Stillingstittel:
Doctoral research fellowships in Music in the Nordic Regions (2016/580)

Stillingsbeskrivelse:
The University of Oslo is Norway’s largest institution of research and education with 28 000 students and 7000 employees. Its broad range of academic disciplines and internationally esteemed research communities make UiO an important contributor to society.

Two PhD Research Fellowships in ‘Music in the Nordic Regions’ are now available at the Department of Musicology, University of Oslo (IMV).

The area of ‘Music in the Nordic Regions’ should be understood in its broadest sense, and straddles topics related to Nordic music and/or music in the Nordic across genres, countries, centuries, and methodologies. While seeking to capture and maximise on current international research developments within the area, the fellowships are also a reflection of the University of Oslo’s recent initiative to foreground research into the Nordic from a variety of perspectives (www.hf.uio.no/english/research/uio-nordic/index.html). The Department emphasises a critical approach to musicology and covers a wide range of research areas, including popular music studies, music history, music analysis, philosophy of music, cultural studies, music technology, music and identity, and cognitive musicology. In seeking to maintain and develop this diversity, the fellowships are not advertised as genre specific, nor are there any specific methodological requirements or constraints. Applications are invited from candidates interested in contributing to the rich, interdisciplinary field of Music in the Nordic Regions, and the successful candidates will be expected to contribute to the Department’s overall critical approach to music studies.

The appointees will be required to partake in the Faculty's research programme, with a view to submitting a PhD thesis that is commensurate with the University of Oslo regulations. The successful applicants will also be expected to join the existing research milieu and contribute to its development. Read more about the doctoral degree here.

The appointment lasts for a duration of three years.

The successful candidate is expected to affiliate with the existing research milieu or network and to contribute to the further development of this.

Candidates who are accepted must participate in the Faculty of Humanities’ researcher education programme (cf. regulations and supplementary provisions for the faculty’s researcher education) and must also engage in the designated research activities on a 100 percent basis. The designated aim of the project is to complete a doctoral dissertation to be defended at a public disputation for the Ph.D.-degree.

Requirements

• A master's degree in musicology (broadly conceived) that offers a solid foundation for further research into perspectives within the area of Music in the Nordic Regions. The applicant is required to document that the degree matches the profile for the post. The final
