Rob Horrocks will be starting his full time studies with us on 4th May, developing a proposed thesis on ‘The use of sound recordings in public exhibits and digital archives documenting popular music histories’.

Rob will be joining a group of strong popular music and new media academics, and playing a full part in the intellectual life of Interactive Cultures and our wider research centre.

We interviewed four particularly strong candidates from an impressive set of applications, and Rob’s combination of strong postgraduate background, his involvement in the application of digital media to music history, and his enthusiasm was impressive.

We have also offered the other suitably qualified candidates unfunded PhD places and we hope they will take them up.
