We are still looking to fill two fully funded PhD positions to research mus= ic and imagination at the MARCS Institute at Western Sydney University. One project focuses on empirically exploring how musical features affect im= agination: https://www.westernsydney.edu.au/schools/grs/scholarships/current_scholarsh= ips/current_scholarships/the_musical_escape_investigating_music_and_imagina= tion And the other project focuses on using insights in music induced imaginatio= n for algorithmic music generation. https://www.westernsydney.edu.au/schools/grs/scholarships/current_scholarsh= ips/current_scholarships/the_musical_escape_algorithmic_music_generation_fo= r_music_induced_imagination The deadline is now the extended to the end of August with a starting date = some time this year. It would be great if you could forward this add to students that might be i= nterested. This paper here might also give candidates a rough idea what the= project is about https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-95260-8. Inter= ested students are also encouraged to get in touch with me early for an inf= ormal chat where I can answer all their questions before they apply, as the= projects' scope is more flexible than the ads might suggest. Thanks a lot and best wishes, Steffen ------------------ Dr. Steffen A.
