[Commlist] PhD Scholarships - The Amplification Project - University of Huddersfield

The Department of Media, Humanities and the Arts at the University of 
Huddersfield is pleased to invite applications for 3 full scholarships 
starting in July 2025 for PhDs as part of the Amplification Project 
funded by a Leverhulme Trust International Professorship grant.

The scholarship is open only to UK home applicants who are engaged in 
research on any subject related to amplification and its contribution to 
music cultures. Preference will be given to proposals in one of the 
following research areas:

-    Amplification, ecology and environment.

-    Histories of amplification before 1950.

-    Amplification and disability.

-    Amplification and sonic architecture.



However, other proposed topics will also receive consideration. Projects 
may be analytical, theoretical, socio-cultural, empirical, historical, 
or ethnomusicological.

The Amplification Project is a five-year funded grant project that 
explores the social, political, technical, and aesthetic dimensions of 
amplification technologies and amplified sound from a multi-disciplinary 
perspective. Leverhulme International Professor of Popular Music Steve 
Waksman is the principal investigator on the project, and the larger 
research team consists of six additional research fellows: Owen Coggins, 
Lawrence Davies, Gabrielle Kielich, Rebekah E. Moore, Frances Morgan, 
and Ivan Mouraviev. Successful PhD applicants will be supervised by a 
committee comprised of members of the core research team along with 
permanent members of the music staff at the University of Huddersfield.

For more information about the project and the application process,

Huddersfield website (link below). The deadline for applications is 
midnight on *Monday 12th May*.
