MyWorld Fellowship in Residence: Pushing the Boundaries of Digital Acoustics
Closing Date: Tue 13 May, 09:00 BST
This is an opportunity to spend six months at multi-award-winning Wounded Buffalo Sound Studios. We are inviting established digital audio technologists or creative digital sound practitioners who will bring the expertise to investigate how cutting-edge acoustic technologies can be harnessed to create, manipulate, and transform sound in a virtual environment.
Clare Lawrence, Line Producer, Wounded Buffalo Sound Studios says:
"Our work on the first series of Blue Planet revolutionised how audiences would experience underwater worlds sonically. Following this, Prehistoric Planet raised the bar again, bringing to life the creatures of lost worlds with a new level of scientific accuracy and sonic depth. This Fellowship will be pivotal in exploring where boundaries can be further pushed, charting new frontiers in audio post-production that align with the evolving demands of digital storytelling and immersive technologies."
We will award one person £12,000 for six months at 2.5 days/week face-to-face. You will be contracted and paid via the University of Bristol but managed by Watershed and the team at Wounded Buffalo Sound Studios.
Our MyWorld Fellowships are aimed at freelancers, practitioners, industry folk, and academics based in the West of England. They offer paid experimentation and research time, with an emphasis on collaboration and interdisciplinary working. You will be bringing an existing practice, expertise or other relevant experience and are looking to apply that in an organisational setting with the view to share learnings more publicly with peers.
MyWorld believe our work will be stronger with greater diversity and welcome applications from those who are currently underrepresented in the culture, technology and higher education sectors. We understand that each of us brings our experiences, our backgrounds and our own unique lens to what we do so no one is expected to represent any specific groups.
This Fellowship is hosted by Wounded Buffalo Sound Studios who have been setting the standard for audio post-production by innovating and leading in the creation of natural organic soundtracks using cutting-edge technology for over 30 years.
This Fellowship is part of the the MyWorld IDEAS programme, funded by UKRI.
The application process:
You are invited to answer four questions on an online form focusing on how you meet the criteria for the Fellowship in residence, and how you can build care into the process.
