Dear Colleagues,

SPbSU once again announces well-paid TCS and math positions in their new program.
Don't miss this possibility to teach exceptionally bright and very motivated students!
The deadline is February 15.

Please spread this among interested colleagues both in Russia and abroad
(teaching in Russian is required).

Apologies for multiple postings.

Best regards,
Edward Hirsch

Associate Professor positions

The St.Petersburg State University seeks to hire Associate Professors
(= Docents) for advanced teaching within the new Mathematics and
Theoretical Computer Science program. The Scientific Council of this
program is headed by Stanislav Smirnov. Four full-time positions are
presently announced for 2017:

* 1 Docent (= Associate Professor) in Mathematical Logic, Theoretical
Computer Science, and Discrete Mathematics,
* 3 Docents (= Associate Professors) in Mathematics.

The program is very selective, admission is limited to 45 top students
per year, the first two enrollments (2015 and 2016) are first rate. In
particular, more winners of the all-Russian mathematical Olympiad
joined our program than any other such similar program in Russia.

Applicants are expected to have a strong research record and to be
able to teach in Russian (teaching experience in English is an
advantage). The winners are expected to carry out research of high
professional standard, teach up to 8 academic hours (= 6 astronomic
hours) per week, as well as customary administrative duties such as
advising students, participating in committees, organizing admissions,
etc.

The guaranteed salary starts with 121,980 rub/month, the actual salary
is subject to negotiations, depending on the applicant's
qualifications. Applicants from outside St. Petersburg will get
one-time moving compensation.

The details of the application procedure can be found at
http://spbu.ru/about-us/vacancies/9-vacancies/28049-matematika-16-01-2017.html

In addition to the formal application sent according to the above
document, all applicants are invited to send an copy of their CV to
Maria Rossomakhina <chebyshev.apply@gmail.com> , mentioning any of the
details that could be relevant for the work of the selection
committee, such as, for instance, the names of PhD students they
supervised, if any, etc.

The minimum requirements for the positions are as follows:

- at least four refereed publications (math positions: according to
MathSciNet and Scopus, DM/TCS/ML positions: according to
MathSciNet/DBLP and Scopus) in the last five years;

- the degree of Ph. D. (foreign) or Cand. Sci. (Russian);

- at least three years of experience in research or teaching
(excluding Ph. D. studies but including work on research
projects/grants, even unpaid).

As mentioned above, responsibilities include lectures and seminars,
advising BSc, MSc and PhD students. Typical basic subjects that
successful applicants are expected to teach:
* ML/TCS/DM positions: discrete mathematics and combinatorics,
mathematical logic, algorithms, complexity theory,
* math positions: algebra, analysis, geometry and topology, probability theory.
As the program evolves, there will be need to cover also more advanced
(graduate) courses.

Applications and questions on formalities should be sent to personnel
officer Olga Ivanova <o.a.ivanova@spbu.ru>
Less formal questions should be sent to Maria Rossomakhina
<chebyshev.apply@gmail.com> who can also provide templates for the
formal documents to be submitted to the personnel officer.
Please check that your documents are processed normally (and not lost!) by visiting
http://spbu.ru/about-us/vacancies/9-vacancies/28049-matematika-16-01-2017.html
a couple of days after sending them.

International Workshop on Deep Learning for Music

In conjunction with the 2017 International Joint Conference on Neural
Networks

(IJCNN 2017))

14-19 May (1 day), Anchorage

More info <http://dorienherremans.com/dlm2017/>

There has been tremendous interest in deep learning across many fields of
study. Recently, these techniques have gained popularity in the field of
music. Projects such as Magenta (Google's Brain Team's music generation
project), Jukedeck and others testify to their potential.

While humans can rely on their intuitive understanding of musical patterns
and the relationships between them, it remains a challenging task for
computers to capture and quantify musical structures. Recently, researchers
have attempted to use deep learning models to learn features and
relationships that allow us to accomplish tasks in music transcription,
audio feature extraction, emotion recognition, music recommendation, and
automated music generation.

With this workshop we aim to advance the state-of-the-art in machine
intelligence for music by bringing together researchers in the field of
music and deep learning. This will enable us to critically review and
discuss cutting-edge-research so as to identify grand challenges, effective
methodologies, and potential new applications.


Topics

Papers and abstracts on the application of deep learning techniques on
music are welcomed, including but not limited to:

-

Deep learning applications for computational music research
-

Modeling hierarchical and long term music structures using deep learning
-

Modeling ambiguity and preference in music
-

Software frameworks and tools for deep learning in music

More info <http://dorienherremans.com/dlm2017/>

Invited speakers

Invited speakers include Dr. Oriol Nieto (*Pandora*), Prof. Dr. Douglas Eck
(the Head of the *Google* Magenta team) (tentatively confirmed), and Dr.
