[MEI-L] Six funded PhD opportunities in AT / DE / CH: E-LAUTE - Electronic Linked Annotated Unified Tablature Edition

[David M. Weigl]

Dear MEI Community, (with apologies for cross-posting),

Season's greetings!

I'm writing to alert you to six diverse PhD opportunities in the digital 
musicology space, in the upcoming international Weave-funded project 
E-LAUTE (Electronic Linked Annotated Unified Tablature Edition): The 
Lute in the German-Speaking Area 1450-1550 (https://e-laute.info)

E-LAUTE aims to create an open-access comprehensive and interactive 
edition of the lute tablatures of the German-speaking area between 1450 
and 1550. The corpus (2,000 pages) has not yet been investigated as a 
whole and is barely accessible to scholars and professional musicians as 
well as to the broad public, has not been deciphered and has therefore 
been evaluated only selectively. The project has two closely related 
parts: the edition itself and pilot studies in the fields of musicology, 
music informatics, German studies, and performance practice. These two 
parts will be worked on in parallel. As a result, we will create a novel 
form of music edition: an ‘open knowledge platform’ in which the 
research fields intertwine and transform the ‘classic’ edition into a 
space of interdisciplinary and discipline-specific work.

The following funded PhD positions are available:

* Austria
     Musicology, 75%, Dept. of Musicology, University of Vienna
     Music Informatics – Information Retrieval, 75%, TU Wien
     Music Informatics – Data Modelling, 75%, Austrian National Library 
(ONB)

* Germany
     Medieval German Studies / Musicology, 65%, University of Bayreuth
     Musicology, 65%, Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich

* Switzerland
     Performance practice: Lute, Hochschule für Musik FHNW, Schola 
Cantorum Basiliensis

Deadlines are all coming up in mid-January, with an expected starting 
date of March 1st 2023.
