The AHRC Research Centre for Musical Performance as Creative Practice
(CMPCP) is offering Visiting Fellowships on a competitive basis to
musicologists, musicians and those working in cognate fields from the UK and
overseas who wish to spend up to three months undertaking collaborative
research at any one of the Centre's partner institutions, i.e. University of
Cambridge, King's College London, University of Oxford, and Royal Holloway,
University of London. Visiting Fellows will have the opportunity to gain
exposure to CMPCP's research activities, to share their work with CMPCP
staff and students both at the institution where they are based and
throughout CMPCP, and to contribute to the activities supported by the
Performance Studies Network. Each Visiting Fellow will be able to claim for
eligible maintenance expenses incurred during the period of the Fellowship
up to a stated maximum; relevant travel costs to and/or within the UK will
also be reimbursed, subject to prior approval.
The research undertaken during a CMPCP Visiting Fellowship must address,
whether directly or indirectly, one or more of the following research
questions, which lie at the heart of CMPCP's work in general:
-- How is musical performance creative, and what knowledge is creatively
embodied in musical performance?
-- How does music in performance - and the very act of performance - take
shape over time?
-- How does understanding musical performance as a creative practice vary
across different global contexts, idioms and performance conditions?
Applicants for Visiting Fellowships are expected to have completed a
doctorate prior to applying or to have equivalent professional experience
prior to applying.
The Visiting Fellowship scheme is divided into five phases, the first of
which will commence in April 2012 (application deadline: 1 December 2011).
Further details and an application form can be found by following the link

Please note that in Phase 1 (for Visiting Fellowships starting between 1
April and 30 September 2012), priority may be given to applicants who wish
to be based at King's College London in association with CMPCP's 'Shaping
music in performance' project.
