> I'll be joining Princeton University as an assistant professor in
> Computer Science, also Music, in 2011, following the upcoming
> retirement of my advisor, Perry Cook. I'm seeking new graduate
> students who are interested in pursuing a PhD in Computer Science,
> to begin study in Autumn 2011. My work is at the intersection of
> music, HCI, and applied machine learning, and I'm looking for
> students who have an interest in one or more components of my
> research agenda, outlined below.
>
> Students will be fully funded (tuition, healthcare, plus a salary to
> live on) throughout the PhD, and they will have the opportunity to
> collaborate closely with an excellent group of faculty members,
> graduate students, and undergraduates in the Music Department.
> Students who are interested will also be able to incorporate their
> own performance, composition, and/or teaching into their research
> work. Additionally, students will have many opportunities to study
> with renowned researchers in other areas of Computer Science,
> including theoretical machine learning and computer graphics, and in
> other departments across the university. As members of my new lab,
> they will have the opportunity to shape the future of music and HCI
> research at Princeton, as well as the potential to collaborate with
> industry partners working on the state-of-the-art in music
> information retrieval, mobile music and gaming, and virtual and
> augmented reality.
>
> Prospective students should have undergraduate or Master's degrees
> in Computer Science or a closely related field, a strong interest in
> a combination of HCI, applied machine learning, and/or music, and
> the desire to pursue a research-intensive PhD in a highly ranked
> computer science graduate program. (A prior Master’s degree is not
> required, but could be helpful.) The application deadline is
> December 15th, and application information is available at http://www.cs.princeton.edu/academics/gradpgm/#prospective
> .
>
> My research agenda encompasses the following questions:
> * Can studying machine learning from an HCI perspective -- that is,
> focusing on the user experience and ways of interacting with
> software tools, as well as employing evaluation methodologies from
> HCI -- lead to better software, new application domains, and more
> effective use of machine learning algorithms?
> * How can we apply machine learning to creative applications, such
> as music composition and live performance, in new ways?
> * What new understanding, technologies, and art arise from studying
> human-computer interaction in computer music composition?
> * How can we build music information retrieval systems that are more
> appropriate for real-time performance and creative work?
> * What are the most appropriate methods for studying human-computer
> interaction in creative application domains?
> * How can computer music be used as a pedagogical tool, within CS,
> arts, and interdisciplinary curricula?
>
> More information about my research, my background, and the
> application process can be found at my website: http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~fiebrink/
> . I encourage prospective students who have questions about my
> research, studying at Princeton, or the application process to
> contact me at fiebrink(a)princeton.edu.
