The Listening Experience Database Project

One full-time, three-year PhD studentship available from 1 October 2013

The Listening Experience Database is an AHRC-funded project led by Professor David Rowland at The Open University in collaboration with the Royal College of Music. (See http://www.open.ac.uk/Arts/LED/.) The main purpose is to capture evidence of personal experiences of listening to music. The project is not restricted by period, culture or musical type.

Proposals are sought for a PhD that will draw on and contribute to the accumulating evidence of the database. You will work with The Open University?s extensive electronic resources as well as the collections of the Royal College of Music or those in other libraries. The studentship may be based either in London or in Milton Keynes and alternatives to the traditional PhD thesis may be considered. This opportunity is not restricted to music graduates.

Closing date for applications: 31 July 2013
Interviews expected: week commencing 5 August 2013
