<p>Applications are invited for a fully-funded PhD
studentship in the areas of Semantic Audio and Intelligent Music
Production to seek novel ways of interacting with audio in music
production, particularly in the recording studio. Topics of interest
include but not limited to: intelligent audio editing, feature
extraction at source exploiting multitrack recordings, Semantic Web
ontologies and ontology-based information management in music
production. The research will involve working at the intersection of
digital signal processing, machine learning, formal knowledge
representation and human-computer interaction. </p>
<p><strong>All nationalities</strong> are eligible to apply for this
studentship, which will start in Autumn 2015. The studentship is for
three years, and covers student fees as well as a tax-free stipend of
£16,057 per annum.</p>
<p>Candidates must have a first-class honours degree or equivalent, or a
good MSc Degree in Computer Science, Electronic Engineering, Sound and
Music Computing or equivalent. Candidates should be confident in digital
signal processing, machine learning, and/or knowledge representation
and logic-based reasoning. Programming experience e.g. in Python,
MATLAB, Prolog, Lisp, R, C/C++, Java or similar is essential. Prior
experience in sound engineering and web technologies are welcome. An
existing track record of publications and experience in music software
development are very advantageous. </p>
<p>The PhD supervisors will be Dr Gyorgy Fazekas and Prof Mark Sandler.
The project will be based in the School of Electronic Engineering and
Computer Science, and the student will become a member of the
interdisciplinary Centre for Digital Music (C4DM).</p>
<p>Informal enquiries can be made by email to Dr Fazekas (<a href="mailto:b.sturm@qmul.ac.uk">g.fazekas@qmul.ac.uk</a>).</p>
<p>To apply, please follow the on-line process at (<a href="http://www.qmul.ac.uk/postgraduate/applyresearchdegrees/index.html">http://www.qmul.ac.uk/postgraduate/applyresearchdegrees/index.html</a>)
click on list of Research Degree Subjects and select ‘Electronic
Engineering’ in the ‘A-Z list of research opportunities’ and following
the instructions on the right-hand side of the web page.</p>
<p><strong>Please note</strong> that instead of the ‘Research Proposal’
we request a ‘Statement of Research Interests’. Your statement should
answer two questions: (i) Why are you interested in the topic(s)
described above? (ii) What relevant experience do you have? Your
statement should be brief: no more than 500 words or one side of A4
paper. In addition we would also like you to send a sample of your
written work. This might be a chapter of your final year dissertation,
or a published conference or journal paper. More details can be found
