PhD Post in Musicology is at the Department of Musicology, Faculty of Humanities, University of Oslo, Norway.
The position is available for a period of three years from January 2011.
The PhD fellowship is connected to the project Popular Music and Gender in a Transcultural context. The project is jointly funded by the Norwegian Research Council under the programme FRIHUM, and the University of Oslo, which will run from July 2010 through June 2014.
For more information please se the Department’s home page.
The main aim of this project is to consider the cultural construction of gender through popular music. The relevance of this project is to develop new theoretical insights into gendered performance, which will involve research within both a Norwegian and international context. While cultural and historical approaches will inform this project, the prime direction will be a reflective consideration of identity politics through critical musicology. Music’s visual representation is also of importance in this project, and audiovisual performativity constitutes a principal site for research attached to this post.
An important outcome of this project will be both the publication and mediation of research work in the field of popular music, with a specific emphasis on new perspectives within gender studies.
