We are pleased to announce an open position for a PhD student at the
Department of Computational Perception, Johannes Kepler University Linz,
Austria (www.cp.jku.at).
We are looking for a highly motivated student to work on the upcoming
EU FP7 3-year-research project
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GiantSteps -- Seven League Boots for Music Creation and Performance
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are seeking a creative and motivated PhD student with a strong background
in at least two of the following fields:
• Web Mining
• (Music) Information Retrieval
• Information Extraction
Furthermore, affinity to the following areas is an advantage:
• Electronic music (production and consumption)
• Music computing
• Machine learning
• Data representation/ontologies
• Cloud computing
Research tasks to be carried out in this position will likely include:
• Developing methods for extracting knowledge on musical styles from Web
sources
• Designing recommendation methods in the context of music creation and
performance
• Developing techniques for distributed music creation

The requirements are a Master's degree in Computer Science or a related field,
proficiency in English, interest in scientific work, good presentation skills,
flexibility in traveling, and willingness to present scientific work at
international conferences. 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 between EUR 28,000 and 36,000 per year (pre-tax, subject to
negotiation). The accepted applicant will additionally have the opportunity to
enroll in a PhD program in Computer Science at the Johannes Kepler University
Linz. Note that the JKU and GiantSteps follow an equal opportunity hiring
policy, thus, when equally qualified, we will give preference to female
applicants to balance the research team.
