The PEERS programme – a pre-PhD programme of the Department of Performing Arts and Film at Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK) – is looking for five mid-career artists with profound artistic practice in theatre, dance, performance or film. Candidates must hold an MA or an equivalent degree. They will be expected to develop research and have a viable research plan. Its main aim is to support emerging artistic researchers who are interested in pursuing a doctorate in the arts, foremost yet not exclusively in the performing arts and film.
For a period of one year, starting in March 2024, participants will be offered the opportunity to benefit from an intensive mentoring and training programme. They will benefit from peer-to-peer learning in the Junior Research Group and will receive tailored support aimed at advancing their research. PEERS fellows will be assisted in developing their research plan, as well as in searching and applying for artistic PhD programmes at ZHdK and beyond. They will become part of the vibrant research environment at ZHdK (benefiting from lab-practices, colloquia, symposia, research academies), and will gain access to the University’s outstanding infrastructure and relevant professional networks.
