Doctoral Research in Late-Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque Musicology at Birmingham Conservatoire
AHRC Midlands3Cities funding for UK/EU students
The Midlands3Cities Doctoral Training Partnership (M3C DTP) is a collaboration between the University of Birmingham, Birmingham City University, De Montfort University, University of Leicester, Nottingham Trent University and The University of Nottingham. M3C is awarding up to 87 PhD Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) studentships for UK/EU applicants for 2017 entry. M3C provides research candidates with expert supervision (including opportunities for cross-institutional supervision), research training and access to a wide range of facilities, cohort events and placement opportunities with regional, national and international partners in the creative and cultural sectors.
Birmingham Conservatoire (part of Birmingham City University) is inviting applications from students whose research interests include:
• Late-Medieval and Music Theory (Ronald Woodley)
• Performance Practices of the Renaissance and Early Baroque (Jamie Savan)
• French Baroque Music (as part of our French Music Research Hub), notably 17th- and 18th-century French music from Lully and Charpentier to Rameau (Shirley Thompson and Graham Sadler)
• Italian Baroque Music (Carrie Churnside)
Birmingham Conservatoire also hosts a significant collection of historical instruments and we welcome studies with a focus on performance and/or critical editing.
