PhD scholarship in the field of Adaptive Musical Processes in Digital Interactive Media

The HumanitiesGraduateSchool, Faculty of Humanities, University of Aarhus, in collaboration with the Royal Academy of Music, Aarhus and the Danish Ministry of Culture, invites applications for SU PhD scholarship (4+4) in Adaptive Musical Processes in Digital Interactive Media starting on 1 September 2008, or as soon as possible thereafter.



The PhD scholarship will be financed by the 3 parties.



A PhD position is being made available in the area of Adaptive Musical Processes in Digital Interactive Media.



Adaptive music is defined as computer-generated music that can be influenced, consciously or unconsciously, by the audience or individual listener. Adaptive music is a type of interactive music where interaction does not place specific demands on the part of the user in regard to expertise or training. Adaptive music is a quickly expanding field, which is gaining increased application in computer games, web design, net art and experience design.



Research will be conducted within the framework of The Danish Institute of Electronic Music (DIEM) at the Royal Academy of Music, Aarhus in collaboration with The Department of Computer Science and the Institute for Information and Media Sciences (IMV) at the University of Aarhus.



The project will explore how adaptive musical processes can be used to induce critical reflection as well as creative involvement on the part of the listener.



This will be achieved by

1. examining, charting, describing and analyzing existing forms of adaptive music

2. establishing criteria for functional design in adaptive musical systems

3. creating new forms of adaptive music through case studies within the established design criteria

4. evaluating case studies in light of research in interaction and interface design



Research will be based upon theories and methods in the areas of human computer interaction and interface design and upon an empirical research approach derived from case studies. Case studies will be supplemented with the investigation of listener/user evaluation of functionality and artistic quality in adaptive music.



The PhD position will be given to a qualified applicant with a relevant education and degree with a background in interactive music, programming and digital audio.



The PhD scholar will be enrolled as a PhD student at the Faculty of Humanities, University of Aarhus, with the aim of completing a PhD degree at the Institute of Information and Media Studies, University of Aarhus. The PhD scholar will be affiliated with the postgraduate programmes of study ICT, Communication, Media Studies and Journalism.



When you apply for a Graduate School SU PhD scholarship (4+4),you must be able to document relevant qualifications in the academic area of the PhD project in the form of a Bachelor’s degree and one year of Master’s degree studies or equivalent qualifications.A prerequisite for allocation of SU PhD scholarships is that these qualifications are acquired no later than 31 August 2008.

PhD Studentship - Ocean Modelling for Marine Renewable Energy

The Marine Institute and the School of Earth Ocean and Environmental Science at the University of Plymouth have secured joint funding from Great Western Research and industrial partners for a study on the application of regional ocean modelling for planning and environmental impact assessment purposes for tidal stream energy generation. This study presents an exciting opportunity to apply leading edge research in coastal oceanography to the development of marine renewable energy and to work closely with industrial partners which are actively involved in device development, marine energy generation, and renewable energy planning and permitting.


Project description The next step in the development of commercially viable tidal stream energy technology is the realization of deployments of arrays of devices. This step will require tools for proper resource assessment as well as determination of the potential environmental impacts due to these arrays. This project will develop a tool for performing such activities through the adaptation of a coastal ocean modelling system for the task. This tool shall be able to account for real world conditions such as complex bathymetry, free surface and bottom boundary layers, flow stratification and time varying flow conditions. The developed product shall be applied to a real world scenario during the course of the project.


Complete project details can be found at http://www.greatwesternresearch.ac.uk/formproj.php?sessionId=&action=Details&id=351


We are looking for an MSc or BSc graduate in a relevant discipline such as oceanography, engineering, or marine or environmental sciences, with a keen interest in numerical modelling and the development of marine renewable energy. You will be a member of the Coastal Processes Research Group www.coastalprocesses.org in Plymouth but will work closely with collaborators from a companion project based at the University of Bristol and the industrial partners in Bristol. Desirable skills include familiarity with coastal ocean modelling, coastal oceanography, and/or hydraulic engineering and high computer literacy as well as familiarity with common programming languages. Training will be provided as required.


The preferred starting date for the studentship will be 1 July 2008.


The studentship is for three years and the student will receive a stipend of £12940 per annum and tuition fees (approximately £3250 pa).

The studentship will only fully fund those applicants who are eligible for Home/EU fees with appropriate qualification.


Applicants eligible for overseas fees would have to cover the difference (approximately £5625) between the Home/EU tuition fee and the tuition fee for an overseas student.


Applicants should send a CV, a statement of interest and contact details of two academic references to Mrs Ann Treeby, Science Research Admin Assistant, University of Plymouth, A504, Portland Square, Drake Circus, Plymouth, PL4 8AA or by email to ann.treeby@plymouth.ac.uk


Interviews are planned for two weeks after the closing date.

UEA International Student Scholarships

The University of East Anglia awards over £1,000,000 of scholarships each year to support international students in their studies. The awards are made by individual Schools of Study in the University. All international students (outside the European Union) are considered for a scholarship of between 10% and 50% of tuition fees.
In order to be considered for a UEA scholarship you do not need to make a separate application. Please indicate on your application for admission that you wish to be considered for a scholarship.

It is important to make an application as early as possible because they are considered as they are received. So apply early to make sure of the best chance of success. If you are granted a scholarship, you will be informed at the time you receive your offer of a place at UEA.

Scholarships are awarded to students on the basis of academic merit and are normally for the duration of the period of study - three years for Bachelor and PhD degrees and one year for Masters programmes. They are available from all Schools of Study and across most courses of study.

Students of outstanding academic ability will also be considered for Faculty Scholarship Awards made by the Dean of Faculty, usually in April or May each year. These are highly competitive and prestigious awards.
