Karen Desmond’s research team on the project “Polyphonic Singing and Communities of Music Writing in Medieval Britain and Ireland, c. 1150 to c. 1350” (BROKENSONG) (funded by a 5-year ERC Consolidator Grant). For this postdoctoral position, we seek a candidate
with a background in Computational Musicology, Digital Humanities, or related fields. The candidate should have programming experience working with systems and standards related to the encoding, presentation, and analysis of humanities data, preferably experienced
with image and/or music data.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-ligatures:standardcontextual"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:inherit;color:black;mso-ligatures:standardcontextual">The Postdoctoral Researcher recruited for this position will primarily work on the first phase of the project, titled “Reconstructing the repertoire”.
Fragmentary and damaged, a large portion of the music once copied the insular manuscripts from c. 1150 to c. 1350 is now incomplete, and most of it was omitted from the current scholarly editions. In addition to recovering the content on these damaged and
incomplete fragments using techniques such as MSI, and digitally encoding every notational glyph, features of the manuscript layout, and the orthography of the underlaid texts including their punctuation, another primary activity of this first phase of the
project will be to reconstruct the missing portions of the compositions. The primary output of this phase is an innovative ‘born-digital’ scholarly edition that will present interactive reconstructions of these works alongside the enhanced manuscript images
for use by scholars and performers, providing an exemplar for future digital music editions, which integrates image, sound, encoding, and context. In addition, the data captured in this phase will inform the analysis of the third phase of the project (Years
4-5) that seeks to understand the relationship of notational systems and musical style to specific regions, repertoires, communities, and individuals. The postdoctoral researcher will have a budget p.a. for research travel related expenses.
