You may want to look into Northwestern University. Liz Cifani, principal harp of the Lyric Opera, teaches there and focuses mainly on contemporary music. There is quite a bit of contemporary music in Chiago as well, and you may find it a fertile place for collaboration.
Besides that, the Royal Conservatory is well-known for its composition department with a.o. Louis Andriessen as teacher. This year, Heiner Goebbels will have his festival at this institute. Composers like Messiaen, Cage, Kagel, Ligeti, Kurt��g and Reich visited The Hague extensively in such festivals.
Susan Jolles at Manhattan School of Music is expert in contemporary music, as is Sara Cutler, a superb harpist who is on the faculty of Brooklyn College, both with post-graduate programs. California Institute of the Arts specializes in that kind of music, and Susan Allen is on the faculty. There is also a lot of activity in Boston, where you could study with Ann Pilot or other teachers. You will find almost any university has contemporary music composing and performing ensembles.
