<span style="font-family:Helvetica;color:#2C2628">The Music Department at Maynooth University invites applications for a 22-month position as a Senior Postdoctoral Fellow to work with Professor 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,
computer science, artificial intelligence, mathematics/statistics, with a PhD in one of these fields or a closely related field. The candidate should have several years of demonstrated programming experience, preferably post PhD, in relevant programming languages
such as Python, scripting languages (Javascript, Typescript), and/or XML and XSLT, and have worked with systems and standards related to the encoding, presentation, and management of humanities data, with a preference for those experienced with the xml-based
encoding standards for image and/or music data (MEI, IIIF), or that they can quickly become proficient in these areas.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-family:Helvetica;color:#2C2628">The BROKENSONG project examines singing in medieval Britain and Ireland during a transformative period of western music history, c. 1150-1350. In the initial phase the project team will work together to digitally
encode approximately 600 music compositions copied on over 120 fragmentary music manuscripts, and the ensuing phase will analyse this data. The project will reconstruct a lost vibrant musical culture, contextualizing their music with their communities or practice.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
