About this position

The Instituto Complutense de Ciencias Musicales (ICCMU) is offering a predoctoral position integrated into Spanish Early Music Manuscripts III (SEMM III), a project devoted to the preservation, cataloguing, and scholarly study of medieval Spanish liturgical music. The successful candidate will develop a doctoral dissertation within the project, contributing directly to the SEMM digital infrastructure and its connection with the international Cantus Index network.

The research will focus on Iberian medieval chant sources and their historical manuscript traditions. The project combines codicological description, neumatic and paleographical analysis, melodic indexing, and the development of standardized chant taxonomy for materials such as antiphoners, breviaries, graduals, and other liturgical compilations. A major part of the work is situated at the intersection of music history and digital humanities, where manuscript scholarship is linked to encoding and computational analysis.

The SEMM III environment is explicitly interdisciplinary and collaborative. It brings together specialists from ICCMU and partner academic institutions, and it is grounded in an open-access database initiative founded in 2015. The selected researcher will work with medieval musical notation traditions including Hispanic/Visigothic, Silense, Aquitanian, Catalan, and square notation, and will contribute to the curation and quality control of metadata in the SEMM platform.

Day-to-day activities include archival examination of manuscripts from ecclesiastical and public archives, transcription and palaeographical work, critical use of scholarly literature in several European languages, and reading of liturgical medieval Latin texts. The position also involves digital tools for indexing, musical edition, MEI and Volpiano encoding, HTR models, and comparative chant analysis, alongside participation in seminars, outreach, and project coordination support.

The scientific direction of the project is led by Carmen Julia Gutiérrez González and Santiago Ruiz Torres at the ICCMU in Madrid.
