Postdoc position at McGill in sound synthesis
Music Technology Area Schulich School of Music McGill University
- 1 year postdoc position in sound synthesis
- salary: $35,000 CAD
- starting date: Summer or Fall 2007
We are now seeking applications for a full-time, one-year postdoctoral position associated with a recently awarded grant from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) titled "Haptics, Sound and Interaction in the Design of Enactive Interfaces". This grant allows increased participation by our McGill team of researchers in the ENACTIVE Network (https:// www.enactivenetwork.org/), a VIth Framework European project.
Specific responsibilities will include the design of efficient algorithms for the synthesis of interacting mechanical objects (colliding, scraping and sliding) for real-time parametric control. As well, the candidate will need to integrate the real- time synthesis system with haptic systems for subsequent perceptual validations of multi-modal environments.
Previous experience with signal processing and C/C++ programming is necessary.
Applicants should send a CV to:
Gary P. Scavone Assistant Professor Music Technology Area Chair Schulich School of Music McGill University ph: 514-398-4535, x-089834 www.music.mcgill.ca/~gary/

If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of everyone, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it. - Thomas Jefferson
