The University of Agder invites applications for a full-time, fixed-term appointment as PhD research fellow in popular music for a period of three years, at the Department of Music, Faculty of Fine Arts, Kristiansand, Norway.

We are looking for a PhD fellow in popular music research, with an emphasis on the interdisciplinary field of popular music studies.

The position will focus on the development of the appointee’s music performance practice and artistic creativity. The fellowship will entail academic research and development and involve the production of a PhD dissertation, but may also involve other forms of documentation.

Our concept of “musicology” opens for interdisciplinary approaches including theoretical and methodological concepts from fields such as sociology, cultural theory, social anthropology, and media studies. Research topics can fall within the fields of music technology, film music, multi-media, gender studies, ethnomusicology and cultural history.

The Department of Music has a good track record in supervising performance-based research within the wider field of musicology, including ethnomusicology, jazz studies, and popular musicology. Currently, the Department employs nine professors and three associate professors and has an excellent international network.
