The Coordination has three jobs in one: working through administrative processes (e.g. finances, governance); organising a programme of workshops and training for doctoral students; and bringing together the diverse research across the twelve sections of the DocSchool PhilKult.

These different jobs coalesce around one main goal: to support doctoral students in successfully completing their studies. To this end, the Coordinator has office hours during the week (usually, Tuesdays 10-12 and Thursdays 14-16) where he is happy not only to provide information to doctoral students and supervisors, but also to listen. His office is in the Department of African Studies, Courtyard 5.1 of the main Campus (1^st floor, glass door on the right, down the corridor to office 2M 01 08). He can also be contacted by e-mail although the nature of the jobs means that a response can take time. If more appropriate – especially for doctoral students not in Vienna – it is possible to phone him (0043 1 4277 45008) or arrange an appointment on Zoom, MS Teams etc.

Jeremy Llewellyn was born to British and Italian parents and brought up in London where he received his first musical instruction in piano, oboe and organ. He studied music at the University of Cambridge as organ scholar of Selwyn College, Cambridge. His doctoral studies were undertaken under Wulf Arlt at the Institute of Musicology at the University of Basle where he graduated summa cum laude with a dissertation on liturgical chant in medieval Italy. After a research fellowship at the Faculty of Theology, University of Copenhagen, he took up a position in 2007 on the Senior Leadership Team of the specialist conservatory for Early Music, the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis. From 2015 to 2018 he held a Departmental Lectureship at the Faculty of Music, University of Oxford, and was also a Fellow of St Hugh’s College. He came to the University of Vienna in 2019 and took up his current role as Coordinator of the new interdisciplinary Doctoral School of the Philological-Cultural Studies Faculty in 2024. His publications range widely across the European Middle Ages, including liturgical chant, medieval song, music theory and historical performance practice. His research collaborations include a project with the AHRC and BBC Radio 3 on the Viennese composer Marianna Martines (1749-1812), resulting in a broadcast of newly edited work on International Women’s Day in 2018 as well as appearances on Composer of the Week. He was chair of the International Musicological Society study group, Cantus Planus, from 2021 to 2024.
