology and informatics. Read more about RITMO
