CMPCP is offering Visiting Fellowships on a competitive basis to musicologists, musicians and those working in cognate fields from the UK and overseas who wish to spend up to three months undertaking collaborative research at any one of the Centre's partner institutions, i.e. University of Cambridge, King's College London, University of Oxford, and Royal Holloway, University of London. Visiting Fellows will have the opportunity to gain exposure to CMPCP's research activities, to share their work with CMPCP staff and students both at the institution where they are based and throughout CMPCP, and to contribute to the activities supported by the Performance Studies Network. Each Visiting Fellow will be able to claim for eligible maintenance expenses incurred during the period of the Fellowship up to a stated maximum; relevant travel costs to and/or within the UK will also be reimbursed, subject to prior approval.
The research undertaken during a CMPCP Visiting Fellowship must address, whether directly or indirectly, one or more of the following research questions, which lie at the heart of CMPCP's work in general:
- How is musical performance creative, and what knowledge is creatively embodied in musical performance?
- How does music in performance - and the very act of performance - take shape over time?
- How does understanding musical performance as a creative practice vary across different global contexts, idioms and performance conditions?
Applicants for Visiting Fellowships are expected to have completed a doctorate prior to applying or to have equivalent professional experience prior to applying.
The Visiting Fellowship scheme is divided into five phases, the first of which will commence in April 2012. Further details about the second phase (October 2012 to March 2013) will be released six weeks prior to the next application deadline, i.e. 1 June 2012.
