Interested in becoming Assistant Professor in Generative AI in Amsterdam?

Generative AI in the past decade has changed the field of artistic creativity, making us ask new questions that are relevant not only for scientific research but also for musicians and artists of all kinds. With this position, we are seeking to broaden our profile with respect to AI-assisted music generation and how AI-generated art can be positioned within the humanities and cognitive science more generally. The explosive growth of creative AI has also brought new ethical and epistemological dimensions to reflect upon, and we are looking for a colleague who can translate this reflection into both teaching and research. The ideal candidate will be somebody comfortable engaging in the ethics and implications of using AI in artistic processes regardless of medium, with more specific expertise in how AI is (and can be) used to make music.

Deadline for applications: 12 January 2023.

Interested in doing a PhD in Amsterdam?

We are seeking a PhD candidate for the project Deep: Interpreting Deep Learning Models for Text and Sound Methods and Applications. This project is funded by an NWO Dutch Research Agenda grant to a consortium led by Dr. Willem Zuidema of the Institute for Logic, Language, and Computation (ILLC) at the University of Amsterdam (UvA).

 

This ambitious project aims to develop, apply, and fine-tune techniques to make modern deep learning models for text, speech, and music more transparent. 

 

In this PhD position you can combine insights from audio analysis and deep learning to help musicians play what they love. If you are excited about doing this kind of research in an interdisciplinary environment with smart and friendly colleagues and a strong industrial collaboration, then you may want to join us.
