THE NOËLLE MANN SCHOLARSHIP
The Serge Prokofiev Foundation is offering a scholarship in memory of Noëlle Mann, founder of the Serge Prokofiev Archive and the Centre for Russian Music at Goldsmiths, who died in 2010. Due to Noëlle’s activities over many years, Goldsmiths has become an important centre for the study of Russian music in the UK.
The award will be offered to a postgraduate research student in the Department of Music at Goldsmiths, starting in September 2017. Preference will be given to research projects dealing directly with an aspect of Prokofiev’s life and music, but topics related to his work in its broader context will also be considered. Those intending to carry out their research as part of the PhD Performance pathway are also eligible to apply.
In each year of the award, the scholarship will be to the value of the current home/EU full-time tuition fee for the relevant PhD pathway. For part-time enrolment the award will be reduced by 50% per annum. The scholarship may be granted for the normal period of the postgraduate study proposed.
The scholar will also be eligible for an annual travel bursary of £500 for the purpose of researching materials held at the Serge Prokofiev Archive at Columbia University or in other international archives.
Please follow the link to the Centre for Russian Music webpage (www.gold.ac.uk/crm) to see details on the department’s specialism in Russian music and various possibilities for research support. Your application should be made and submitted using the normal college application form (http://www.gold.ac.uk/pg/mphil-phd-music/). It should include a proposal of up to 2000 words explaining your intended research project, and how you see it fitting into the department’s research profile for Russian music studies.
Applications must be received by 1st June 2017 and should be clearly marked ‘Music PhD Prokofiev Scholarship 2017’. Interviews will be held in June and the successful applicant will be informed as soon as possible thereafter.
