Apologies for cross-posting. Please see below, forwarded from Max Di Luca, University of Birmingham, UK. Applications are accepted for a PhD project to expand the neuroscientific understanding of how humans synchronise with each other during ensemble music production. The project will be linked with and run
alongside the EPSRC-funded http://arme-project.co.uk. It will involve both an experimental and a data science component to generate an agent-based computational model of synchronisation.
More information about the project can be found here: https://www.findaphd.com/phds/project/computational-model-of-music-synchronisation/?p151213 Applications will be reviewed leading to interviews. The successful candidate will receive funding from the Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership 3 (MIBTP2020) on the theme “Understanding
the rules of life". The funds will cover both UK and international student fees as well as a stipend, travel allowance and a laptop. The PhD will run at the University of Birmingham starting in October 2023, and it will be co-supervised by Dr Max Di Luca and Dr Mark
Elliott (University of Warwick). The deadline for applications is 20th January. Applicants must have A-level maths or equivalent maths and/or stats classes during their UG degree and/or MSc. Applicants should follow the guidance on the MIBTP page (including
sending a proforma application): https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/research/activity/mibtp/index.aspx -- Dr Maria A. G. Witek |
