The Dr. H. Morag M. McCallum PhD studentship is available for 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.
The studentship may be awarded to a home or an international student and provides a fee waiver, as well as an annual stipend for three years (payable in instalments, subject to satisfactory progress) at UKRI PhD level (£21,805 in 26/27). Other expenses related to research activity, including promoting engagement in classical singing as agreed between the scholarship holder and their supervisor, may also be considered for funding.
Selection of the recipient will primarily be based on academic ability with particular focus on the quality of the undergraduate and postgraduate degrees. At the same time, we encourage applications from candidates with a range of alternative expertise and experience who demonstrate readiness for a research degree. Selection will be undertaken by a committee chaired by the Head of School in the School of Culture & Creative Arts with a selection panel of senior academic and administrative staff within the School, including the Music subject head, in conjunction with the College of Arts & Humanities Graduate School.
All initial enquiries should be addressed to Clair.Rowden@glasgow.ac.uk. Applications will be considered and outcomes notified by c. 15 June 2026.
