[AMS-announce] JOB: PhD Studentship, University of York (UK)

[ams-announce-admin at list.bowdoin.edu]

The Department of Music at the University of York (UK) together with 
Music Preserved announce a fully-funded collaborative PhD 
studentship, commencing 1 October 2008. The Studentship is part of a 
five-year AHRC-funded project, 'The Music Preserved Sound Archives: 
Expanding Resources for Research in Performance'. The archives offer 
researchers performance-based audio resources that extend across many 
genres and styles, focusing on recordings of live performances, made 
on-site or from broadcasts.

We seek a student researcher interested in exploring a specific 
aspect of the collections, interrogating the archives from 
musicological vantages that will produce research outputs of service 
both to the research community and to the general public. The student 
researcher will spend sixty working days p.a. cataloguing Music 
Preserved recordings, for which s/he will receive specialist training.
