Research Engineer In Interface Development Programming

A new research project is exploring the environmental (and other) impacts of using generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) for the creation of media content. We are working on developing a commercial-like online “radio station” that features audio streams of speech, music and audio content created by or with GenAI. A prototype is “Stochastic Pirate Radio” (KSPR).

Working with a diverse team of engineers, musicologists, and designers, your job will include the following tasks:

• To develop the functionality of existing KSPR computer programs, including designing graphical user interfaces and program pipelines;
• To maintain a project repository and documentation;
• To help monitor running radio programmes;
• To help organize and run workshops with team members.

This position is at 50% time over one year duration.
