Research Studentships in Music and Sonic Arts, Queen’s University
TEN new PhD studentships available in the School of Music and Sonic Arts, Queen's University Belfast.
There are currently over forty research students in the School of Music and Sonic Arts, working on topics in eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth-century musicology, compositional and creative practice-based work, and ground-breaking projects exploring technical research applications at the Sonic Arts Research Centre (SARC).
The School's record in attracting an international community of practitioners in composition, sound art, installation art, improvisation, performance, audio-visual design and new media makes it a vibrant environment in which to pursue creative work at PhD level. The work of PhD students is regularly showcased both locally and internationally at events such as the Gaudeamus Festival, Wien Modern, Musica Viva, Biennale di Venezia, ICMC, SEAMUS and NIME with a number of students winning prizes such as EMS Stockholm, Culturas 2008 Madrid Musica Nova (Czech Rep.), Crash Intl. Biennale (Poland) and SCI, Hungarian Radio, Gaudeamus Composition.
