 * The UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music’s Department of Musicology seeks a scholar in the early stages of their career for a tenure track appointment at the level of Assistant Professor. The position requires a researcher of great promise who will add to and complement the intellectual achievements of the current Musicology faculty, and whose research interests include theoretical, historical, or practical approaches to the study of musical industries, broadly defined, and the cultural issues they raise, such as: formations of identity and capital; global vernacular cultures; organology, technology, and innovation; venues, cities, tourism, and migration; mass media culture, intellectual property rights, social economies of music production, etc. The successful candidate will demonstrate aptitude for, and, ideally, have some experience working with academic programs in music industry, technology, business, or sound production.
 * All applicants are expected to have a Ph.D. in Musicology or related field in hand by June 2020. Applicants are also expected to have a well-developed research agenda and should be prepared to teach a wide variety of musical subjects at the graduate, undergraduate, and general education levels. Relevant professional experience in the music industry, though not a requirement, may also be considered.
 * The Department of Musicology, one of three departments comprising the new UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music, is a leading program in its discipline worldwide. The Department administers the Alpert School’s free-standing Minor in Music Industry, open to all UCLA students, and is preparing to launch a departmental B.A. in Music History and Industry. The department expects robust growth in this area, and seeks an innovative, dynamic educator to help guide it in collaboration with current faculty.
 * The position is open until October 1, 2019. To apply, submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, teaching statement, statement on contributions to equity, diversity and inclusion, and the names and addresses of three references. Please do this ONLINE at [//recruit.apo.ucla.edu/apply/JPF04673 https://recruit.apo.ucla.edu/apply/JPF04673]
 * 7/23 UCLA search committee chair edit: A key line in the full posting was embedded in the EOE paragraph, and we worked hard on it, so I'll add it here:  "Strong preference in the current search will be given to candidates whose work on the music industry directly engages social justice issues such as access, equity, representation, and control of intellectual property." FYI.
 * 7/28 "in the early stages of their career."  Does this mean that people who've been employed in non-tenure-track appointments for some years need not apply?

University College Cork: Post-Doctoral Researcher, Hip Hop Studies - 2 positions

 * Deadline: 09 September 2019
 * Two Post-Doctoral Researcher posts in Hip Hop Studies, are available at the Department of Music in the School of Film, Music, and Theatre at University College Cork. The positions are funded by the European Research Council and are associated with the research project CIPHER: Hip Hop Interpellation . This study of global hip hop knowledge flows will synergize ethnographic and computational methods to examine how hip hop “unlocks the global through the local.” The principal investigator of the project is Professor J. Griffith Rollefson.
 * We look to hire two Post-Doctoral Researchers with specialization in the hip hop cultures of any world culture region(s) outside of Europe and North America. Especially welcome (but not necessary) will be hip hop scholars with specialisms in two or more cultural/musical/linguistic areas (e.g. Japanese and Mandarin; Wolof, French, and Arabic; Spanish, Tagalog, and English).
 * This study of global hip hop knowledge flows will synergize ethnographic and computational methods to examine how we might conceive of hip hop as a form of “bottom-up globalization.” The successful candidates may have a disciplinary background rooted in any of the four traditional “elements” of hip hop (DJing/turntablism, MCing/rapping, graffiti/street art, bboy/bgirl dance) or any university discipline, but must demonstrate a deep knowledge of and commitment to hip hop’s “fifth element”: knowledge (of self). The postdoctoral scholars will also demonstrate knowledge of the theory and methods of ethnographic fieldwork and/or community engaged scholarship and have an established track record in such work. The successful candidates will have linguistic, musical, and cultural specializations in one or more geographic communities and an ability to do community-engaged work across various cultural sites and scenes. In their project proposal, the candidates are expected to outline how their research record, interests, and skills align with the CIPHER project – namely, how they might explore hip hop’s localizations in their field(s) of cultural specialization. Citing specific “gems” of local hip hop knowledge in the context of the proposal will be particularly advantageous.
 * The Post-Doctoral Researchers will work closely with J. Griffith Rollefson, as well as doctoral student researchers, a team of Computational Analysts with specializations in social media, big data, stylometry, and sonic analysis, an Advisory Board of established global hip hop scholars, and an Artistic Council of global hip hop artists.
 * The successful candidates will have access to dedicated funds for research and conference travel, and assist with the organization of CIPHER’s international conferences and publications.
 * The successful candidates are expected to live in Cork, Ireland and become part of the research environment/network of the university and contribute to its development. The Post-Doctoral Researchers are expected to publish independently and together with the CIPHER team, present research papers at workshops and international conferences, and contribute to popular dissemination of the research results.
 * Post Duration: 2 years
 * Salary: €37,221 - €44,266 p.a. (IUA Salary Scale)
 * CRITERIA
 * PhD in relevant humanities and social science field that offer a solid foundation for research in hip hop studies (e.g. ethno/musicology, ethnic/area studies, cultural studies, anthropology, education, media studies, African American studies, sociology, art history, etc.). The doctoral dissertation must have been submitted for evaluation before the application deadline.
 * Experience in ethnographic and/or community-engaged research.
 * The candidate's research must be closely engaged with the field of hip hop studies and/or aligned with the CIPHER initiative’s methods, aims, an ethos.
 * Appropriate technical competence and accomplishment.
 * A capability of working within a project team to achieve results.:*Good communication, organisation and interpersonal skills.
 * A commitment to gaining practical experience working on a research project.
 * Ability to work well within a team.
 * Personal suitability and motivation for the position.
 * Please note that Garda vetting and international police clearance check may form part of the selection process.


 * For Informal Enquiries on the post candidates should contact: Name: J. Griffith Rollefson; Title: Professor of Music; Email Address: cipher@ucc.ie; Telephone: +353 (0)21 490 4530
 * To Apply: Applicants must submit the following attachments in pdf format, via email, to J. Griffith Rollefson, Professor of Music, cipher@ucc.ie, +353 (0)21 490 4530, on or before the closing date 9 September 2019.
 * Application Letter (max 2 pages) describing the applicant’s qualifications and motivation for the position
 * Curriculum Vitae (complete list of education, positions, teaching experience, administrative experience and other qualifying activities, including a complete list of publications)
 * Project description (max 3 pages). The project description should address the following questions: (1) How will your work synergize with and/or augment CIPHER’s theory and methods? Please use a specific example or examples of hip hop knowledge from the music, lyrics, dance, imagery, or performance from your region(s) of specialization. How do these examples align with or complicate the theory of Hip Hop Interpellation outlined in the CIPHER proposal ; (2) How will you draw upon your disciplinary, artistic, and theoretical background and previous research or practical experience when working on the project? How will that background benefit the project?; and (3) what will be the details of your methodological approach, and how will you deal with potential practical and ethical challenges.


 * Please note that all documents must be in English.
 * The short-listed candidates will be invited to an interview by Skype or at UCC. Details of interview will be finalised at a later date. It is envisaged that the posts will start between January and May 2020 and run for two years. It is also envisaged that a further 1-2 postdoctoral posts will be advertised in years 2-3 of the five-year CIPHER study.
 * Finalists who are not selected for the two posts--and promising scholars with specializations outside of the specified regions--will be encouraged to apply for external funding to join the CIPHER Team. Qualified candidates will receive application support from the PI and UCC's Research Office in the application process. Applicants with specializations in any area of global hip hip studies (incl. Europe and North America) are encouraged to investigate the ERC's Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowships page at: [//ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/opportunities/topic-details/msca-if-2019 https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/opportunities/topic-details/msca-if-2019] (See also: Fulbright, SSRC, Irish Research Council) and email cipher@ucc.ie with a 1-page proposal for vetting.

Part-time / Adjunct Positions
Georgian Court University, (Lakewood, NJ): Adjunct Lecturer - Music History (Online Course Developer) (Deadline: Open until filled, posted July 30, 2019)

GENERAL DISCUSSION
Musicology/Ethnomusicology 2018-19 Wiki Moderator: 5120j (5120janon@gmail.com)


 * A few comments from 5120j:
 * 1. My rule of thumb for deciding which jobs to post is: "COULD an ethno/musicologist fill this post?" Not the more narrow question "WILL an ethno/musicologist fill this post?" So, this means I will post more general "humanities" jobs, and positions (mostly at small schools) looking for someone to teach music history/appreciation but also direct an ensemble/teach applied lessons/etc. (If the most important part of the job seems to be the ensemble directing/applied lessons and music history/appreciation is an add-on, I don't post it.)
 * 2. I post almost the entire text of the job ad (except in the case of part-time/adjunct jobs) so that if any changes are made later, they can be noticed and noted. The ads also usually disappear from the institution's website after the application deadline has passed, so it's helpful to preserve them here. And it's very instructive to see how the winning candidate did and didn't fit the job as it was advertised. I do usually excise the description of the hiring school/department/facilities and the EOE boilerplate, but I leave the rest of it as-is. Removing anything more feels like editorializing on my part.
 * 3. I don't have a current membership to CMS/MVL or SEM so if jobs are posted only in those locations, I won't see them. I don't think we've missed too many in the last few years though, since most jobs are advertised fairly widely.
 * 4. My anon email is 5120janon at gmail, and I welcome comments and questions about the wiki and its moderation this year. I'm not a musicologist of any type and am not (and will not be) on the market myself, but I have a professional interest in the ethno/musicology job market.


 * 7/30 Posted under the UC San Diego Jazz/African Diaspora job and the Univ of Richmond Sociology job: Why is this listed under "Miscellaneous" instead of the main category? It is a full-time position in an area we consider to be part of musicology. Thanks for considering!
 * 5120j response: My reasoning is that the "Musicology," "Ethnomusicology," and "Ethnomusicology/Musicology" categories are for jobs that state that they are looking to hire someone with a PhD in Musicology, Ethnomusicology, or a closely related field (like Chicago's "History and Theory of Music." "Miscellaneous" is where I put jobs that COULD hire someone with a degree in one of those areas, but are also (or primarily) open to hiring someone with a degree/training/background in another field. In the case of Univ of Richmond, the ad states that a PhD in Sociology is preferred, and for UC San Diego, the job ad reads as if they are primarily looking for someone with a jazz performance/ensemble background (notice not even the Master's degree is required). For that reason, I wouldn't categorize either of those as "Musicology" or "Ethnomusicology" jobs, though I think there are certainly many candidates would would consider themselves musicologists/ethnomusicologists and who have the corresponding PhD who would be great fits for both positions. However, I'm open to other opinions! I know that not everyone loves the categories and would prefer that we go back to one giant list of musicology/ethnomusicology-related jobs. One of the main reasons for splitting it up was that the one-giant-list method becomes impossible to edit by March of each year - the editing page gets really slow. Having things broken up has helped a lot. But again, I'm open to hearing other perspectives - my primary goal is to get job ads in front of those of you on the market and to make it easy (or at least easier) to find the information you need to apply in a timely fashion.
 * 8/4 Another user here—I really appreciate this distinction, and I find it useful from a practical standpoint as well. (I'm also a fan of breaking out ethno/musicology/both jobs into categories, too—I'm strictly a historical musicologist, so I'm happy not to have to sift through jobs that don't apply to me.)
 * 8/5 I too like this arrangment for the reasons stated above.
