Doctoral Research in Music Technology at Royal Birmingham Conservatoire
AHRC Midlands4Cities PhD funding for UK and International applicants
The AHRC-funded Midlands4Cities Doctoral Training Partnership (M4C) brings together eight leading universities across the Midlands to support the professional and personal development of the next generation of arts and humanities doctoral researchers. M4C is a collaboration between the University of Birmingham, Birmingham City University, University of Warwick, Coventry University, University of Leicester, De Montfort University, Nottingham Trent University and The University of Nottingham.
M4C is awarding up to 89 doctoral studentships for UK and International applicants for 2021 entry through an open competition and 21 Collaborative Doctoral Awards (CDA) through a linked competition with a range of partner organisations in the cultural, creative and heritage sector.
Royal Birmingham Conservatoire at Birmingham City University is inviting applications from students whose research interests connect with our fields of expertise, including Music Technology. Supervisory staff include Lamberto Coccioli and Simon Hall. Royal Birmingham Conservatoire hosts the Integra Lab and can support research in:
· Electroacoustic and Live Electronic Music Composition and Performance
· Musician-centred Interaction Design and Software Development
We are particularly interested in projects that focus on the design of novel music interaction paradigms, the development of the Integra Live software, the ethics of music technology and the sustainability of the live electronic music repertoire.
