Kungl. Musikhögskolan i Stockholm (KMH) is Sweden’s only independent higher education institution focused on music. The announcement is for two doctoral positions in music, offered within one of the institution’s artistic specialisations: folk music, jazz, music production, composition, conducting and music theory, or classical music. The doctoral education is grounded in artistic research in music. Students work from their own musical practice and professional activity, developing research that can contribute to the wider music field and adjacent disciplines. The advert highlights possible directions such as interpretation and performance practice, improvisation, composition, interactivity, and human-machine interaction. The doctoral student will carry out thesis work toward a PhD in music and take part in regular supervision and seminars covering both artistic work and theoretical deepening. The research process is organised through milestone seminars at 25, 50 and 75 percent. The position may also include up to 20 percent departmental duties such as teaching, supervision, or other academic responsibilities. KMH presents the role as part of an active research environment in which doctoral students contribute to the development of artistic research in music. The institution conducts research and doctoral education in music and music education and is involved in artistic and pedagogical research and development projects nationally and internationally. The post is based in Stockholm, while the doctoral student is admitted to doctoral education at Lund University. The search for candidates is overseen by subject representative Prof. Henrik Frisk.
