[ANPPOM-L] CHARM Research Studentship

[Carlos Palombini]

Royal Holloway/CHARM Research Studentship in the History and Analysis of 
Recorded Music
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A three-year fully funded research studentship in the history and 
analysis of recorded music will be available at Royal Holloway, 
University of London (http://www.rhul.ac.uk/music) from October 2006.

Supervised by Professor Nicholas Cook, the student will be attached to a 
research project within CHARM (the AHRC Research Centre for the History 
and Analysis of Recorded Music, http://www.charm.rhul.ac.uk). This 
project involves the use of computational methods to study performance 
expression in Chopin's Mazurkas (see 
http://www.charm.rhul.ac.uk/content/projects/chopin.html); the student 
will work with recordings of piano music, taking advantage of methods 
developed within the main project, but in relation to a repertory of 
his/her own choice.

This is an outstanding opportunity to gain experience in two developing 
areas of musicology: computational analysis and the analysis of recorded 
music. We expect that the successful applicant will be educated to 
Masters level with exposure to musical analysis and/or performance 
studies; some experience of music computing would be advantageous, but 
is not a prerequisite as training will be available. The studentship 
will be on the same terms as standard AHRC doctoral awards (UK/EU fees 
plus a maintenance award, which is expected to be £14,300 in 2006/07).

If interested, please write in the first instance to the CHARM 
Coordinator (carol.chan em rhul.ac.uk), providing basic details of your 
background and interests, together with some indication of what you 
envisage researching on; a fully elaborated research proposal is not 
required at this stage.

The deadline for receipt of a formal application (details at 
http://www.rhul.ac.uk/Studying/Admissions/pgapplication.html) is 1 April 
2006.
