PhD Studentship, Glasgow and London: ‘British Film Music of the Twentieth Century: the Legacy of Muir Mathieson’

The University of Glasgow’s School of Culture and Creative Arts and the British Library in London are pleased to announce a three-year PhD Studentship under the AHRC Collaborative Doctoral Partnership (CDP) Scheme, to commence 1 October 2013. This PhD will focus on the extraordinary legacy of Scottish composer, conductor and musical director Muir Mathieson (1911-75), whose monumental contribution to British soundtracks, across several film and TV genres from the early 1930s to the ‘70s, earned him the nickname ‘Tsar of music for British films’. The studentship offers full funding and an interdisciplinary supervisory team drawn from both institutions. Please see the online advert for further details and application information:
