PhD position in Relational Sound Practice

There is a vacancy as a research fellow (100 %) in Relational Sound Practice at The Art Academy - Department of Contemporary Art. The appointment is for a fixed-term period of four years, of which 25 per cent comprises required duties. The required duties may be in the form of teaching, exam work or supervision, according to the needs of the department.

About the project/work tasks:

A central field of interest for the Art Academy - Department of Contemporary Art is how sound and perception of sound may act as a framework for expanded forms of relational, community or ethnographic practices. This includes research into a range of areas, and we are looking for candidates who actively use sound, voice, and listening in their work. The proposed research project should include an experimental approach to the sound arts with specific focus on questions of co-habitation, politics and poetics of repair.

The Art Academy - Department of Contemporary Art is searching for new knowledge around this field through an artistic research project that extends the sound arts towards new modes of relational or community practice

This is a large and challenging research field with a great potential which can open for collaboration with other disciplines in both UiB and other environments both nationally and internationally. Applicants should possess an advanced understanding of the sound arts, and knowledge of sound as a research field.

The research fellow will be closely connected to the research project Relational Sound Practice led by professors Brandon LaBelle and Jill Halstead. Applicants should orient themselves in the project on our website: https://kmd.uib.no/no/forskning.
