The Department of Music at Brown University invites applications for a one-year Postdoctoral Fellowship in multimedia and electronic music. We seek a candidate with broad interdisciplinary interests with evidence of exceptional artistic and technical promise.

A commitment to diversity and intellectual freedom has remained a hallmark of the University since its establishment. The Department of Music--with 14 faculty, 30 teaching associates, music library, and state-of-the-art music and multimedia production facilities --supports undergraduate and graduate courses in the areas of history, theory, ethnomusicology, composition, performance, computer music and multimedia.
