JOB: John P. Murphy Fellow in Popular Music Studies, Case Western Reserve University

[AMS]

The purpose of this Postdoctoral Fellowship is to support research in popular music studies by providing scholars in the early stages of their careers with the time and resources necessary to advance their work. During the course of the fellowship, John P. Murphy Fellows will pursue a research and writing project for two full academic years. An essential feature of the program is that Fellows make intellectual contributions to the CWRU community through their participation in workshops, lectures, and courses. The John P. Murphy Fellow will offer two courses at CWRU (one course each academic year) over the period of the fellowship, in consultation with the Music Department. Fellows will also be given the opportunity to take advantage of the longstanding partnership between the Center for Popular Music Studies and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Rock Hall’s Library & Archives.

This postdoctoral fellowship is made possible through the generosity of the John P. Murphy Foundation and the Richman Fund for Popular Music Studies at the College of Arts and Sciences at Case Western Reserve University.
