This is an exciting opportunity to apply Computer and Data Science methodologies to experimental forms of visual, sonic, 3D, and text-based arts, among others.<br><br>You will be part of a community of Artists/Researchers exploring the aesthetics and cultural implications of emerging technologies. Specifically, your research will focus on using data collection and machine learning techniques to advance the field of Data Driven Arts, and to make these approaches more accessible to students, artists, and diverse communities on campus. This will be achieved through the development of a Creative AI Toolkit that includes hardware and software systems that are robust yet approachable. At the center of this toolkit is a recently acquired Lambda server with 8X A100 GPUs.<br><br>The successful candidate will develop and implement strategies for making this system available to students, researchers, and faculty working with Data Driven Arts. This will include establishing paradigms for remote multi-user access, and ensuring that popular and emerging ML frameworks are organized in virtual environments or container toolkits. Candidates should be familiar with GANs, Transformers, CNNs, Diffusion models and other machine learning architectures. And importantly, they should be able to think creatively about applying these tools to a variety of potentially unexplored artforms.<br><br>As a part of our team, you will have the opportunity to contribute your own ideas and research activities to the DXARTS community. In addition to identifying existing and emerging workflows that could be applied to the arts, you will have the freedom to pursue independent research within the broader context of data collection and machine learning.<br><br>Applicants should have a PhD (or be close to receiving one) in a field relevant to this research area.<br><br>For more information about DXARTS faculty, facilities, and research areas, please visit our website at <a href="https://dxarts.washington.edu/">https://dxarts.washington.edu/</a><br></div></div><span class="gmail_signature_prefix">-- </span><br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><span style="color:rgb(136,136,136)">tivon rice</span><br style="color:rgb(136,136,136)"><span style="color:rgb(136,136,136)">assistant professor</span><div style="color:rgb(136,136,136)">digital art and experimental media<br></div><div style="color:rgb(136,136,136)">university of washington</div><div style="color:rgb(136,136,136)">seattle, usa</div><span style="color:rgb(102,102,102)">
