Music Perception: an interdisciplinary journal is seeking applicants to fill several Associate Editor vacancies.
Music Perception (MP) publishes theory-driven basic and applied science, empirical reports, theoretical papers, and reviews. The journal’s scope concerns the perception and cognition of music in composing, improvising, playing, performing, recalling, recognizing, teaching, learning and responding to music through single or multiple modalities. MP draws from a range of disciplines and interdisciplinary teams, including psychology, music, cognitive neuroscience, music theory, acoustics, linguistics, philosophy, anthropology, cognitive science, computer science, speech science, corpus studies, and data science.
Associate Editors are expected to handle approximately 10 manuscripts per year for MP in the process of making decision recommendations to Editor David Sears. Appointments are for the duration of 3 years starting October 14, 2024, and Associate Editors will receive a complimentary electronic subscription to MP.
This call is open to applicants with relevant expertise in any specialization of music perception and cognition. To complement the expertise of the current editorial board, MP is particularly interested in applicants with a background in music information retrieval (MIR), corpus studies, cross-cultural research, auditory scene analysis, timbre studies, music education, or music performance. International applicants and applicants with expertise in nonwestern or otherwise underrepresented musical traditions are also especially encouraged to apply. The application deadline is September 30.
Please send application materials (a CV and a 500-word statement discussing your background, areas of expertise, and interest in the AE position) to David Sears (EditorMP@ucpress.edu).
