We seek a candidate whose research combines creative practice with technological innovation and who is poised to make novel contributions to human/machine music-making, signal processing, and instrument and interface design. We are particularly interested in Fellows whose scholarship can build upon and expand relationships among the Brandeis Electro-Acoustic Music Studio (BEAMS), the MakerLab, our Sound and Image Media Studio, the Automation Lab, and growing Engineering facilities, and will showcase the intersections of music and engineering in public-facing events. Candidates must demonstrate a high degree of familiarity with music technology, electronic music composition, and relevant engineering principles and must hold a Ph.D. in one of the associated fields by the date of appointment. Applicants should submit a cover letter, CV, personal statement, list of works and performances (if relevant), the names and contact information for three referees, and one example of work that demonstrates the candidate’s approach to blending art and technology. The personal statement should address the applicant’s aspirations for research, teaching, and community or public engagement around the intersection of music and engineering, focusing on what they seek to accomplish during the two-year fellowship (no more than five pages, although shorter is acceptable). Only online applications will be accepted. Application materials may be uploaded here: https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/33084.

First consideration will be given to applications received by December 15, 2026. 

Questions about the position can be directed to the Search Committee Co-chairs, Prof. Brad Garvey (bradfordgarvey@brandeis.edu) and Prof. Jonathan Krones (jskrones@brandeis.edu).
