Merton College Oxford invites applications for a Visiting Research Fellowship in the Creative Arts. Applications are invited in any area of musical composition (broadly understood) for the academic year 2020-21.

The principal goal of this new scheme is to create synergies between the creative arts and academia and promote the College as a centre for artistic research and innovation.

The holder of the Fellowship, which is open both to early-career and established candidates, will be expected to undertake a sustained period of intensive work in their field while also participating fully in College life and exploring ways to communicate their work to all members of the College community: fellows, staff, students, and alumni.

The Fellowship can be held for any period between two months and one year, the timescale being determined by the needs of the proposed project.

The College will provide meals and accommodation and a stipend of up to £2,015 per month, with additional provision for expenses involving research, travel, and materials up to a maximum of £316 per month. The Stipend will be subject to tax and National Insurance and would be pensionable.
