REMINDER
Three studentships are available for full-time doctoral research starting in
Autumn 2010 in association with the AHRC Research Centre for Musical
Performance as Creative Practice (CMPCP). One of the students will be based
at King's College London and will be supervised by Professor Daniel
Leech-Wilkinson. The other two students will enrol at the University of
Cambridge under the supervision of Professor Nicholas Cook and/or Professor
John Rink. Full details of the three awards appear at
www.cmpcp.ac.uk/studentships.html. The application deadline for the
Cambridge awards is 31 March 2010, whereas applications for the studentship
at King's College London must be received by 1 April 2010.
**************
Doctoral Student 1 (Cambridge) will conduct research and write a thesis on
Distributed Creativity in the Production of Classical Music Recordings. One
of the aims of this project is to document the role of the producer in 'art'
music recordings and to develop approaches to the analysis and critical
evaluation of the producer as creative practitioner.
Doctoral Student 2 (Cambridge) will conduct research and write a thesis on
Distributed Creativity in Popular Music, which will be studied from a number
of complementary perspectives.
Doctoral Student 3 (KCL) will conduct research that feeds into CMPCP's
'Shaping music in performance' project by investigating a closely related
question or by bringing other methodologies to bear upon the work of the
research team. The successful candidate is most likely to use empirical
approaches from music psychology or music sociology, although applications
that involve the visualisation of music audio or other computational
approaches likely to shed light on notions of music as shaped will also be
considered. Whatever approach is taken, the emphasis will be on music as
performed and as perceived through performance, not on musical compositions
or scores.
