Dear ISMIR Community,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Please consider joining us in this exciting new project called LinkedMusic (<a href="https://linkedmusic.ca" target="_blank">https://linkedmusic.ca</a>).</div>
<div>See below for the description of the two positions.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Deadline: 5 December 2022.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Please forward this announcement widely.</div>
<div><br>

<div>
<div>==============================================================</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>The LinkedMusic Project at McGill University’s Schulich School of Music seeks a postdoctoral researcher with a demonstrable interest and strengths in musical metadata to work on the creation of a metadata schema. This is a one-year position (renewable
for up to three years), starting January 2023.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>LinkedMusic (<a href="https://linkedmusic.ca/" target="_blank">https://linkedmusic.ca/</a>) is a seven-year research partnership grant funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, headed by Ichiro Fujinaga, Principal Investigator.
The aim of the LinkedMusic Project is to link music databases through metadata schemas: structures for organizing information stored in a database. The team brings together cutting-edge researchers with the digital musical resources and expertise of partner
institutions, including DIAMM, RISM, Cantus Ultimus, Global Jukebox, and MetaBrainz. The goal is a global digital music library that connects all kinds of music data and enables users to make queries across multiple databases. This will go a long way towards
bringing online music search to the same level of sophistication currently possible for text-based resources, allowing us to answer fundamental questions about music and how it interacts with human creativity, society, culture, and history.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Over the course of the project, the research team will develop tools to convert existing metadata schemas into a flexible and extensible format using Linked Data principles, in addition to creating a virtual instrument museum with Linked Data
content. The postdoctoral researcher will aid in the first phase of the project, the development of a multilingual metadata schema for music and easy-to-use, semi-automatic mapping tools to align existing metadata schemas to the new schema through a Linked
Data format. As part of their work, they will help supervise a research group of graduate and undergraduate student developers and collaborate with a variety of content teams from partner institutions.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Preferred Qualifications:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> PhD (required before start-date) in Information Science, Library Science, Musicology, or related fields</div>
<div> Experience with library cataloguing and/or music metadata</div>
<div> Experience with Linked Open Data</div>
<div> Familiarity with standard metadata schemas of music databases</div>
<div> Track record of publications and presentations in relevant fields</div>
<div> Track record of supervision of students</div>
<div> Work with large, multi-part projects or partnerships</div>
<div> Knowledge of multiple languages</div>
<div> Strong written and verbal communication skills</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Interested people should apply even if they do not feel that their background is a 100% match with the position description. All candidates will be given full consideration.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Practicalities:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The salary will be $61,000 CAD per annum with a health and dental plan. The one-year position will begin in January 2023, or as soon as the candidate is available; there is a possibility of a renewal for up to 3 years. The candidate will be full-time.
Working hours are flexible, with some obligation to participate in scheduled meetings. A shared office space will be provided to the postdoctoral researcher, as well as access to university services.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Applications should consist of:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> A brief cover letter outlining relevant experience</div>
<div> A resume</div>
<div> Additional materials (e.g., examples of previous work) are welcome, but not required</div>
<div> Candidates short-listed for an interview may be asked for two confidential reference letters</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>McGill University hires on the basis of merit and is strongly committed to equity and diversity within its community. We welcome applications from racialized persons/visible minorities, women, Indigenous persons, persons with disabilities, ethnic
minorities, and persons of minority sexual orientations and gender identities, as well as from all qualified candidates with the skills and knowledge to productively engage with diverse communities. McGill further recognizes and fairly considers the impact
of leaves (e.g., family care or health-related) that may contribute to career interruptions or slowdowns. Candidates are encouraged to signal any leave that affected productivity and may have had an effect on their career path. This information will be considered
to ensure the equitable assessment of the candidate’s record. Applicants may be citizens of any country. Though there are no restrictions regarding nationality of applicants, successful candidates must be able to meet all Canadian immigration requirements.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Materials should be addressed to Ichiro Fujinaga, but sent to Anna de Bakker, Research Associate, at
<a href="mailto:anna.debakker@mcgill.ca" target="_blank">anna.debakker@mcgill.ca</a> with the subject line: LinkedMusic Postdoctoral Researcher: Metadata. The closing date for the position is 5 December 2022.</div>
