Project: AUDIRE– Audio Repository: saving sonic based memories 

AUDIRE is a research project funded by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology. It aims to create social awareness on the relevance of sound as a form of expression and to explore the innovative and creative potential of sound narratives. The working plan is organised into five main objectives:

  • to develop a theory of sound as an essential support for human expression and as a source of knowledge
  • to understand how people recognise and value the acoustic environments
  • to construct a repository of open access sound contents
  • to create a virtual sound museum which can contribute to stimulate the creativity of emerging artists and at the same time preserve a kind of sound heritage
  • to promote sound literacy based on a proposal of pedagogical activities

The research team is now recruiting a new researcher.

Candidates should fit the following main requirements:

1) to hold PhD in Communication Sciences

2) to be proficient in Portuguese and English

3) to present a portfolio of relevant works of technique and/or artistic production in the sound effect area
