The Computing and Communications department of the Open University has two fully funded full-time PhD studentships for an Oct 2015 start.
I am interested in hearing from candidates in music and interaction, particularly for combinations of the following topics, but students are free to choose an area.
Musical Contrast (and Similarity)
Music and Emotion
Music and Narrative
Computational Creativity
Computational Musicology
Musical Pattern Discovery
Music Generation
Music for Computer Games
Collaborative Music Environments
Musical Tabletops
MIR in Creative Settings
A separate topic that might be of interest, and draw on some of the same themes and technologies, is the use of ubiquitous technology in group conflict resolution.
Please contact Dr Robin Laney (robin.laney @ open.ac.uk) for an informal discussion and advice on constructing a proposal.
Applications should comprise an application form, a CV and a PhD proposal. Application forms and general advice on PhD proposals can be found at:
