Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Interactive Media and Performance

Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Regina

The Faculty of Fine Arts, with Dr. Charity Marsh, (Canada Research  
Chair in Interactive Media and Performance) at the University of  
Regina, is now advertising for a Post-Doctoral Fellow. The fellowship  
is related to Dr. Marsh’s research in one or more of the following  
areas: 1) (Indigenous) Hip Hop Cultures; 2) DJ Cultures including  
EDM, Club-Culture, Rave Culture, Techno, Psy-Trance, on-line,  
community, and pirate radio; and 3) Isolation, Identity, and Space:  
Production and Performance of Popular Music in Western and Northern  
Canada.

In addition to working on the Canada Research Chair research  
projects, the Post-Doctoral Fellow will have the opportunity to  
develop their own research interests, participate in the broader  
activities of the Interactive Media and Performance Lab (IMP), the  
Interdisciplinary Studies graduate program, Department of Media  
Production and Studies, the Faculty of Fine Arts, and the University  
of Regina. The Post-Doctoral Fellow will have access to the IMP labs  
(which house a multi-media DJ interactive studio and performance/  
workshop space, beat-making/production studio, and an ethnomusicology  
and field work lab), and the New Media Studio Lab (which houses HDTV  
Imaging and Editing Suite, a surround sound research studio, and a 3- 
D visualization lab).

The Post-Doctoral Fellowship is a one-year term, starting May 1, 2008  
(or July 1, 2008), and renewable for a second year after a successful  
year-one review. Funding for this fellowship is provided by the  
University of Regina and the Saskatchewan Innovation and Science  
Fund. The Fellowship award is $32,500 per annum (non-negotiable).

The Post-Doctoral Fellow will be expected to engage in an active  
program of scholarly research in collaboration with Dr. Marsh and  
will be supported by a $2,500 research/travel grant for the tenure of  
the fellowship. The candidate will also have the opportunity to apply  
for sessional teaching and corresponding stipends (up to two half  
courses per year) subject to the availability of funds and the needs  
of the Faculty of Fine Arts and the University of Regina.

The successful applicant will have a recent Ph.D. and research  
experience in the areas of Media Studies, Popular Music Studies,  
Ethnomusicology, Indigenous Studies, Cultural Studies, Socio-Cultural  
Anthropology, or equivalent. The Fellow will have the capacity to  
undertake independent research as well as to manage large and ongoing  
research projects related to the Canada Research Chair in Interactive  
Media and Performance.

Applicants should submit a c.v., a one-page description of a research  
plan that would be carried out during the period of the appointment;  
a description of courses that one could offer in Media/ Film Studies,
