A permanent, full-time position as Senior Engineer is available at the RITMO Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies in Rhythm, Time and Motion at the University of Oslo, Norway. The appointed engineer will be part of a small support team working between labs, but with main responsibility for the fourMs Lab. This is a world-class facility with advanced motion capture systems (Qualisys, Xsens, etc.) and sound spatialisation systems.
RITMO is a Centre of Excellence funded by the Research Council of Norway, and focuses on rhythm as a structuring mechanism for the temporal dimensions of human life. RITMO researchers work in a unique interdisciplinary constellation, with world-leading competence in musicology, psychology and informatics. The researchers have access to state-of-the-art facilities in sound/video recording, motion capture, eye tracking, physiological measurements, various types of brain imaging (EEG, fMRI), and rapid prototyping and robotics laboratories.
