 * Saint John's University, a liberal arts college for men, and the College of Saint Benedict, a liberal arts college for women, are located four miles apart in Central Minnesota just outside St. Cloud and 70 miles from Minneapolis.

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)

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.

University of California, Riverside: Assistant/Associate/Full Professor of Global Arts (4 positions) (Deadline: 21 December 2015)

 * The University of California at Riverside (UCR) is embarking on a major new hiring initiative that will add 300 tenure-track positions in 33 cross- disciplinary areas selected through a peer-reviewed competition. Over the next three years, we will hire multiple faculty members in each area and invest in research infrastructure to support their work. This initiative will build critical mass in vital and emerging fields of scholarship and the arts, foster truly cross-disciplinary work and further diversify the faculty at one of America’s most diverse research universities. We encourage applications from scholars and artists committed to excellence and seeking to help redefine the research university for the next generation. For more information regarding UCR's hiring initiative please go to: http://clusterhiring.ucr.edu.
 * The faculty recruited in Global Arts will join a vibrant community of scholars and artists whose work is global in both the sense of its international reach and its cross-disciplinary scope. We are conducting an open rank recruitment for four positions (two junior, two senior) seeking individuals who exhibit a range of geographical and cultural diversity, and who all are actively using or doing art—engaging directly with creative artistic practices--either themselves or in active partnership with artists. Preference will be given to candidates with significant international experience and whose work extends UCR’s existing globally oriented arts and research programs. Successful candidates will join departments corresponding to their areas of expertise, teach in Global Studies and contribute to other interdisciplinary programs. Required qualifications are a terminal degree in the area of specialization or related field (e.g. Ph.D., MFA, DMA) or a prior university appointment or other evidence of international recognition for creative achievements appropriate to an academic environment.
 * We invite applicants in the following four areas. We seek to make two junior (tenure-track) and two senior (tenured) appointments.
 * 1. Global Writing and Public Memory: We seek a writer or scholar of international reputation who explores transnational topics (e.g. cities and their interactions, genocide, human rights, humanitarianism and protest politics) and treats such subjects as a form of global public memory. The ideal candidate will not be limited by genre, geography, or language, and will be comfortable developing, with fellow artists and social scientists, collaborative projects that address memory for diverse publics.
 * 2. Global Sound Composition: We seek a sound composer of international reputation whose work explores the diversity of artistic forms emerging in the medium of sound, going beyond the boundary of music and reflecting on the differentiation processes of sound in a global society. Areas of expertise may include creative work in sound art, design, synthesis, installation, radio art, electronic or digital sound composition or soundscape; research on topics such as the role of sound in digital culture, the development of sound in relation to information and communication technology, or the interdisciplinary relations connecting sound to image, body, visual and media art are also desirable.
 * 3. Global Aesthetics and Art Practice: We seek a scholar of the philosophy of art whose work takes a global perspective. The appointee should have significant expertise in aesthetics and one or more area of artistic practice, and be able to contribute to “practice-informed theory.” Serious engagement with debates about globalization and the arts and the effects of global dynamics on theorizing about the arts, and the ability to work creatively across disciplinary boundaries is essential. A familiarity with both analytic and continental approaches to aesthetics is highly desirable.
 * 4. Performance Maker: We seek a performance maker who can galvanize practices of and exchanges about performance and performativity across disciplinary lines. This performer should have substantial international experience, adding to the transnational scope and diversity of UCR’s programs across and beyond the performing arts. The ideal candidate will have the ability to work in more than one language, with an interest in and facility with integrating media and new technologies within performance, and experience working with artists from various countries across geographic boundaries. Engagement with intercultural issues in performance is highly desirable.

They should submit a CV, cover letter that includes a research statement, evidence of teaching and a sample of work.

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.
