[Commlist] Research Fellow in Musicians' Earnings at the University of Leeds

The School of Media and Communication at the University of Leeds wishes 
to recruit a fixed-term Research Fellow working full-time from 4 January 
2021 until 31 March 2021 on /Musicians’ Earnings in the Digital Age/, a 
research project led by Professor David Hesmondhalgh and funded by 
Research England’s Quality-Related Strategic Priorities Fund (QR-SPF), 
There is no need to be based in Leeds for the duration of the project, 
but unfortunately the position is only open to candidates who have UK 
citizenship (this is out of the control of the research team, as is the 
duration of the funding).

Further details are here 
<https://jobs.leeds.ac.uk/vacancy.aspx?ref=AHCMC1054> including a link 
to the online application form (the ‘Apply Online’ tab at the bottom of 
the page). The closing date for applications is Tuesday 15 December, 
shortlisting is on 16 December, and interviews will be held on the 
morning of 17 December.

This research extends an existing project on /Music Creators’ Earnings/, 
funded by the UK Intellectual Property Office, and led by Dr Hyojung Sun 
(University of Ulster), who will also work on the new project. Dr 
Richard Osborne (Middlesex University) is co-investigator on both projects.

You will work with Professor Hesmondhalgh, Doctor Sun and Doctor 
Osborne, to gather, collect and analyse evidence concerning changes in 
musicians’ earnings from recordings. This will include interviews with 
key stakeholders, and datasets regarding music streaming and other 
sources of musician income. Part of the research will concern the 
potential implications of a shift on the part of audio-visual companies 
towards paying musicians on the basis of “buy-outs” rather than 
royalties. You will also provide general administrative support for the 
project, such as arranging and checking transcriptions.
