Job: 3 Postdoctoral Fellowships in Ethnomusicology, Würzburg

We are delighted to invite applications for three international postdoctoral fellowships in Ethnomusicology at the Institute of Music Research at the University of Würzburg in Germany.

Deadline: March 24, 2023

The fellows will carry out individual research projects that contribute to our general knowledge and understanding of migration, minority cultures, and intercultural dynamics in Europe through the lens of musical heritages and new creativities. Each fellow's project should focus primarily on a minority musical community in Germany with migration background. A secondary comparative case study in another European country is optional but not required. Fellows need not have direct experience or knowledge of German culture, but should have expertise in the music culture of the minority community under study (for example, Arabic music, Slavic music, Nigerian music, etc.) in another diaspora context or the original homeland. Funding is provided through the Henriette Herz program of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (AvH), which aims to bring excellent international scholars to Germany who might not otherwise come here. Junior researchers who have completed their PhD within the last 4 years may apply for a fellowship of 6 to 24 months. Experienced researchers who have completed their PhD within the last 5 to 12 years may apply for a fellowship of 6 to 18 months.
