(with apologies for cross-postings)

UKRI Centre for Doctoral Training in Artificial Intelligence and Music (AIM), Queen Mary University of London
https://www.aim.qmul.ac.uk/

Up to 12 fully-funded PhD studentships to start September 2019
Covers fees and a stipend for four years
Application deadline: 15 April 2019

Why apply to the AIM Programme?

4-year fully-funded PhD studentships available
Extensive choice of projects, drawing on a supervisory team of over 30 academics
Access to cutting-edge facilities and expertise in artificial intelligence (AI) and music/audio technology
Comprehensive technical training at the intersection of AI and music through a personalized programme
Partnerships with over 20 companies and cultural institutions in the music, audio and creative sectors

More information on the AIM Programme can be found at: https://www.aim.qmul.ac.uk/

Programme structure
Our Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) offers a four year training programme where students will carry out a research project in the intersection of AI and music, supported by taught specialist modules, industrial placements, and skills training. Find out more about the programme structure at: http://www.aim.qmul.ac.uk/about/

Who can apply?
We are on the lookout for the best and brightest students interested in the intersection of music/audio technology and AI. Successful applicants will have the following profile:

Hold or be completing a Masters degree at distinction or first class level, or equivalent, in Computer Science, Electronic Engineering, Music/Audio Technology, Physics, Mathematics, or Psychology.
Programming skills are strongly desirable; however we do not consider this to be an essential criterion if candidates have complementary strengths.
Formal music training is desirable, but not a prerequisite.

For this round of applications we are offering a number of scholarships to applicants who are ordinarily resident in the UK (i.e. have lived and studied/worked in the UK at least the last three years) and a smaller number of scholarships to international students.

Funding
We have a large number of 4-year PhD studentships available for students starting in September 2019 which will cover the cost of tuition fees and will provide an annual tax-free stipend of £17,009. The CDT will also provide funding for conference travel, equipment, and for attending other CDT-related events.
