The department has recently adopted a substantially revised curriculum that is designed to engage students with a greater diversity of musical thought and practice; transcend traditional disciplinary boundaries; increase student and community access to music courses and programming; and allow students in the music major to pursue a course of study whose breadth and depth supports their needs as pre-professionals and as people. We particularly welcome applications from candidates interested in contributing to this vision. Job Description:

Evidence of successful teaching as instructor of record at the undergraduate level is required. Applicants must be ABD in musicology or a related field by the time of appointment.
