Studentships at SARC 2006/07

Funding is available for a number of awards through the Department  
for Employment & Learning (DEL), Overseas Research Students Awards  
Scheme (ORSAS), the European Social Fund (ESF), and Queen’s  
University for postgraduate students commencing in October 2006.   
Awards will be available on a competitive basis to the best-qualified  
candidates.  Successful candidates may be eligible for a £1000  
Research Travel Fund for  per year  for presentation of research at  
international conferences and festivals.

The closing date for receipt of all applications is Tuesday 2nd May  
2006. Applications are invited to be made electronically at  
www.qub.ac.uk/researchstudentships.


Masters in Sonic Arts (http://www.sarc.qub.ac.uk/ma)
The MA in Sonic Arts is a one year full-time taught programme that  
covers multiple aspects of sound, creativity and technology. The  
course takes advantage of the international cross-disciplinary team  
and the unique studio and performance facilities at the Sonic Arts  
Research Centre. The first semester provides students with a detailed  
insight into sound and technologies used in both industrial and  
experimental contexts. This semester covers topics such as the  
structure and function of the ear, basic principles of auditory  
perception, surround sound recording, editing, mixing, sound  
synthesis and design techniques. The second semester allows students  
to focus on current developments in Sonic Arts by enabling them to  
choose one of the following routes: Composition & Sound Design,  
Computer Gaming, Media and Theory, Music Interfaces and Interaction,  
and Digital Signal Processing.

PhD Programmes (http://www.sarc.qub.ac.uk/pages/phd)

The Sonic Arts Research Cluster welcomes applications for PhD in  
interdisciplinary research in the areas of creativity and technology  
with particular emphasis in music and audio. We particularly welcome  
applications in the following areas:
Human-Computer-Interaction: Learning from Music, Signal Processing  
for Audio, Performance Technologies: New Instruments and Practices,  
Accessibility through, Sound and Haptics , Computer Game Audio,  
Physics-based Sound Design, Practice-led Research in the Creative  
Arts (Composition and New Media)

Contact: Dr. Pedro Rebelo	(P.Rebelo at qub.ac.uk)

A fully funded three-year Ph.D. studentship is available on an EPSRC  
research grant for study under the supervision of Dr Maarten van  
Walstijn. The aim of the research project is to investigate new  
techniques for extraction of physical model parameters from musical  
wind instrument oscillations, on the basis of sensing and processing  
acoustic signals within the instrument sound generation loop. Further  
details on the project and the relevant background can be found at  
http://www.sarc.qub.ac.uk/~mvanwalstijn/pmpe.html.

The Sonic Arts Research Centre (SARC) is a newly established centre  
of excellence, dedicated to the research of music technology. This  
unique interdisciplinary project has united internationally  
recognised experts in the areas of musical composition, signal  
processing, internet technology and digital hardware.

The Centre is established in a purpose-built facility located  
alongside the engineering departments of Queen's University.
The centrepiece of SARC, the Sonic Laboratory, provides a unique  
space for cutting-edge initiatives in the creation and delivery of  
music and audio. The Sonic Laboratory's uniqueness is vested in the  
degree of flexibility it can provide for experiments in 3D sound  
diffusion and for ground-breaking compositional and performance work  
within a purpose-built, variable acoustic space.
The Centre was completed in October 2003 and was officially opened by  
Karlheinz Stockhausen during the Sonorities Festival in April 2004.
