Research Fellow (Part Time) Department of Music, University of Birmingham, School of Languages, Cultures, Art History and Music within the College of Arts and Law Fixed term from 1st of April 2020 to 31st of March 2021 Grade: Grade 7, 30 or below pro rata https://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/BWB470/research-fellow This post will support *Music And The Internet: Towards A Digital Sociology of Music*, a project funded by the AHRC and led by Dr Christopher Haworth. DIGSOCMUS will explore the use of digital methods for the analysis of electronic music from the 1990s to the present, addressing research questions on the changing relations between art and popular electronic musics; ‘major’ and ‘independent’ labels; and local and transnational musicking in the age of the internet. The post will be centred on devising bespoke digital methods to further the analysis of the research questions. These may involve text-mining and social data analysis techniques, and the postholder will be expected to analyse, interpret and visualise data using Gephi or an equivalent network visualisation software. The postholder will be expected to participate in workshops and other events associated with the research project, and to produce and present research papers in seminars and at conferences. You should have completed a PhD in music computing, music technology, digital humanities, computer science or a related field, and you should have an interest in one of the following fields: twentieth-century music, digital music, electronic music, media history, or ethnomusicology. The Department of Music recognises that scholars and practitioners from minority backgrounds are under-represented in music-related fields. We welcome applications from all candidates regardless of gender, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation and/or transgender status.
