Two Postdoc Positions in Algorithmic Sensing for Music and Digital Musical Instrument Design University of the West of England in United Kingdom

The Music Interaction and Computational Arts (MICA) Lab at the University of the West of England is recruiting two 24-month postdoctoral Research Fellows on the UKRI-funded Outside-In project.

1) Research Fellow in Algorithmic Sensing for Music
This role focuses on creating algorithms to detect nuanced musical interactions in real time using hand-worn wearable technology. Strong experience in signal processing and/or machine learning is encouraged.

2) Research Fellow in Digital Musical Instrument Design
This role involves planning and facilitating musical instrument co-design activities with disabled and non-disabled participants, and exploring methods for prototyping surfaces, objects, and mechanisms for music interaction. Experience in music, product design, HCI, and/or disability studies is encouraged.

Both positions are based in The Bridge Studios, UWE, and will work with project partners including x-io Technologies, MiMU, Drake Music, and the Pervasive Media Studio. The lab describes itself as an inclusive research group developing and evaluating novel technologies for creative expression.
