Accepting applications for new PhD Program in Music Technology at NYU:

The Music Technology Program at New York University (NYU) is pleased
to announce the opening of its new Ph.D. program in Music Technology,
to start in the Fall of 2008. The doctoral program and its curriculum
are the results of collaboration between NYU's Departments of Music
and Performing Arts Professions in the Steinhardt School, and Computer
Science and Mathematics in the Courant Institute.

Our research focuses on five main aspects: Music Information
Retrieval, Spatial Audio, Music and Emotions, Interactive Music
Systems, and Computer-based Music Visualization and Analysis. We are
open to research ideas concerning the relation between technology and
the creation, recording, processing, analysis, performance and
dissemination of music as well.

Information for Applicants:

We are currently receiving applications. The application deadline for
Fall 2008 admission is December 15th, 2007.

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
exact number depending on the quality of applications. Doctoral
