FWP: Observatoire Interdisciplinaire de Création et Recherche en Musique

As part of its general scholarships program for the 2015-2016 year, the Observatoire Interdisciplinaire de Création et Recherche en Musique  is offering one (1) Postdoctoral fellowship scholarship in musicology, ethnomusicology, composition, instrumental didactics, or musical pedagogy for students who will be completing their fellowship under the supervision of a regular member of the OICRM. At Université de Montréal and at Université Laval, instruction is given in French; it is therefore important that students demonstrate a good knowledge of French (spoken and read). The fellowship must start between September 1st, 2015 and January 1st, 2016. Candidates must have received their doctorate during the last five years (i.e. after September 1st, 2010).

The scholarship has a value of $22,000 per year, for a maximum duration of 24 months (2 years).

The OICRM Postdoctoral scholarship is intended to support the career development of a researcher who has recently obtained a doctoral degree. Candidates must show, through their project, that they are undertaking new research, are publishing or will publish the results of their research, are creating or extending their network of research-based resource people, will enrich their teaching experience, and will contribute to furthering and broadening the field of research of the researcher, research team, or host lab. Selected projects will be those that meet a maximum of the set goals.

•             A letter of motivation
•             Three letters of reference, including one from the director of research providing details of the supervision conditions of the fellowship, as well as the financial support offered to the candidate (form available at www.oicrm.org)
