Dr H Morag M McCallum PhD Studentships

The School of Culture & Creative Arts at the University of Glasgow invites applications for the Dr H Morag M McCallum PhD studentship in research related to classical singing (but not pop or jazz) in its widest remit including interdisciplinary projects (theatre, film, translation, etc), performance, pedagogy, musical works, social, cultural, political and artistic movements (contemporary or historical), with a preference for projects that either research underrepresented groups’ engagement with classical singing, or seek to promote such an engagement. The successful candidate would ideally start in October 2026.
