As part of its general scholarships program, the OICRM launchs the
2014-15 Postdoctoral fellowship scholarship competition in musicology,
ethnomusicology, composition, instrumental didactics, or musical
pedagogy for students who will be completing their fellowship under
the supervision of a regular member of the OICRM.
At Université de Montréal and at Université Laval, instruction is
given in French; it is therefore important that students demonstrate a
good knowledge of French (spoken and read).
The fellowship must start between September 1st, 2014 and February
1st, 2015. It will take place in a relevant research environment,
which must obligatory include a laboratory or/and team research of the
OICRM. Candidates must have
received their doctorate after September 1st, 2010 and before the
beginning of the fellowship).

The scholarship has a value of $22,000 per year, for a maximum
duration of 24 months (2 years).

For candidates with Canadian citizenship (or permanent resident
status), the Postdoctoral scholarship is granted insofar as the
candidate agrees to apply for a scholarship from the FQRSC and the
SSHRC for the second year of his or her fellowship. The OICRM
Postdoctoral scholarship may be combined with other scholarships or
research contracts with the exception of FQRSC and SSHRC
excellence-based grants, up to a maximum amount of $45,000.

For foreign candidates, the Postdoctoral scholarship may be combined
with other scholarships or research contracts up to a maximum amount
of $45,000.

Students who have obtained a doctoral degree from Université de
Montréal cannot apply for the fellowship at Université de Montréal in
the same discipline, just as students who have obtained a doctoral
degree from Université Laval cannot apply for the fellowship at
Université Laval in the same discipline.

The OICRM Postdoctoral scholarship is intended to support the career
development of a researcher who has recently obtained a doctoral
degree. Candidates must show, through their project, that they are
undertaking new research, are publishing or will publish the results
of their research, are creating or extending their network of
research-based resource people, will enrich their teaching experience,
and will contribute to furthering and broadening the field of research
of the researcher, research team, or host lab. Selected projects will
be those that meet a maximum of the set goals.

Proposed projects must be defined in terms of the OICRM's lines of
research: Doing, Learning, Understanding ((cf.
http://oicrm.org/axes-de-recherche/), and must integrate with a
research or research-creation project carried out by a regular member
of the OICRM.
Candidates do not need to be members of the OICRM at the time of
application. Applications of candidates must include:
* A duly completed application form (available at www.oicrm.org
<http://www.oicrm.org/> and at the OICRM office, A-769)
* A letter of motivation justifying the choice of fellowship
place (s) and explaining how the candidate will participate in the
scientific activities of the OICRM.
* Three letters of reference: one from the director of research
providing details of the supervision conditions of the fellowship, as
well as the financial support offered to the candidate (form available
at www.oicrm.org<http://www.oicrm.org/>); one from the director of
thesis: one from a researcher who is not a member of the OICRM.
* A recent transcript from the last program of study
* A digital copy of the doctoral thesis or, for those who are
still ending their doctoral studies: some chapters of their thesis and
a recently published article.

Candidates must at the same time also submit an application for
admission to the Faculty of Graduate and
Postdoctoral Studies at the host university.

Application deadline: Friday 9 May 2014
