Welcome to the CompMusic Lab for comparative and computational musicology! We aim to use science to promote cross-cultural diversity and understanding. Our research has appeared in such outlets as Nature, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Behavioral and Brain Sciences, Humanities and Social Sciences Communications and Ethnomusicology, and has been covered by media including Nautilus, NPR, the New York Times (here and here), Billboard, and NBC News. You can see some examples of who we are and what we do on this site.

If you are interested in applying to join the lab, please email Patrick Savage including a CV, academic transcript, and short (<1 page) description of your research interests and how they fit with the lab. We encourage applicants from all backgrounds – especially from historically underrepresented groups. Please read through our lab manual to get a sense of what life in our lab is like and what our expectations are for potential lab members, funding options, etc.
