PhD Scholarships in Music Acoustics and Voice Acoustics
The University of New South Wales
One scholarship is part of a new project investigating the acoustical and other physical effects involved in players' performance on woodwind instruments. The other is part of a project investigating the singing voice.
Both projects are interdisciplinary, a range of skills in science
or engineering is potentially relevant and there is some possibility
to adapt the project to the skills of a good applicant. The
applicant should have an honours degree in Physics, Engineering
or Computing Science. Some knowledge of music would be an
advantage, but playing ability is not necessary.
The Music Acoustics Laboratory at UNSW is one of the world's
leading labs in this field, regularly publishing
in top journals (JASA, Nature, Science and others) and its staff
and graduate students have won a number of awards
and prizes.
Funded by part of an ARC Discovery grant, the Scholarships
are $20k per year, and are not taxable. PhD students in the
School may simultaneously accept Postgraduate Assistantships,
which provide additional guaranteed income of up to $10k per
year, in return for agreed teaching duties. The scholarships
do not cover tuition
fees. Australian and New Zealand students do not pay
tuition fees.
The university campus is located in the East of Sydney,
close to Coogee Beach.
