Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Music Cognition/Music Theory
School of Music, Ohio State University
The School of Music at the Ohio State University is pleased to offer a Post-doctoral Fellowship in Music Cognition/Music Theory. The fellowship provides one year of support for full-time music research, with the possibility of renewal for a second year.
Candidates choose their own program of research, although preference is given to studies in listening, performance, analysis, modeling, and cross-cultural phenomena. The fellowship is designed to further a candidate's training and research experience in music
cognition and systematic approaches to music theory. Candidates must have completed a doctoral degree at the time the fellowship begins.
The Fellowship is open to any individual who has been awarded a doctoral degree within the past seven years, and who did not receive an MFA or doctorate from the Ohio State University. Untenured faculty at other institutions are eligible to apply. The
stipend is just over $40,000 for a 12-month period.
The deadline for receipt of applications is May 30, 2016. The fellowship is to begin no earlier than September 1, 2016 and no later than November 1, 2016.
Applications should include a covering letter and supporting documents. The covering letter should include (1) a description of the candidate's background, training, recent scholarly interests, and career goals, (2) a research plan that specifies the candidate's
proposed area of research, and (3) a specified starting date of appointment.
Supporting documents should include a curriculum vitae, two letters of recommendation from persons not employed by the Ohio State University, and an official transcript showing the awarding of a doctorate (sent by the university conferring the degree).
If the doctorate is pending, indicate the anticipated date of completion. N.B. Fellowships cannot be taken up prior to the completion of the doctorate.
Letters of application and all supporting material must be received by May 30, 2016. Submit all materials in electronic form to Prof. David Huron, huron.1@xxxxxxx.
