Betreff: [ak-discourse] Postdoc (Interactive Media) @ MTU Cork School of Music
This Postdoc role involves hands-on immersive application development using Unity or Unreal with advanced audio integration for immersive design. Based in MTU’s state-of-the-art creative digital media and spatial audio labs, concert halls, XR facilities, and visual arts and music spaces, the postdoc will apply game engine expertise to create next-generation cultural heritage experiences. We welcome applicants with PhDs from across disciplines — including Game Design, Creative Digital Media, Music Technology, User Experience, Computing and Engineering etc. — who can demonstrate strong immersive media and user-centred development skills.
Based in the newly formed Faculty of Creative and Performing Arts & Media (CPAM) the successful applicant will lead activities, including the technical development of a 3D immersive application for cultural heritage sites and ensuring technological sustainability of any developed solution. The successful applicant will also be a key contributor in dissemination activities, future funding proposals and stakeholders. Building on existing research at MTU, the project will explore the potential of audio to enhance interactive and immersive experiences and explore how sound can be used to create inclusive, engaging and immersive experiences in a variety of contexts, from museum installations to public spaces and virtual worlds. The project aims to push the boundaries of digital storytelling and immersive design, fostering new ways of experiencing historical and cultural environments through cutting-edge technology.
