GRAME is a research center for contemporary music sponsored by the French Ministry of Culture. Its R&D activities in computer-music are devoted to promoting new approaches and new tools for musicians. One of our two research areas is concerned with formal languages for musical notation and composition. Its objectives are:
Several compositional languages (MidiLogo 1984, MidiLisp 1986, CLCE 1991) come from these works. We are now seeking for a computer science researcher with extensive background in formal definition, semantics and theory of programming languages, especially lambda-calculus and functional programming, to work with us on the theoretical definition of a time based language currently in progress.
This post may apply to the Bc part of the European COMETT program for a duration between 2 and 6 months. This program is intended for promoting cooperation between universities and enterprises and to encourage training in advanced technologies. It concern only countries of the European Community (EC) or European Free Trade Association (EFTA). Thus, this proposal purpose is mainly educational. It must take shape with an agreement between the university and GRAME. All expenses related to this exchange (traveling expenses, accommodation, etc.) are on charge of GRAME. Applications including a C.V. addressing the above points and availability should be sent to GRAME as soon as possible.
