The successful applicant will be an active member of the research project investigating the theoretical and practical processes by which digital musical instruments (DMIs) may become part of musical ecologies, in particular the factors which influence how musicians discover the properties of DMIs and learn to skilfully play them.

The project will involve conducting and analysing experiments to investigate exploration and technique acquisition with different novel DMI prototypes. This investigation is placed within the broader research context of developing a theoretical framework to guide design principles which are more likely to lead to successful adoption of DMIs in musical cultures and practices.

The Research Fellow will work full-time on the project for six months.
