The Department of Music Acoustics – Wiener Klangstil (IWK) at the mdw – University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna is offering the position of a Research Associate (doctoral student or post-doctoral researcher)
The successful candidate will work on the project entitled “Quantifying the Signature Sound of the Vienna Philharmonic’s New Year’s Concerts” (Signature Sound Vienna), funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) and led by Dr. David M. Weigl in collaboration with Prof.
Werner Goebl (IWK), and Profs.
Markus Grassl and Fritz Trümpi (IMI). This project will generate musicological hypotheses pertaining to the renowned New Year’s Concert series and test them using empirical methodologies, finding traces of the influence of the orchestra, conductor, and other contextual factors on historical performance recordings, by means of score-informed audio feature extraction technologies. The project will involve close interdisciplinary collaboration between historical musicology, performance studies, and music informatics, and will also feature a strong emphasis on digital means of disseminating findings to scholarly and lay audiences. We are seeking a candidate with musicological and historical competences, and an openness to collaborate within an interdisciplinary digital musicology context.
