Phd Student, Department of Music Acoustics

vor 2 Wochen

Wien, Österreich Emprego AT Vollzeit

The Department of Music Acoustics - Wiener Klangstil (IWK) at the mdw - University of Music and performing Arts Vienna seeks a PhD student to work on the project "The bowed string. Experimental and numerical investigations of playing techniques in bowed-string instruments", funded by the Austrian Science Fund FWF.

The main goal of the project is to analyse the playing technique in bowed-string instruments by means of experiments with artificial and human players and computer simulations. We aim at investigating the player control over the bowed-string instrument in terms of the interactions taking place at the excitation mechanism. The analysis will take place by monitoring the actions of musicians (using motion-capture technology), measuring relevant physical variables, instructing a robotic arm to excite an instrument using a bow and formulating a physical model to simulate the bow-string interaction.

**Salary**: According to the Austrian collective labour agreement, the monthly gross pay is at a minimum € 2.293,95 (14 times), in case of job-related former experience a gross pay of € 2.719,40 (at a maximum) is possible.

Selection process

Applicants should send:

- a letter of motivation
- a CV (also naming a couple of potential referees)

The University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna is committed to the equal treatment of all qualified applicants regardless of sex, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion, world-view, age, or disability.
