Fwd: Call for Papers: Psychological Science and Creativity

Translational Issues in Psychological Science

APA Journals®: Call for Papers Psychological Science and Creativity A special issue call for papers Submission deadline: January 18, 2021   Translational Issues in Psychological Science welcomes manuscripts for consideration in a special issue titled "Psychological Science and Creativity". Creativity was once considered beyond the bounds of scientific inquiry. But recent years have seen considerable progress in scientific understanding of human creativity, due in part to increasing interest among psychologists and neuroscientists, as well as advances in the methodological tools used to study creativity in the lab. The goal of the special issue is to feature cutting-edge research that either considers translational implications of basic creativity science or directly examines translational applications of creativity research. For this special issue, the editors welcome both empirical and review papers that address the following topics:   studying creativity outside the lab (e.g., ecological momentary assessment) translational implications of creativity neuroscience teaching and measuring creativity in educational contexts studying creativity and innovation in industry and organizations ecological validity considerations of studying creativity in the lab and more!   Manuscripts submitted to Translational Issues in Psychological Science must be co-authored by at least one psychologist in training (graduate student, postdoctoral fellow), should be written concisely for a broad audience, and focus on the practical implications of the research presented in the manuscript. Learn More Please feel free to forward this correspondence to interested colleagues and the psychologists-in-training with whom you work. If you have any questions, please contact the special issue editor Roger Beaty, PhD or editor-in chief Daniel J. Weiss, PhD. about the journal Translational Issues in Psychological Science® (TPS) is a critical issues translational journal, with each issue on a different topic representing multiple viewpoints on psychological science. Each issue of TPS concentrates on a single important, timely, and/or potentially controversial theme in translational science that is of broad interest to scientists, practitioners, and the general public.

Research Assistant in Quantum Computing and Music

Salary: c. £37,000 per annum (to be confirmed)
Duration: 12 months, full-time position (renewable subject to funding)
Starting date:1st March 2020 (can be negotiable)

The University of Plymouth' Interdisciplinary Centre for Computer Music Research (ICCMR) is seeking to recruit a Research Assistant to work on the "Quantum Computing and Music" project, funded by EPSRC Quantum Computing & Simulation Hub, part of the UK National Quantum Technologies Programme.

This is a pioneering project, aimed at expanding the range of applications of quantum computing technology towards the music industry. The main goal is to develop QuTune, an open source programming toolbox designed for sound and music with quantum computing, accompanied with tutorials and demonstrations. It will involve the design of quantum algorithms, and implementation of software combining quantum computing with sound/music programming. QuTune is aimed at supporting the emergence of a quantum-ready music tech community of early adopters of quantum computing technology.

This project will be developed in collaboration with University of Oxford's Department of Computer Science, Prof Bob Coecke's team. Supporting industrial collaborators include Spotify, inMusic (a family of leading music technology brands, such as Akai, Alesis, M-Audio) and Rigetti Computing.

Candidates are expected to have expertise in quantum computing and software development, and conversant with the field of computer music.  A post-graduate degree in Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, or related subject, is required, or demonstrable equivalent work experience.

Further particulars will follow shortly. In the meantime, for an expression of interest and/or informal discussion, please contact Professor Eduardo Miranda by email eduardo.miranda@plymouth.ac.uk
