> Applicants are expected to demonstrate a record of excellence in
> academic performance and a strong commitment to their particular field
> of study. They are expected to be proficient in at least one, but
> preferably more, of the following areas of knowledge: music
> technology, music performance, musicology, music theory, cognition,
> physics, mathematics, computer science, computer programming,
> electronics and signal processing; and are required to have a relevant
> master's degree completed with a high grade point average (or
> equivalent for non-US students).
>
> A small number of doctoral fellowships are also on offer, with the
