PhD Studentship Available (Closing date 15 Mar 2013)

A PhD research studentship covering stipend and tuition fee costs is offered within the Music, Technology and Innovation Research Centre (MTI-RC), working with an internationally recognised research team that is known for its artistic work within the field of sonic arts/electroacoustic music composition and related field of scholarship, electroacoustic music studies.
