*Job description*

The post-doctoral research fellow position is associated with the 
project Music on Demand: Economy and Copyright in a Digitised Cultural 
Sector (MUSEC) 
<http://www.hf.uio.no/imk/forskning/prosjekter/musec/musec.-project-description.pdf>

KULMEDIA 
<http://www.forskningsradet.no/prognett-kulmedia/Home_page/1253998102173> 
programme.


The overall aim of the project is to provide new insight into how music

“Negotiations of economy and copyright”, (2) “Competition in national 
and global markets” and (3) “Interventions of state policy”. The 
research project will offer novel contributions of knowledge to academic 
research on cultural production, to those working in the music sector, 
as well as to the public policymakers responsible for it.

The successful candidate will be responsible for a work package (2) in 
the research project, which is titled “Competition in national and 
global markets”. The aim of this work package is to examine how

method will be a survey covering large sections of the music sector.
