Job description

Applications are invited for three fully funded, five-year PhD positions
(0.8 FTE) within the research project “The Platformization of Music:
Towards a Global Theory” (PlatforMuse), financed by an ERC Starting Grant

How are music streaming and social media platforms changing the working
conditions and creative practices of music artists around the world? How
can we better understand the transformative impact of “platformization”
through the lens of music? With case studies in the Netherlands, South
Korea, and Nigeria, PlatforMuse takes music as a medium through which to
examine the global dynamics of platformization.

The project will employ three PhD students who will each focus on one of
the case study countries in collaboration with the PI. The PhDs will work
both in the Netherlands (Groningen) and in either Nigeria, South Korea, or
the Netherlands for field work.

This PhD project offers a unique opportunity to work in an international
environment and to acquire valuable research experience.
