 * Has anyone encountered information on a way to apply other than snail mail?
 * No, how about doing what they ask you to do if you want the job?
 * Thanks, that's fantastically helpful and civil. [x3]
 * Indeed ... unnecessary and not exactly collegial. [x3]
 * No school is required to have an online application.
 * Of course not. Still, virtually every school accepts applications via email (it saves everybody considerable time and money). In any case, the point is there is absolutely no need to be uncivil when a colleague posts here a simple, inoffensive question. [x3]
 * Does anyone know if this is a new position? Or a replacement position? If replacement, does anyone know whose job it is?
 * This is a replacement position
 * I've heard some particularly damning critiques of the music dept.—specifically that they neither understand nor care about scholarship, and that when performance majors and grad students complain that academic seminars are hard, other applied music faculty reliably take their side and throw their academic colleagues under the bus.
 * I've heard CMU has never tenured a musicologist in its history.
 * A quick Google search turns up no instances of CMU having had an Assoc. Prof. of Musicology. Hey search committee, if you're reading this, be ready to explain to interviewees why they'd want to join your department...
 * Got a very polite snail mail letter confirming receipt of my materials, saying they were working on reviewing everyone's applications, and wishing me well. That's old-school, but really rather nice of them. [x3; agreed!]
 * I didn't get any snail mail letter. Can anybody confirm when the letter arrived? Thanks. [x4]
 * I believe I received my letter around 13 Nov.
 * I got two snail mail letters saying the same thing, one right after I sent the application (end of Oct) and a second around 13 Nov. Thought it was a bit odd. Perhaps a clerical error wherein one was meant for someone else?
 * To add to the mystery of the CMU letters: I sent my materials in before Nov. 1st (w/delivery confirmation). I received my letter today (12/10). It was dated 12/4 and postmarked 12/7. Perhaps they're sending these things in batches; I'll be interested to know if anyone else has just gotten one, or gets one in the coming days.
 * Received a letter today (12/14), dated 12/10.
 * I received a letter just a few days ago (12/28?) stating that all applications received by Dec. 15 were being considered. That may mean that we will start to see some progress. [x2]
 * Request for additional materials 01/09 [x3] <— Via email or snail?
 * What did they request if I might ask? 1/24
 * Recommendation letters, transcripts, and a broad request for any additional materials the committee should consider 1/25
 * 1/27 Did they give anyone a due date for these materials? I tried emailing the search chair but got no response. My recommenders would like to know.
 * Materials were requested via email. For the record, I never got a confirmation letter.
 * Did anyone who applied not get a confirmation letter?
 * Yes. (Meaning no confirmation letter.) [x5]
 * Campus interview scheduled (2/22)
 * Rejection email indicating a hire had been made. 4/8

===Deutches Museum: Postdoctoral Research Scholar in Musicology (Deadline: 12 April 2016)===


 * The new research group “Materiality of Musical Instruments: New Approaches to a Cultural History of Organology” (directed by Dr Rebecca Wolf) offers one position as a postdoctoral research scholar for a fixed-term appointment for 3 years, starting on 1 June 2016. The research group is funded by the Leibniz Association.
 * The research group’s focus lies on the materials in musical instrument building from the second half of the eighteenth century and asks how experimentation in this field influenced music and musical culture over time. The core aim of the group is to develop an extended concept of materiality for musicological research, combining methodologies from musicology with approaches from the history of acoustics and material studies.
 * The research group consists of three sub-projects; the postdoctoral position is to work on one of these sub-projects, entitled “Wood: Material of Nature and Music.” It focuses on one of the most diverse materials in musical instrument building. As early as 1968 Jean Baudrillard was discussing the supposed dichotomy of nature and culture in the context of wood, and asking questions about the tonal quality of the mate-rial and its potential to represent a worldview. This may serve as a theoretical starting point and could also make a case for the subject’s contemporary relevance. At the end of the eighteenth century, piano builders developed methods for maturing of wood to give it more stability; today violinmakers still go directly to the forest to look for wood with the correct tonal quality. Both kinds of instrument builders need experience, knowledge, and techniques to identify the ideal material and to work with it to best effect. Which current and historical processes govern this transfer of knowledge, and what can they tell us about the ideal sound quality? The topicality of wood as a subject for study includes current debates about sustainability in the manufacture of musical instruments. This ecomusicological aspect, and the implications for sound and tone, would be an important additional perspective for the project.
 * Major duties: Independent research on the sub-project “Wood: Material of Nature and Music;” Presentations and publications related to this sub-project and related topics within the discipline; Contribution to the conceptionalization and organization of the group’s colloquia and workshops, and participation in the activities of the research institute; Contribution to the development of the research group’s database and website.
 * Essential criteria: Completed doctoral degree in musicology or related field with focus to music or sound studies; Proven expertise in material culture studies, organology, and/or ecomusicology; Very good knowledge of English and proficiency in German
 * Desirable criteria: Research interests in cultural history and in the history of science and technology; focus on ethnomusicology, environmental studies and/or anthropology; Experience with interdisciplinary working methods; Good knowledge of digital humanities
 * Personal/social/methodological competences: Initiative, analytical ability; Communication skills, team work, cooperativeness; Focus on targets, ability to think in the abstract, organizational capacity
 * We offer: An interesting and diverse workplace with family friendly working hours in central Munich. A fixed term contract for 3 years, funded by the Leibniz Society. The Deutsche Museum offers an initial six-month contract with the option of renewal.
 * Salary scale: E 13 TV-L (3,517 – 4,112 € per month).
 * Part-time employment possible in principle (but not on a mini-job basis).
 * The Deutsche Museum supports gender equality in the workplace and especially welcomes applications from women. Qualified applicants with severe disabilities will be given preference, providing their needs can be met within the requirements of the position.
 * Application process: Applicants should submit: a detailed cover letter, curriculum vitae (including list of publications), copies of degree certificates (M.A., PhD), a research proposal on a topic related to the sub-project described above (max 750 words), and the name and address of two referees. Applicants may submit documents in English or German. The deadline is 12 April 2016 (CET).
 * If you have any further questions, please contact Rebecca Wolf, r.wolf@deutsches-museum.de, +49 (0)89 2179-282. We cannot consider applications that are received after the deadline.
 * Please send your application electronically with job reference No. 1615 as a single pdf-file to: bewerbung@deutsches-museum.de.

Dickinson College: Assistant Professor of Music (Early Music/Ethnomusicology) (Deadline: Review begins 16 November 2015)

 * The Department of Music at Dickinson College invites applications for a tenure-track position in Early Music/Ethnomusicology at the rank of assistant professor to begin in July 2016. Qualifications for the position include: a doctorate in either musicology or ethnomusicology (ABD with projected completion date prior to appointment start will be considered); demonstrated excellence in teaching; clear evidence of and potential for significant scholarly contributions to the field; and an understanding of how the study of music contributes to a liberal arts education. A candidate’s interest in directing a performance ensemble related to their field of expertise will be considered but is not required of the position. The successful candidate will possess strong communication and interpersonal skills, enjoy working collaboratively in a liberal arts environment, be prepared eventually to lead the department as Chair, and show the ability to create inclusive learning environments for an increasingly diverse student body.
 * The position is a five-course load that is primarily topics driven. This would allow the candidate some flexibility in defining and designing their offerings. It would include an annual undergraduate survey of western music (800-1750); two 200-level courses in the history/cultural arena (current offerings include Ethnomusicology; Music in the United States; and Music and Film); an upper-divisional seminar (pre-1750 or cross-cultural); and a possible contribution to our theory, studio, or ensemble offerings. All courses within the department are open to both majors and non-majors. Interdisciplinary and innovative pedagogical approaches are encouraged.
 * Please submit the following:
 * Cover Letter
 * Curriculum Vitae
 * Three Letters of Recommendation
 * TEACHING: Sample Syllabus or One-Page Statement of Teaching Philosophy
 * SCHOLARSHIP: Two examples of written work; One-Page Research Statement


 * Dickinson College is a highly selective four-year, independent liberal arts college with 2300 students. It is located 20 minutes west of Harrisburg and is a two-hour drive from Baltimore, Washington DC and Philadelphia. Interested candidates should apply for this position electronically via https//jobs.dickinson.edu.
 * Review of applications will begin November 16, 2015. Please direct any questions regarding the position to: rohrers@dickinson.edu.
 * Posting Date: 11/11/2015
 * Application Review Begin Date: 11/16/2015
 * (Applications will be accepted and considered after this date, but they highly encourage applicants to post materials by December)
 * This was posted four days before applications are due and they want someone to do a very unusual combination of things. Does this mean the job is likely being tailored to a specific internal candidate? Should I even bother applying as a "regular" early music scholar? (11/14)
 * Institutional Response: There is no internal candidate for the position; the position is replacing a retiring colleague. The early/ethno designation signifies what areas the candidate will be responsible for within the department (teaching), but the area of research specialization must not necessarily involve both early music and ethnomusicology. For example, it would be possible for an early music candidate to apply successfully whose research also dialogues with methods or issues within ethnomusicology. We envision quite a bit of flexibility for candidates in designing their own elective courses and seminars and look forward to what ideas a candidate has. The date associated with the search is not a final deadline, but just the date that the department will start tracking/reviewing applications (this is dictated by the college, not the department). Serious candidates should submit their materials by mid-December for full consideration. (11/15)

 * N.B. "prepare and maintain machine-readable texts in multiple languages" is a phrase I've never come across in a job posting before. In fact, google suggests that it's a novel coinage for the English language as a whole. Congratulations, Indiana University, for your contribution to linguistic diversity. Now, can anyone from the department explain what in the heck it is that they're asking us to be competent at?
 * Only conjecture here, but often such overly-specific and/or obscure qualifications within a job description suggests a pre-ordained candidate.
 * When you combine the phrase you pulled out with the one just before and the one just after, it seems pretty clear to me that the person they hire will be expected to contribute in a significant way to the CHMTL . No need to jump to the conspiracy theory here.
 * Machine-readable languages refers to things like TEI and MEI. That makes sense given the mention of music digital humanities.
 * 3/31 [I have to do this all the time in German, French, Italian, and English. Having said that, look at their department make-up. They're all from Madrid or nearby]
 * 3/31 This is a weird comment. No one on the IU musicology faculty is Spanish.
 * 2/25 Any movement here?

It may be that someone already on the faculty was "set up" for this position. Time will tell..."
 * 3/30 I was interviewed. They're looking for a director. They need leadership and funding. The main issue is management experience; early music specialty is secondary.
 * 3/31 Thanks for the feedback! The job description is NOT clear as the put more emphasis on an early music specialist than an administrator. Would have been nicer of IU to post that clearly.

 * 2/3 Why would it reduce the pool, if it's an optional credential for the job?
 * Alright then, never mind about "pool reduction." I am still curious. Can anybody explain what that credential is/was?
 * 2/4 "Q#2: Can a California Community College Credential be used to apply for a faculty position at a California Community College? A: Yes. The issuance of Community College credentials was discontinued in 1990, but lifetime credentials issued before 1990 are “grandfathered” into the MQ (minimum qualifications) process and accepted as meeting the MQs for faculty positions. As a result of Assembly Bill 1725 (1988), MQs are now determined on academic preparation (for both master’s and non-master’s disciplines) and relevant work experience (for non-master’s disciplines) when qualifying individuals for faculty positions---according to the Disciplines List and local equivalency processes."

This is a tenure-track or tenured appointment at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor, with a preferred starting date of July 1, 2016, subject to budgetary approval. Further information on the Queen’s National Scholar Program can be found on the website of the Office of the Provost and Vice-Principal (Academic): http://www.queensu.ca/provost/teaching-and-learning/queens-national-scholar-program.
 * Candidates must hold a PhD (or equivalent) in a relevant field. The main criterion for selection is academic and teaching excellence. The successful candidate will be an emerging leader in the study of Music Theatre and Opera. In speaking of opera separately in the description “Music Theatre and Opera”, we emphasize that we intend to include singing theatre in all its manifestations. The School of Drama and Music, recently created through the merger of the Department of Drama and the School of Music, intends this position to help expand our offerings and invigorate our international and interdisciplinary research and teaching in the area shared by our disciplines. Significant support for these activities is supplied by our shared facilities in the new Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts: http://www.theisabel.ca/.
 * This position will offer the successful candidate an opportunity to help define and contribute towards what we envision will become the pre-eminent academic program devoted to the study of Music Theatre in Canada, recognized as such internationally. Accordingly, we are seeking a scholar engaged in inspirational and dynamic research in this field rather than seeking to fill a preconceived niche. Recognizing that performance is an integral part of our existing program, experience as a practitioner in some aspect of Music Theatre will be considered an asset.
 * The candidate will display strong potential for outstanding teaching contributions at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, in courses that combine creativity and experiential learning, and theory with practice, and will be prepared to become involved in developing a graduate program within the School of Drama and Music.
 * The University invites applications from all qualified individuals. Queen's is committed to employment equity and diversity in the workplace and welcomes applications from women, visible minorities, Aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities, and LGBTQ persons. All candidates are encouraged to apply; however, in accordance with Canadian Immigration requirements, Canadian citizens and Permanent Residents of Canada will be given priority.
 * To comply with Federal laws, the University is obliged to gather statistical information about how many applicants for each job vacancy are Canadian citizens / permanent residents of Canada. Applicants need not identify their country of origin or citizenship, however, all applications must include one of the following statements: “I am a Canadian citizen / permanent resident of Canada”; OR, “I am not a Canadian citizen / permanent resident of Canada”. Applications that do not include this information will be deemed incomplete.
 * A complete application consists of: (i) a cover letter (including one of the two statements regarding Canadian citizenship / permanent resident status specified in the previous paragraph), (ii) a full curriculum vitae (including a list of publications, awards and grants received), (iii) a statement of teaching interests and experience (including teaching philosophy, as well as teaching outlines and evaluations if available), (iv) a statement of current and prospective research interests, (v) a writing sample, and (vi) a minimum of three letters of reference. At least one of the letters of reference must be at arm’s length, and the letters should preferably be from more than one university or other appropriate institutions. Reference letters should be dated, and include the referee’s name, position, department, institution, email address and telephone number, the name of the nominee, and the period of time and the capacity in which the referee has known the nominee.
 * Applicants are encouraged to send all documents in their application package electronically (either PDFs or MS Word files) to Sheri Wilson at sw16@queensu.ca. Ms Wilson will also forward any questions about the position or the application process to Dr. Craig Walker, Director of the School of Drama and Music.

 * Appointments are subject to review and final approval by the Principal. Candidates holding an existing tenure-track or continuing-adjunct appointment at Queen’s will not be considered.
 * The deadline for applications is February 1, 2016, with interviews to be held shortly thereafter.
 * Anyone know what a letter of reference "at arm's lenth" means?

Rutgers University, Center for Cultural Analysis: 2016-2017 CCA Postdoctoral Fellowship (Deadline: 08 January 2016)

 * “Arts” and “aesthetics” have been integrally linked since the eighteenth century, but this was not always the case. Aesthetics, originally denoting knowledge through sense perception, only later became concerned with taste and judgment, or value and beauty, and integral over time to what we now call “criticism.” Art, initially describing craft, practical skill or technique with matter, language and sound, later migrated to embrace formalism and individual as well as cultural expression. The 2016-17 CCA seminar “Arts and Aesthetics” will explore the divergences and convergences of these related but fundamentally different ideas, approaching them from the perspectives of philosophy, literary history, art history, the fine arts, the history of science, and political and cultural theory. Topics are likely to include form and formalism; the history of criticism and critique; theories of perception; and questions of representation generally, ranging from photography, to painting, sculpture, music, architecture, performance, and conceptual as well as outsider art. Throughout, the idea of the “liberal arts” and their status in 2016—Rutgers University’s 250th year—will be an abiding concern.
 * In 2016-17, CCA will sponsor two external post-doctoral fellowships with awards of $45,000. CCA also awards non-funded associate fellowships. All fellows will have access to the Center’s resources during the tenure of the fellowship and will be expected to participate in and to present their work to the Center seminars, which meet regularly throughout the academic year, and to teach one advanced undergraduate course in their core discipline. All inquiries should be directed to info@cca.rutgers.edu. Please do not direct inquiries to the seminar leaders.
 * Qualifications: All requirements for the PhD must be completed by June 30, 2016.
 * Application Instructions: Please submit a cover letter, CV, three confidential letters of recommendation, a detailed research statement (no more than 4 single-spaced pages), a 250-400 word abstract of your research project, and a detailed proposal for an advanced undergraduate course that you would like to teach.

4/9 yes. I spoke with a faculty member about it.
 * Any movement here?
 * None yet as of 12/12
 * Pretty long time here...
 * Probably got stalled over the holiday break.
 * Request for phone interview (1/6) x2
 * Rejection email (1/11) x4
 * Without wishing to add confusion/pain to possible injury/disappointment, can I ask if these rejection emails came after phone interviews? I submitted an app but didn't get an interview or a no email. x5
 * For me, no phone interview. Submitted my application and the next contact was the rejection email on 1/11. Good luck!
 * Received rejection email (1/13) without phone interview (actually, received two rejection emails from Towson today--seem to be going out in batches)
 * Question above- phone interviews have not yet taken place. I assume they decided to notify non-short-listed applicants immediately that their applications are no longer being considered. Since many schools have HR procedures requiring search committees to wait until a job offer has been accepted to contact unsuccessful candidates- and many others simply don't bother sending a rejection email- it comes across as unusual. (1/14)
 * Thanks for the info!
 * Rejection email received (without phone interview request) (1/18) x3
 * Interesting, I haven't received a rejection email yet (1/29). x2
 * Campus interviews have been scheduled (2/18)
 * Search concluded without a hire (4/8)
 * 4/9 Before I add this to the failed searches list, can anyone corroborate? - 5120j (moderator)

 * Received request for more material (12/4)
 * Received request for campus interview (12/30)
 * To the person who reverted this entry, may I ask why? The link that was posted seemed like it contained relevant information to the topic of this wiki, and it is publicly available. I don't have any particular stake in this, I'm just curious what is the rationale for not having that link here.
 * Hi, I'm the admin that reverted it. I think it's one thing to post the names of those who have accepted an offer (which very few wikis do, actually - we are one of the few that lists the names of successful candidates) but it's another thing entirely to post the names of people who are at this point only interviewing (and whose home departments may or may not know they're on the market). If someone would post the names of interviewing candidates on the wiki, we would delete those - and have, on the rare occasions when this has happened. However, since this link was to publicly accessible information on the UC Berkeley site, I will not be deleting it from the history of the wiki, and if anyone is curious, it can be found there easily enough.

University of Cambridge: Postdoctoral Research Fellow (3 positions) (Deadline: 14 March 2016)

 * Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 3 years in the first instance.
 * 3 Fixed Term Postdoctoral Research Fellowships for an ERC-funded project, 'Sound and Materialism in the 19th Century.'
 * Vacancy Reference Number GT08326
 * Salary: £28,982 - £37,768 per annum (Grade 7, steps 39 to 48) Limit of tenure applies
 * We have a vacancy for three Postdoctoral Research Fellows to work on an ERC-funded project 'Sound and Materialism in the 19th Century', based in the Faculty of Music in Cambridge. These are fixed-term appointments for three years starting on 1 September 2016.
 * About the project: The research project aims to enlarge substantially our understanding of the dialogue between 19th-century music and natural science. It examines in particular how a scientific-materialist conception of sound was formed alongside a dominant culture of romantic idealism. Placing itself at the intersection of historical musicology and the history and philosophy of science, the project will investigate the view that sound, for a time the cherished mantle of idealist metaphysics, was also regarded by writers, composers, scientists and engineers as tangible, material and subject to physical laws; that scientific thinking was not anathema but - at key moments - intrinsic to music aesthetics and criticism; that philosophies of mind and theories of the creative process also drew on mechanical rules of causality and associative 'laws'; and that the technological innovations brought about by scientific research - from steam trains to stethoscopes - were accompanied by new concepts and new ways of listening that radically impacted the sound world of composers, critics, and performers.
 * About the role: Appointees will be key members of the project's research team, carrying out independent research and working in collaboration with the Principal Investigator (David Trippett). It is hoped that an appointment will be made within each of the following broad subfields:
 * machines and mechanism;
 * forms of nature;
 * technologies for sound.


 * In conjunction with the research team, appointees will be expected to work within these broad subfields towards an individual monograph. Information concerning these research areas is given in the Further Particulars, as are full details of the activities in which the Research Fellows would be engaged and the expectations tied to the role. Appointees will have access to research funds, and may, if desired, have the opportunity to offer supervisions or contribute to courses in the Faculty of Music.
 * Appointees will be experienced in writing articles, reports, and/or other material suitable for scholarly publication, and in giving papers at academic seminars and conferences. They will be able to manage and organize a wide range of activities and to exercise judgment regarding time-management and the prioritizing and organizing of workload. They will be highly attentive to detail but also capable of grasping and resolving sophisticated conceptual problems relevant to this project. They will be able to work independently to tight deadlines and will be able to communicate effectively with a wide range of individuals, including the project team.
 * Successful applicants will have completed a Ph.D. in musicology (or related field) or in the History and Philosophy of Science. Applications should include a letter of application and Curriculum Vitae that includes a list of research publications and the names of at least two referees.
 * Further information about the Faculty is available at: www.mus.cam.ac.uk. These are full-time positions based in the Faculty of Music in central Cambridge.

The appointment will be made at the rank of Assistant Professor.

The School of Music is recognized for its present strengths in Jazz and “experimental music” composition and performance, as well as in musicological (History, Theory, Ethnomusicology) research in American music; it is anticipated that the new American Music Studies programs will enhance and expand these strengths in many significant and innovative ways. The ideal candidate will be conversant with many styles and genres of American music in both their historical and their contemporary manifestations, and will be able to demonstrate expertise and achievement in at least one of these areas. Applicants should have a doctoral degree (or foreign equivalent) and/or analogous significant professional experience by the start of the appointment.

 * 1/3 Skype interviews have been conducted.
 * 1/14 Campus visits are being scheduled
 * 3/22 Was the position really not filled a second time?
 * 3/26 Yes, it was not. Thank you for not continuing to repost the comment as deleted by the original poster.
 * I'm sorry, but because this information is clearly of interest and value to many people on this wiki (as evidenced by the series of edits), and because it is available elsewhere (see the Theory/Composition wiki, for instance), I'm going to put it back. If someone has a reason why the information should not be here (i.e., you know the information to be false), please feel free to say so. Otherwise, there seems to be plenty of interest in leaving it here. "A candidate was selected by the Search Committee, but more than 50% of Tenured Faculty voted against the hire, resulting in the position being lost."

GENERAL DISCUSSION

 * Are you on the academic job market? Researchers at Washington State University would like to hear about your experiences! The study involves completing confidential online questionnaires before and after each on-campus interview to which you are invited. Participants will be compensated. To learn more, contact Dr. Kristen Jones (wsujobmarketstudy@gmail.com) or visit our study webpage (http://research.vancouver.wsu.edu/organizational-diversity-and-inclusion-lab/academic-interview-study).


 * 10/16 Just a note of interest, a year ago (Oct 16, 2014), there were 47 jobs posted. This year there are 67 so far.
 * I'm sorry, respectfully, counting posts like "fall semester adjunct" and "adjunct lecturer pool" as "jobs" is misleading.
 * But the VAST majority of the jobs this year are for musicologists, not ethnomusicologists. The market for ethnomusicologists this year is worse than it's been in years.
 * 11/13: Question - what resources do you all use to hunt for job postings? I check the wiki with some frequency, as well as the Chronicle of Higher Ed and AMS-L; occasionally postings appear here that do not come up on Vitae and AMS-L.
 * Answer: I use Vitae and use/have used these others: CMS's Music Vacancy List, though it's paid (http://www.music.org); Media Match (http://www.media-match.com/usa/music/); Academic Keys (http://www.academickeys.com); Simply Hired (http://www.simplyhired.com); Higher Ed Jobs (https://www.higheredjobs.com); Indeed (http://www.indeed.com); There is some overlap between them, but very often, the jobs are unique to each service. It pays to scour each closely.
 * In addition to the above I also check Higher Education Recruitment Consortium, www.hercjobs.org; Inside Higher Ed Careers, careers.insidehighered.com, and http://www.jobs.ac.uk for UK jobs. Unfortunately there is no one place where they all show up (although I am trying to make the wiki fill that role!).
 * I have noticed your diligence; it is greatly appreciated. Thanks for the suggestions!
 * 100 jobs as of November 19; last year the wiki didn't reach 100 jobs until February 11.
 * But again, hardly any in ethnomusicology. Many schools seem to want a historian who can also do world music and/or pop music. (As if these are side gigs that don't require actual experts to teach them.)
 * The reality is that many (most?) departments do not have the financial nor practical luxuries of hiring someone who can only do/teach one thing. Whenever my undergraduate students express to me that they're interested in pursuing musicology/ethno grad degrees, one of the first things things I tell them is that they need to be putting eggs in several different baskets, and quickly. This means not just embracing different (ethno)musicological subject areas, but also diffrerent disciplinary areas - piano, vocal, ensemble directing, theory, etc. That way they have both attractive, diversified skills and viable contingency options. This really hits home when you yourself are on a search committee and see both who applies and who gets picked.
 * Maybe I have this wrong, but I don't think that the complaint about there being so few ethno jobs was also a complaint about jobs requiring multiple specialties. (We've pretty much all had to accept that we need to be versatile.) It seems that all those job listings that are requiring people with multiple skill sets are framing the job title firstly as "musicology" and not "ethnomusicology." There's a very big difference, for instance, in a job ad that wants a musicologist specialising post-1750 who can also teach world music, compared with a job for an ethnomusicologist specializing in Africa who can also teach post-1750 Western music history. There are plenty of ethnomusicologists who are able to teach in the historical musicology sequences, too, but we only ever seem to see jobs for historical musicologists who can also teach the ethno courses.
 * I'm sorry. I took the following statement wrong: "Many schools seem to want a historian who can also do world music and/or pop music. (As if these are side gigs that don't require actual experts to teach them.)" My bad.
 * I'm adding this again because (ironically) my previous attempt to respond was apparently deleted or overwritten: I'd take that statement for exactly what it suggests: that the job listings imply that there's no expertise needed to teach world music or pop music. Which the ads do imply by almost always making historical musicology the core field (for which expertise is assumed) and ethno/pop as the "additional" areas of teaching. Yes, there are cases where a department really does need a historical musicologist—but if the issue is really about covering courses, it's faulty to assume that a historical musicologist can do any better with the ethno courses than an ethnomusicologist can do with the historical courses.


 * ​I really don't take the ads that way at all, though. Like I suggest below, I think most places are looking to get the most value in their hire. When they can hire only one full-time person to teach an array of courses, they're going to look for the person whose credentials most overlap with their curricular and other needs. And most of the time, Western/historical subjects dominate those needs in American music departments. To suppose that these departments are somehow claiming that ethno or any other courses require less expertise, simply because these areas are secondary practical concerns for them, is going too far I think.
 * You can think whatever you want. But for many of us who consider ourselves ethnomusiciologists, we feel our expertise and labor are being devalued by departments that are shifting those teaching responsibilities to people with other areas of expertise (i.e., historical musicology). In one sense this is obviously a problem of a contraction (or at least a big shift) in the sorts of academic jobs that are available at all. But it sucks for ethnos that within that context, music departments seem to be running back to that old assumption that everything that they actually need can be done by historical musicologists, and that having an ethnomusicologist is a luxury that they can't really afford.
 * To the extent that this is true, it is just one degree in a larger pattern. Some departments think that having an historical musicologist is a luxury they can't afford, and they assign history and appreciation courses to piano teachers or choral conductors etc. who once minored in musicology or had some other experience with it (or maybe even no significant experience at all). I myself was once in this position as an historical musicology adjunct who was let go. It was difficult at the time, but my department had little choice during the economic downturn, when funds and enrollment were low. It was not 100% ideal for them by any means, but they did the best they could within very real limitations. And that's all that most of these departments are probably trying to do. They prioitize in their hires, and not necessarily by choice/principle. I'm sure just about any department chair would think it great to have BOTH ethno and historical experts affordably on hand to teach their respective areas, but this is just not feasible in many places. While we think about ourselves and our disciplines, and rightly so, they have to think about their students, their curriculums, their budgets, and the hard decisions before them. We shouldn't assume the worst of them, simply because what we do may not be on the top (nor even in the middle) of their priority lists. (By the way, many departments hire oboe teachers to teach both oboe and bassoon, or "low brass" professors to teach trombone/euphonium/tuba but who specialize in only one of them, or clarinet players to teach both clarinet and saxophone. The list goes on a long way. We're hardly the only ones to deal with this, and I think we need to recognize that the vast majority of department committees and chairs know that this is all far from optimal and would change it if they could.)
 * With all due respect, are we simply supposed to accept that there's nothing that can be done about a situation we recognize is not optimal? If you're in such a position—department chair, search committee chair, etc.—you have an opportunity, however local and small-scale, to attempt to shape your search or department in a more optimal way. You might fail in your effort, of course, because you are not the only force at work. But if we all just accept that this is the way things are and will always be—that there factually is just a more fundamental need for historical musicologists than others—then I'm really not sure why we're here at all. This seems to me worse than shuffling chairs on the Titanic; it's deciding (or at least affirming a decision about) who drowns and who lives.
 * New person here (12-31-15) pointing out that music departments may have skewed ideas about what is optimal. Studio choices usually outweigh academic, despite the fact that most of us work in UNIversities and not conservatories. There are many places out there in which hiring a studio person with the 'right' instrument but only a master's degree outweighs hiring a musicologist or ethnomusicologist with a Ph.D. Last year my dept cut academic positions and an academic graduate program with 22 students, replacing the cut professors with adjuncts who could cover more studio options. Note that that university does not even have a performance program, but does have some significant attrition problems. I exited and found myself teaching at a wonderful private liberal arts university and, for the first time ever, not in a music department. I only know a small handful of ethno/musicologists who are employed outside of music, and my experience echoes what I have heard from them; everyplace else is better than a music department! More collegial, more academic in focus, more interested in education than recruiting ill-suited students, and no gossip whatsoever. I digress, but we will continue to reshuffle the deckchairs on the Titanic as long as we are on that particular ship. If music departments want to survive the coming changes in higher education they need to make some significant changes. (x1)
 * Yes, to all of what this person said. At least, it definitely applies to where I teach, where the performance faculty mostly control department decisions. They're the ones who believe that an ethnomusicologist couldn't teach music history or music theory, but someone how that the clarinet professor is perfectly qualified to teach "world music," that graduate students in band conducting can teach a western music history class with no problems, and that the flute professor is capable of teaching a graduate course in twentieth-century music history. I repeatedly tell members of the department that we need an ethnomusicologist, and I find myself allied with the music theorist, who even though we approach the study of music really differently, also argues for high academic standards and appropriate qualifications re: instructors in terms of academic classes. The bias that one reads in job ads re: popular music and ethnomusicology rarely come from musicologists or theorists, but rather from the surprisingly large gulf that can separate academic faculty and performance faculty within a music department.
 * I should have used the word "optimal" more carefully, because it is highly relative and context-dependent. In the largest sense, it would be "optimal" if everyone who sought the jobs they want got them. That's never going to happen in the real world of constraints, risks, and disappointments. As I said, most search committees and chairs would find it "optimal" to be able to hire specialists to teach all of the areas their curriculums cover...or even enlarge their curriculums to include more areas of speciality that could be covered by corresponding "experts" (however you want to define this term). But what about when one discipline's interests (assuming for the moment that they're monolithic) conflict with another's, or when an optimal situation on the one hand is not optimal situation on the other...and you are one of those tasked with making a hard choice? You'll run across these things in committee work constantly. Should the bassoonist ask why she "is even here at all" when a search committee settles upon an oboist to teach the double-reed students? Or when a bassonist gets hired to help an oboist teach double-reed students, and another oboist applying for the position gets turned down? It's a mistake to suggest that because what we do/offer is not necessarily always the most essential thing, there's no point in doing it. We're all here because we see value in what we do, and others do as well (or there would be NO jobs). Hopefully, we also carefully weighed the risks of enrolling in (ethno)musicology grad programs and seeking employment in our fields. (I wouldn't compare embarking upon this kind of career to being aboard the Titanic, neither. Despite what transpired, booking passage on the Titanic was a much safer bet.) I'm no department nor division chair - I'm just another faculty member who has been through the job-search process and has now seen some things from the other side.
 * But it makes sense that there are more positions for historians who can also teach ethno courses. More departments offer more historical- rather than ethno-oriented courses and curriculums. Hiring an ethnomusicologist who can also teach history courses is not as practical for departments that need a person to teach their Western music history sequence, Western-oriented music appreciation courses, Western music literature courses, Western period-specific courses, and maybe one or two ethno or world music courses. This hire might be teaching a 1-1 at most in his/her main area of expertise, which is not cost-effective. It makes much more sense for many departments to hire a historian specializing in the same musical traditions commonly practiced by the majority of their applied studios and ensembles (and reflected most in their core curriculums), and who can also teach ethno courses. I'm not saying that things should or shouldn't be this way, I'm just recognizing what is.
 * I won't deny that there is a serious deny double-standard involved. Hiring committees tend to assume that somebody who specializes in the Western art music tradition can, of course, teach popular music, film music, jazz, ethno, etc. courses. But there's always a doubt as to whether the specialists in those other areas can teach the Western art music tradition well enough. I'm a specialist in one of those areas myself and, a few years ago when the institution I was at was doing a theory search, I was troubled to find myself asking whether a particular pop music specialist who got an on-campus interview could effectively teach the elementary theory courses, counterpoint, and so on. It's not fair, but I think it's a result of how the curricula and positions are defined. As far as the ethno postings specifically? SEM has half as many members as AMS; every school that I've been involved with as a student or faculty member has had a majority of the musicology faculty lines defined in terms of the undergraduate music history sequence, which at best has accounted for 1 of 4 semesters (and usually less than that). If you want to pursue an academic career in ethno, I think you have recognize the reality of how institutions and curricula are currently organized. In addition, changes in the wording of the NASM Handbook over the past ten years have softened the emphasis on world music as a mandatory part of the curriculum, which will not help the cause of ethnomusicologists. There will always (at least as far as I can predict) be more historical-focused jobs than ethno-focused jobs. (One year out of the past nine being a surprising exception.) But as somebody mentioned above, for ethnomusicologists, even more than historical musicologists, the name of the game is versatility in teaching, research, and career options (because let's face it, there are a lot more museum jobs, to name one possibility, for ethnomusicologists than music historians).
 * I have been participating in the job market for longer than I'd care to admit, and this is far from a new problem. I'd even say that jobs for "popular music/world music" generally mean someone who researches English-language popular music styles but can also teach a world music survey (assuming that the rest of the world's popular music doesn't count). Clearly, this is a problem. But I'd say that many people smaller departments working in completely other fields don't really know what's going on in popular music studies and ethnomusicology and, worse, many PhD programs aren't properly preparing us for the huge range of skills that many cash-strapped departments are now seeking (even top departments at major research univeristies are reducing in size). There's a double standard out there that assumes ethnomusicologists and pop music specialists can't teach within the core requirements of music history and theory UNLESS said scholars show that they can. I had a visiting post at an extremely small department, and I managed to pursuade them to let me teach music history courses well outside my area of expertise. This led to further work the following year at neighboring institutions on a range of music topics. It can be done.
 * Hi - I'm butting in here (I've not posed anything on this thread yet) since I saw someone bring up NASM. The handbook pretty much says that music majors need to have World Music - so that usually means one class - the wording on "regular" music history combined with state licensing exams for music ed majors implies multiple courses. So one reason you see fewer ethno jobs is because there is an inherit/implied ratio in the requirements of states and accrediting bodies. The same is at least, if not more, true for non-musicological graduate students (mus ed., performance). I think there is a second issue you might be ignoring: demographics. For a solid decade or two in the late 90s and 00s there were, at least percentage-wise, more ethno jobs relative to "regular" history jobs. Or at least that was my impression living through it. So I think there was a bubble of sorts, where departments who could afford more than one musicologist opted for the second as ethno because of the NASM and state changes in emphasis (they saw the need for an ethno person b/c of the "trend" and new requirements). Now those institutions have their ethno line already, and so the new lines for ethno aren't being created at the same pace. At the same time there was a boom in the number of ethno grads, many of whom are not even near retirement yet - they were a first generation of sorts, so won't retire until, say, the 2020s or later. So there is a natural levelling of the market going on here. Basically the ethno job market has been developed and reached maturity. Just my humble opinion, and I've got no reason to be biased since I'm not on the market for anything nowadays other than writing NASM accreditation documents!
 * I would like to make a suggestion about the formatting/sections of the wiki. I personally find the results counter to be enormously depressing - for exactly the reasons you are imagining. I also have difficulty understanding how the information there is helpful to anyone. For one thing, I can't understand how anyone would need to know how anonymous people are doing in their job searches. But in addition to that, so few people update it that the information must be hopelessly innacurate. Other job wikis, such as English Literature and Art History, don't have the corresponding section. In fact, I've never seen a results section anywhere else. Might we consider, as a group, deleting it?
 * Hi, I'm one of the wiki admins and can lend some perspective. The Results Counter is relatively new, wiki-wise, and I think someone opted to add it a few years well after the Wiki Counter appeared. In general, adding sections or categories to the wiki has rarely been controversial - they are in effect passive decisions and you'd have to look through previous wikis to find when Results Counter first appeared. (Deletion is far more controversial, IMO.) To be generous, I think it's there to give the rest of us a snapshot of whether or not a handful of people are getting the lion's share of the bites / interviews. It's better to have numbers here than to simply rely on rumors. Further, since our academic societies had not been collecting these data in a systematic way, this was all that we had. But as you point out, there's a fundamental problem that biases for those who participate in the wiki, and we can't even tell if it's a representative sample. If the majority of active job seekers are barely using the wiki and no one is filling it out, it isn't doing much good. Personally, I'd rather not have it here and I'm sure that it doesn't need to be there in the future. The negative feelings about this wiki are valid. This is the time of year when the wiki becomes a depressing and draining place; everyone who is on the market starts to see the fruits of their labor, and the odds are not in our favor, so to speak. For the sanity of everyone on the job market, I'd vote in favor of removing it.
 * Just to register my opinion: I'm in favor of keeping the results counter. I recognize the difficulties (both statistically and emotionally) of having that on here. However, since this information is not available in any other form that I know of, I think that some data is better than none.
 * I'm the other admin this year. I don't have a strong opinion either way but if the consensus is that we are better off without it, I would prefer to leave it for this year and then remove it when next year's wiki is started. Thankfully, more people are editing the wiki this year than the numbers on the counter would suggest, but that does mean that the data from the counter is unrepresentative and nearly useless, at least for the current year. --5120j
 * I don't have an opinion one way or the other about keeping/deleting the section, but I do wonder if it might be less depressing if those of us without good news also used it. It's the end of January and I have nothing positive to report. That's discouraging, of course, and that empty "I have not had any bites" section doesn't make me feel any less panicky. Anyone want to join me in a chorus of haven't had a bite?
 * I'm in favor of getting rid of it. What do we really gain by knowing if an individual is getting a lot of bites? Assurance that luck is real? The most useful item, as I see it, is the question about ABD applicants in TT faculty searches. Cross-year comparisons might give us an idea of how backlogged the market is. But either way, we shouldn't delude ourselves into thinking there is a magic bullet or formula. (I do, however, appreciate the move toward solidarity made by the poster above. There is absolutely no shame in rejection, though it certainly can be deflating.)
 * I also think we should leave it off of next year's wiki. Less is more. More clarity, less c(h)attiness.
 * 2/16 Might we also get rid of the section at the top that lists who got what job and where they got their PhD and their most recent position? No other discipline's wiki does this as it's unnecessary. My sense is that on our wiki it is more about pride and less about the circulation of helpful info. (Remember that "drumroll please" a year or few ago? #puerile) If one is really curious about who took a job, one will know sooner than later and/or could easily find out. Several disciplines' wikis note each search's status (additional materials, preliminary interviews, campus interviews, offer made, offer accepted) in the job's heading text. Many wikis do not bother including all of the job information (which one should always find in an official posting arrived at by clicking on the hyperlink): the wiki provides information only about a search's progress and there is no chance of someone incorrectly copying information from a job posting. Notes, when absolutely necessary and helpful to others, could of course be added. Admin could be responsible for cleaning up unnecessary text. Such a format creates a page that is easier to read. It also eliminates the need to scroll for an hour before getting to information about, for example, University of [X], Vanderbilt, Yale, Xavier, or Zane State. [There is no ctrl+F on my mobile device.] This would also create less space for bad affect and unnecessary venting. I would prefer a wiki that is more like an information kiosk and less like a stage.
 * 2/16 (2) - I'd say keep the doctoral institution listed with who got the job. It is a useful tool for students out there trying to figure out which program is placing graduates in jobs. AMS doesn't really keep good tabs on it, and while the wiki isn't necessarily comprehensive, it is the best we have for seeing which Ph.D. programs are putting people in jobs.
 * 2/16 (3) I agree wholeheartedly with this sentiment. Even with its difficulties (in terms of scope, number of users, etc.), I think that there is real value in having this information on the wiki, since it is not available elsewhere. Current and future job applicants surely benefit from having some impression (rather than none) about trends in the job market.
 * 2/17 I second this. I come from a "big name" institution that has abysmally poor completion and placement rates, and this fact is NOT widely known in the (ethno-)musicological community. Obviously, the department would rather it not be publicly available. If I'd had access to a resource like this when I was filling out grad school applications, I might well have thought differently about what schools to target and which one to choose for my doctorate. Also, to anyone who's "had no bites" - I've had lots of bites, but no offers, and the end result is I still have two children and no job or health insurance for next year. I totally get where you're coming from, but in some ways, I think it would have been better had I had no interest in my applications to begin with, as then I'd have had more time to devote to applying for Medicaid and launching my fabulous new career as a Target team member, medical biller or coder, or TV/VCR repairperson. In any event, knowledge is power and more information is better than less.
 * 2/18 This is 5120j, one of the two admins this year. Here are some disjointed thoughts, some of which are in response to the recent posts (above) and some of which I have been wanting to state out in the open but haven't gotten around to it.
 * 1. I think the listing of names and doctoral institutions is one of the most valuable parts of the wiki, for all of the reasons stated above. Unless there is a very strong consensus to remove it, I will be keeping this long-standing tradition (the names/doctoral institutions of successful hires have been posted on the Ethno/musicology wiki as long as it's been in existence, I believe). Names of job candidates are another thing (even if they're available on a public site) and those I will delete. I wish that someone would take the time to "crunch the numbers" like the Amusicology blog used to do, but I haven't had the time to do this myself.
 * The ideal situation is that the winning candidate will post his/her own name, but if several months have passed and the name is findable on the department website (within a reasonable degree of accuracy), I will post it. I have to say I enjoy the detective work.
 * 2. I have noticed the unwieldy-ness of the wiki on mobile and for next season's page, will try to make it a bit more mobile-friendly. There are some tips on how to do this in the admin sections of Wikia, and I haven't dug into them deeply yet, but your concerns are noted and will be addressed.
 * I am also planning to delete the "results counter" for next year since it seems like the consensus is that it's at best, useless, and at worst, demoralizing.
 * 3. I like posting almost the entire text of the job ad so that if any changes are made later, they can be noticed. 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 jobs 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.
 * 4. This year, my rule of thumb for posting jobs has been: "COULD an ethno/musicologist fill this post?" Not the more narrow question "WILL an ethno/musicologist fill this post?" So, this means I have been posting 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.) If I got rid of all the more general jobs, that would also shorten the wiki, but people have been putting updates on those posts, so there seems there is interest.
 * The other ones I put up this year but wasn't sure if they were of general interest were the German-language-only job ads. If there aren't updates on those (meaning that the people applying for them aren't reading this wiki), I won't put up jobs not advertised in English next year. I will continue to post jobs at non-US/UK schools that are advertised in English and/or posted to AMS-L. I don't have a current membership to CMS/MVL or SEM so if jobs are posted only in those locations, I don'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.
 * 5. 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 so I am fairly neutral, but I have a professional interest in the ethno/musicology job market so I will probably moderate for at least one more year. Thank you for reading this and thanks to all for keeping the wiki very drama-free this year!


 * (2/18) Thanks for your hard work, 5120j!
 * 2/28 As someone who is not on the market this year and is instead on a search committee (but who scanned this wiki obsessively for the five previous years), I really appreciate having the results of the searches listed at the very top of the page. I think this is a helpful way for observers and search committee members to check in. There are way more observers checking this page than you might imagine; keeping the results at the top makes it much more easily accessible than, say, the Theory/Comp wiki. Good luck and best wishes to all of you. The job market is an incredibly harrowing rite of passage (and unfortunately non-passage, sometimes), so remember that your value as a person has nothing to do with how many bites you get. <3
 * 2/28 (2) - Hi all, this is Hybridist, the other admin for this Wiki. For the record: I have a tenure-track post in a music department and I am also no longer on the market for at least the next bunch of years (these two aren't always mutually exclusive). Of all the years I've been an admin here, this has been by far the easiest. Thank you! Like 5120j, I prefer posting more info when possible and I view my main admin task as keeping the wiki a clean, usable resource. We go through and tidy up formatting and restoring accidentally deleted posts and the like. Given that role, I believe that data related who got what job, the doctoral granting institution, and even where they have been previously employed are all crucially important since the AMS refuses to keep an official record (and, if memory serves, some committees actually rely on this wiki to make arguments for certain outreach efforts). I am not sure what SEM is doing on this front. So until the AMS leadership takes this on this task, we have to volunteer it (or rely on our friends to post it for us...)
