Software Developer - The LinkedMusic Project
Application Period: Feb. 5, 2025 - Feb. 28, 2025
The Distributed Digital Music Archives and Libraries (DDMAL) lab at the Music Technology Area of the Schulich School of Music is hiring McGill undergraduate and graduate students to work as summer software developers. The students will be working on federally funded research projects called The LinkedMusic Project and The Single Interface for Music Score Searching and Analysis (SIMSSA) Project.
Candidates should have a solid background in Python or JavaScript. Enrolment in a Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Music Technology degree is preferred, but not required. Database experience and the ability to read music notation are considered strong assets.
The position goes from 5 May to 22 August 2025. The work week will be 35 hours, with up to ten days unpaid holiday to be taken at any point after the initial two-week training period. The hourly rate ranges from $18.19 to $30.41 depending on the year at McGill (First-year Undergrad through late PhD), plus a percentage on top of the hourly rate for vacation and statutory holiday indemnities. You will be classified as an AMURE casual research assistant, and this is taxable employment income.
