A fully funded place for a three-month Visiting Research Student is 
immediately available at the Music Computing Lab at the Open University. You
must be an EU or UK National. Prospective students could be excellent final
year undergraduates, Masters students, or PhD students, or could have
recently completed any of these awards. You must be available to start
sometime in early months of 2010. 

The project involves development and evaluation of an application for a
multi-touch shared tabletop interface. The work is in conjunction with
Milton Keynes Art Gallery, and we are interested in integrating visual
images into music applications. A core theme is engagement.

We welcome recommendations for likely candidates from researchers or
teachers from  relevant disciplines in university departments. Students or
recent students are equally welcome to apply on their own behalf.

Students will be based at the Open University Campus in Milton Keynes. We
will pay for accommodation in Milton Keynes plus living expenses. We can
also cover reasonable travel expenses at the start and finish of the
studentship. 

For further details or to submit an application please contact Dr Robin
Laney (email: [log in to unmask]).

Applications should include a CV and covering note that summarizes

• evidence of appropriate knowledge, skills and experience for the specific
studentship,
• why you want to undertake this particular studentship, 
• why you think you would be a good candidate,
• telephone, email and postal contact details for two referees, at least one
of whom must be able to comment on subject discipline specifics.
