Position description
The UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music's Department of Ethnomusicology invites applications for a part-time lecturer position in Global Dynamics of K-Pop for Fall quarter of the 2024-25 academic year.
Responsibilities will include individual student teaching supervision and assigned undergraduate ethnomusicology courses. Additional responsibilities may include advising credential candidates on preparing standardized assessment documents and other issues related to certification.
Applicants should have an established regional, national, and/or international reputation as a music educator with expertise and experience in K-pop--South Korea's most significant cultural export. Close attention is paid to global influences that have shaped Korean popular music in earlier decades and in turn, the unprecedented global reach of K-pop in recent history. Study is divided into three units: contextualizing K-pop, transnational flows in K-pop, and critical takes on K-pop. Each unit features distinctive case studies, and lectures draw out some of broader linkages between units as they relate to modern Korean history, Cold War geopolitical formations and legacies, the modern South Korean state and economy, and the spread of Korean popular culture. Study draws on a wide array of scholarly articles, journalistic pieces, music videos, webinars, and online resources while foregrounding larger issues that emerge through cultural analysis. A post-baccalaureate degree is required.
Candidates should submit: a cover letter stating interest in the position, a comprehensive curriculum vitae, a statement of teaching philosophy, and a statement of contribution to diversity. In addition, please provide names and contact information for at least three professional references. Applicants may consider including online video links representing their teaching although doing so is not required.
The application deadline is August 18, 2024, with an anticipated appointment date of October 1, 2024.
