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 only offering scholarships to applicants who are ordinarily resident in the UK, i.e. have lived and studied/worked in the UK for at least the last three years by September 2020. This includes UK and EU nationals who are studying or working in the UK and international applicants who are working in the UK.

We have a number of fully-funded 4-year PhD studentships available for students starting in September 2020 which will cover the cost of tuition fees and will provide an annual tax-free stipend (£17,009 in 2019/20). The CDT will also provide funding for conference travel, equipment, and for attending other CDT-related events.
