the centre for digital music is pleased to announce two research positions: one is for a PhD studentship and the other a salaried research fellowship. both positions will be in areas where the semantic web meets semantic audio,a topic where the centre for digital music is at the forefront of research worldwide. the PhD position will be attached to the NEMA project, which is a world-wide collaboration of leading labs, and which aims to integrate the efforts of all its participating labs into one huge music information retrieval system. stephen downie of the university of illinois at urbana-champaign is leading this project, and there will be other researchers in montreal, waikato, southampton and goldsmiths (also london). the work at queen mary will be concerned with the music ontology (musicontology.org), publishing linked musical data on the semantic web, and providing web services access to musical data resources. those interested should go to www.elec.qmul.ac.uk/ and find a link to download PhD application forms. the start date will be april 1, but can be sooner to suit the right candidate. the research fellowship is to work on the OMRAS2 project (www.omras2.com). the position is for just over 2 years, and requires knowledge of the state-of-the-art in Music Information Retrieval. we are looking particularly for someone with demonstrable experience of working on the semantic web, with RDF, and/or with logic and inference, and need someone who is comfortable writing and documenting code, as well as performing leading edge research. further details are available at http://webapps.qmul.ac.uk/hr/vacancies/jobs.php?id=532 I will try to answer queries about these posts, and would prefer that you phone me to discuss on +44 (0) 20 7882 7680 best wishes mark sandler director of the centre for digital music _______________________________________________ ____ _ _ ___ _ _ ____ ___ ___ |___ \/ |__] \_/ |___ / |__] |___ _/\_ | | |___ /__ | Expyezp mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slow.tk/listinfo.cgi/expyezp-slow.tk
