Baruch College (CUNY): Assistant Professor - Music

 * Deadline: 22 January 2020  DEADLINE EXTENDED: 31 January 2020
 * FACULTY VACANCY ANNOUNCEMENT: The music program at Baruch College, CUNY, seeks a promising scholar with a strong commitment to teaching, currently completing or having recently attained the Ph.D. in musicology, for a tenure-track position beginning Fall 2020. All degree requirements must be met by the beginning of the 2020-2021 academic year. The rank is at the Assistant Professor level.
 * The faculty member will teach a variety of courses in music history and literature to a diverse student body including music majors and music minors.

 * QUALIFICATIONS: Ph.D. degree in area(s) of experience or equivalent. Also required are the ability to teach successfully, demonstrated scholarship or achievement, and ability to cooperate with others for the good of the institution.
 * HOW TO APPLY: Visit www.cuny.edu, access the employment page, log in or create a new user account, and search for this vacancy using the Job ID or Title. Select "Apply Now" and provide the requested information. Candidates should provide a CV/resume.
 * CLOSING DATE: January 31, 2020 - Deadline Extended


 * 12/28 - It seems the only thing they are asking for is a CV. Just checking in to make sure I'm not missing something obvious here.
 * 12/29 - I see the same thing. I navigated through the application interface. There's a place to submit a C.V. and then (on an additional page) a place to submit supplementary documents, although at no point on any of these pages does it say what those documents should be (if required at all). Perhaps they're assuming people would submit a cover letter as a supplementary document?
 * 1/13 - I suppose I will just submit a C.V., since that's all the application asks for. Please chime in if you can advise otherwise, either from experience or as a result of connections to the search.
 * 1/19 I'm not applying for this job but if I were, I'd submit a cover letter in the "supplementary documents" field, since I've never seen an application that didn't ask for one before—it can't hurt to do so, anyway.
 * 1/28 I emailed them and the chair confirmed that they are only asking for a CV at this stage.
 * 2/2 - Request for cover letter and reference letters (x4)
 * 2/3 - This is so strange.
 * 2/3 - I second the strangeness. How many others have received this request? Anyone who submitted a cover letter with initial application also get request for more info?
 * 2/3 - I submitted a cover letter just in case for the first round, and received and email today requesting cover and rec letters.
 * 2/3 It honestly makes sense to me and feels like a refreshing alternative to the typical process. I'd imagine they wanted to look at CVs first to determine a long list of sorts. And then they're gathering cover letters and reference letters for those on this list (who haven't already submitted them). And then they'll go from there. I know a cover letter is typically the bare minimum and a CV cannot tell all as a document, but the minimalism feels welcome, given the way many others lean in the opposite direction.
 * 2/3 I applied to a job at Baruch a few years ago and same process. As someone who has served on search committees at my own institution, I appreciate the expediency. First we look at the cvs and if we like them, go on to the cover letters, then other materials. This way, applicants aren't wasting their time crafting a careful cover letter if they aren't going to make the first cut.

 * Please note: Visa sponsorship is not provided for this position.
 * 11/6 Request for writing sample (x6)
 * 11/18 Request for full list of references
 * 11/18 (2) can you be more specific? what is a "full list"? Wondering if I should cross this off my list. Thanks.
 * 11/19 I cannot; the request for references was not accompanied by further information. My guess is that something went wrong with the list I submitted initially. Keep this job on your list for now.
 * 11/20 References have been contacted (x4)
 * 11/22 Request for phone interview (x3)
 * 11/26 do people know if all your refs were contacted? 2/3 of mine were.
 * 11/26 No. One mentioned it in passing, but generally my referees don't notify me when they've been contacted.
 * 11/30 At least 2/3 of mine were.
 * 12/9: I'm a bit concerned about this because two of my references contacted me to say they had been called and reported positive interactions, but I did not get an invite for a phone interview. I'm wondering if I need to take someone off of my references list.
 * 12/9 (2) Same thing with me. 2/3 contacted, no interview. Thought one recommender might have torpedoed me, but it's probably just the numbers game.
 * 12/6 Request for campus visit

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?
 * 9/6 UCLA committee chair: "in the early stages of their career" refers to academic career only. It is about the rank at which we can hire. Any other implication (about age, job history outside academia) can be set aside.
 * 11/4 It seems as though this language, intentionally or not, would have the effect of discouraging applicants who have held non-tenure-track (or nonacademic, post-PhD) appointments for a significant length of time; if it were merely about rank, the "early stage" comment would be redundant since the job description already indicates the rank with the terms "tenure track" and "Assistant Professor."  Similarly, the reference to a "researcher of great promise" seems not to account for the possibility of candidates of some accomplishment (rather than "promise") who are some years beyond completing their terminal degree.  It's no secret that the longer one works off the tenure track, the harder it is to be hired to a tenure-track position.

 * The successful candidate will be expected to teach a full range of undergraduate and graduate courses, to maintain an active research program, and to engage in a broad range of institutional and professional service.
 * The ideal candidate will hold a Ph.D. in Musicology (ABD may be considered) with primary expertise in Western art music and will have demonstrated success in teaching at the postsecondary level, as well as a record of peer-reviewed scholarly work. The candidate's area of specialization within musicology should complement the research interests of the current faculty.
 * Salary will be commensurate with experience and qualifications.
 * Please send a cover letter, CV, a statement of teaching philosophy, a statement of research interests/plans, two samples of scholarly writing, and arrange for three (3) confidential letters of reference under separate cover to:
 * Dr. Edward Jurkowski, Dean
 * Chair, Musicology Search Committee Desautels Faculty of Music
 * University of Manitoba
 * 150 Dafoe Road
 * Winnipeg, Manitoba R3T 2N2
 * Email: sarah.rout@umanitoba.ca
 * Position Number: 28274
 * Review of applications will begin on November 1, 2019 and continue until the position is filled.
 * The Desautels Faculty of Music enrols approximately 240 students in a wide variety of undergraduate and graduate programs in a collegial, supportive environment. It includes over 30 full-time faculty, as well as more than 20 sessional instructors drawn from Winnipeg's thriving professional music community. The Desautels Faculty of Music is housed in the Tache Arts Complex, a state-of-the-art facility, opened in 2015, that includes teaching and performance spaces in the heart of the university's campus. Western Canada's first university, the University of Manitoba is the only member of the U15 Group of Canadian Research Universities in the province. It is home to approximately 30,000 students, 5,000 academic staff, and 3,900 support staff. The university offers a comprehensive range of undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs. Winnipeg is the capital of Manitoba and its largest city, with a population of over 700,000 and a diversified economy. The city supports a diverse array of outstanding cultural and visual and performing arts institutions.
 * The University of Manitoba is strongly committed to equity and diversity within its community and especially welcomes applications from women, racialized persons, Indigenous Peoples, persons with disabilities, persons of all sexual orientations and genders, and others who may contribute to the further diversification of ideas. If you require accommodation supports during the recruitment process, please contact U of M's Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Facilitator, Valerie Williams at Valerie.williams@umanitoba.ca or 204-474-8371. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadian citizens and permanent residents will be given priority. Application materials, including letters of reference, will be handled in accordance with the protection of privacy provision of The Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy (Manitoba). Please note that curriculum vitae may be provided to participating members of the search process.
 * 9/27 Can anyone speak to Canadian boilerplate language, specifically to the wording of the point on publications? In my experience, when ABDs will be considered, usually there is an understanding that publications have to be assessed on the register of potential for future publications in addition to published pieces. And also in my experience, many US job ads tweak that language accordingly. Is there any sense of whether the same assessment would hold in Canada? Thanks!
 * 9/30 My experience has been that peer-reviewed scholarly work is a broad designation that might include conference papers and other scholarly work that would be appropriate for a candidate's career stage.  I can't imagine a SC looking at an ABD candidate (or an early career candidate) without considering the potential for the future.
 * 10/01: in general, it is never wise to exclude yourself from the applicant pool just because you are ABD and the boilerplate language doesn't specify whether ABD's will be considered.
 * 10/11 The online application page asks, "Can you legally work in Canada?" As a US citizen, my understanding is that I can work in Canada if offered a job. Any advice on whether to answer Yes or No on the application?
 * 10/11 This would likely be a question for the university's HR people or the contact person listed in tha job announcement. Anecdotally, it's been my experience that if one is not a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, it is necessary to obtain a valid work permit. Before extending a letter of offer, the institution would have applied for and received a favourable Labour Market Opinion from the government allowing the university to hire a non-Canadian. Once the offer has been accepted, the successful candidate should have no trouble getting the work permit. My understanding is that, until one has the work permit, one is not technically able to work in Canada, legally. I don't think this should discourage anyone from applying, though. Many Canadian universities hire non-Canadians, although I'm told that favourable LMOs Have become more difficult to obtain since changes made during the final years of the Harper government.

University of Michigan: Assistant Professor of Musicology

 * Deadline: 15 November 2019
 * Open Date: Oct 14, 2019
 * Duties: Teach musicology courses at the undergraduate, masters, and doctoral levels with an emphasis on twentieth- and twenty-first-century art music; pursue a significant program of scholarly research and musicological publication, with interdisciplinary research according to the applicant's expertise, which may include international concert repertoires; teach additional courses in the musicology program; advise musicology students; other departmental needs as required. The appointee will be expected to: maintain a national and international profile as a scholar of music; demonstrate a strong commitment to excellent, innovative teaching at both graduate and undergraduate levels; expand the areas of interest represented in our department; and have the potential to work well with the variety of students in our diverse undergraduate and graduate programs within a large School of Music, Theatre, and Dance. The appointee will also be expected to serve on departmental, faculty, and University committees, and participate in faculty governance as appropriate.
 * RANK: Assistant Professor, tenure-track
 * Required Qualifications: Ph.D. in musicology in hand; evidence of scholarly promise; demonstrated potential as an innovative classroom teacher; commitment to nurturing a broad range of students of diverse identities and experiences, as demonstrated through pedagogy, service, and other activities
 * Preferred: Specialization in any aspects of twentieth- and twenty-first-century art music. Applicants engaged in developing musicological approaches to identity, gender, sexuality, race, and disability are encouraged to apply.
 * Application Instructions: To Apply: Materials are only being accepted via Interfolio. Required documents to be uploaded are, letter of interest, curriculum vitae, evidence of professional and teaching activity, and at least three confidential letters of recommendation.

Samples of scholarly work and publications may be requested at a subsequent stage of this search.
 * Deadline: Review of materials will begin November 15. Materials will be accepted until position is filled.
 * 10/24 Another user already posted something to this effect that disappeared, but what does "evidence of professional and teaching activity" look like relative to the usual teaching, research, etc. statements?
 * 10/29 Here's the deleted comment/question: 10/18 Hivemind, any thoughts on the full extent and/or formal structure of "evidence of professional and teaching activity?" A pdf that bundles together writing samples and a teaching dossier, probably? Is this the sort of thing where everyone will submit a slightly different-looking set of documentation, and the committee has no particular preconceived notion of what the ideal document looks like before they see one that excites them?


 * 10/30 The aforementioned requirement is frustratingly vague -- my entire CV contains "evidence of professional and teaching activity." Clarification by a committee member would be greatly appreciation.
 * 11/8 For anyone applying to this job: I reached out to Michigan, and the person with whom I emailed said "evidence of professional and teaching activity" is not a separate document but simply the typical information contained in your CV.
 * 11/9 I too reached out, and my contact likewise confirmed that your CV should contain the stated evidence of professional and teaching activity. This is also implied by the fact that, on the IF page where one attaches documents, the CV attachment field says "C.V. should show evidence of professional and teaching activity."
 * 11/9 Many, many thanks to the two posters above.
 * 12/5: Request for additional materials
 * 01/15: Request for Skype Interview

The ideal candidate will embrace an interdisciplinary approach to music research that resonates with the interests of the current faculty of the Department of Musicology and the Frost School of Music.

 * Deadline: February 9, 2020 or until filled.
 * What to Submit: Letter of application, CV, and names and contact information of three references.
 * Applications: Please send all materials electronically to www.hr.miami.edu/careers. Questions about the search should be addressed to Melvin L. Butler, Chair, Musicology Search Committee, email: mlb267@miami.edu.
 * 1/22 Changes to the submission guidelines were made to the wiki posting that no longer match the ad on the HR site, but since the edits are from a Miami IP address, I'll let them stand, since presumably the ad will also be updated soon.
 * 1/23 The HR site still has the original information posted here. Just FYI.
 * 1/24 *Search Committee Update* --  Please know that we are aware of the discrepancy between the wiki post and the ad on our HR site. The wording of the wiki post is correct, and we will update the HR ad accordingly. Thank you for your patience as we work to resolve this issue.
 * 1/25 Thanks to the Search Committee for the updates here. I assume both the previous posters and the SC member above are alluding to the fact that there's no place to attach anything other than a CV?
 * 1/26 In response to poster above, the wiki lists a "career assessment" as one of the requirement application documents, while the HR site does not mention this document at this point.
 * 1/27 Since the Search Committee appears to be reading the wiki, would one of them elaborate on what is meant by a "career assessment"?
 * 1/27 *Search Committee Update*  The inconsistencies between the wiki and the HR site should be ironed out within the next day or two. Re: attachments--when you click on the link to attach a CV, it should also be possible to attach additional documents at that point. Thank you again for your patience.
 * 1/27 Hoping for one more point of clarification from the committee regarding references. This page asks for three letters of recommendation; the HR site asks for names and contact info only for the three references, and there is nowhere on the application to direct referees to upload letters.
 * 1/28 *Search Committee Update* - The HR site and this wiki page should now be consistent. At this stage, the search committee is requesting only the names and contact information for three references. A "career assessment" is not required. Applicants can upload all required documents (i.e., a letter of application, CV, and list of references) via the HR site. We apologize for the confusion caused by previous edits to the wiki.
 * 1/28 Kudos to the search committee for deciding NOT to require letters for the initial application, or a career assessment, whatever that is. (X2)
 * 1/28 Just tried to submit an application but the system only allows me to submit a c.v. and not a cover letter. Is there still a glitch?
 * Under the Resume/CV section, you are able to attach additional documents.

University of Michigan: Assistant Professor of Musicology/Ethnomusicology

 * Deadline: 15 November 2019
 * Open Date: Oct 14, 2019
 * Duties: Teach musicology courses at the undergraduate, masters, and doctoral levels, including introductory surveys for music majors and nonmajors; pursue a coherent program of scholarly research and musicological publication, with interdisciplinary research according to the applicant's expertise; advise students; and engage in university service as required. The appointee will be expected to develop a portfolio of significant scholarly publications; maintain a national and international profile as a scholar of music; demonstrate a strong commitment to excellent, innovative teaching; expand the areas of interest represented in our department; and have the potential to work well with the variety of students in our diverse undergraduate and graduate programs. The appointee will be expected to serve on departmental, faculty, and university committees, and participate in faculty governance as appropriate.
 * Rank: Assistant Professor, tenure-track
 * Qualifications: Ph.D. in ethnomusicology/musicology in hand; evidence of scholarly promise; demonstrated potential as an innovative classroom teacher; commitment to nurturing a broad range of students of diverse identities and experiences, as demonstrated through pedagogy, service, and other activities; research that focuses on African and African diasporic music, with additional interests in critical race studies, gender and sexuality, disability studies, and sound studies.
 * Application Instructions: To Apply: Materials are only being accepted via Interfolio. Required documents to be uploaded are, letter of interest, curriculum vitae, evidence of professional and teaching activity, and at least three confidential letters of recommendation. Please ensure you upload documents to the position for which you are applying and not to your personal Interfolio account. Samples of scholarly work and publications may be requested at a subsequent stage of this search.
 * Deadline: Review of materials will begin November 15. Materials will be accepted until position is filled.
 * 10/24 The recommendation upload on Interfolio asks for three confidential recommendations, but allows for only one document. This document, moreover, is "uploaded" by users rather than solicited as is usually the way with recommendations. Anyone facing this same issue?
 * 10/28: For those of us who are both musicologists/ethnomusicologists, does it make sense to submit two separate applications for UofM's two open positions? Or just submit one and assume that we'd be considered for both?
 * 11/3 I don't have specific inside knowledge here, but I do know these are two separate searches, with different search committees. UM has a department of musicology with both historical musicologists and ethnomusicologists, and I believe they are looking for one of each.
 * 10/29 I have no inside knowledge of UM's hiring practices, but I strongly suspect that at a large state research university, they will be unable to hire you for a position for which you did not apply.
 * 2/1 Any updates here? Seems like things are moving with the musicology search
 * Skype interviews conducted (1/13-15), notification of finalist status (1/25)

University of South Carolina: Assistant Professor of Musicology or Ethnomusicology

 * Deadline: 30 November 2019
 * The University of South Carolina School of Music is seeking applicants for an Assistant Professor of Musicology or Ethnomusicology. The successful candidate will build a regional, national, and international reputation of excellence through scholarship and publications; contribute to the diverse curricula for School of Music undergraduate and graduate students through teaching, including the existing Western music history sequence for undergraduate majors, and graduate seminars on specialized topics and/or contemporary issues in musicology/ethnomusicology; mentor and advise masters and doctoral students; and undertake service obligations as assigned.
 * Required Education and Experience: An earned doctorate in musicology or ethnomusicology by the employment start date, demonstrated potential for excellence in college-level teaching and demonstrated potential for significant contributions in the area of research.
 * Preferred Qualifications: The School of Music vision statement identifies five core values: the pursuit of Excellence; devotion to Student Success; the production of Music Leaders; preparation of the Musician-Educator; and the creation of Diversely Skilled Musicians. The school encourages applications from candidates who demonstrate interests and abilities that align with these values.
 * Desired Start Date: 08/16/2020
 * Job Open Date: 09/13/2019
 * Special Instructions to Applicant: Applicants should upload a letter of application, curriculum vitae, contact information for three letters of recommendation, and work samples which may include published articles or conference papers.
 * N.B. The USC HR site has no deadline or review date, but the Chronicle Vitae posting says "Review of applications will begin on November 30, 2019 and continue until the position is filled."
 * 11/28 Happy Thanksgiving, all. Any intel on the committee chair's name? Also, protocol/etiquette question: when it's one of these musicology or ethnomusicology positions, is it better to declare oneself one or the other in the first sentence of the letter, or to give the name of the position with both disciplines, just as printed in the ad? I've never known what to do here.
 * 12/5 I always just write what subdiscipline my PhD is in (or if you're ABD, what it will be in) so they know, but then make it clear in the letter that I do work that roughly falls into both categories. If it's a job like this one that says Musicology OR Ethnomusicology, I usually assume that either they're 1) going to end up asking you to teach both world music and music appreciation, or 2) that they had two lines and now only have one so two old jobs are just one new job, or 3) that the committee couldn't agree on what they wanted so they just said both and would see what they can got.
 * Skype interviews scheduled for this week (1/6)
 * Rejection email (1/13) (x3)
 * 1/16 Anyone else not hear anything one way or the other? (x4)
 * 1/26 Campus interviews scheduled

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.

GENERAL DISCUSSION
Musicology/Ethnomusicology 2019-20 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 arrangement for the reasons stated above.
 * 5120j response: I don't think there is one. At least not on wikia.org. There was a percussion jobs wiki for a couple years but it never seemed to catch on (only one person ever updated it). I do post jobs on this wiki that are for music history/appreciation/world music + something else (conducting, applied lessons, music theory). If the job requires a performance DMA plus the ability to teach in an additional area (unspecified), those I do not post on this wiki. Unfortunately I don't think there's a central place for jobs like that, though there certainly are a fair number of jobs at smaller colleges that want someone who can teach applied lessons (preferably on multiple instruments), conduct an ensemble (or two) and also teach academic classes. Your best bet is probably to set up some targeted searches on Indeed.com or similar.
 * 8/9 The College Music Society's Music Vacancy List is a good place to see those types of jobs (subscription needed).


 * 9/5 I recommend you look at some of the Wikia help pages. If you are editing in the source editor, all characters (asterisks, brackets, equals signs) must be added by you, nothing is inserted automatically unless you use the Visual Editor, which you can access from the dropdown by the blue Edit button. If you can't figure out how to add a job and have the formatting correct, just put in what you can and I'll fix the formatting. You can also add a link to a job here and I'll put it up. Lastly, you can send me an ad or link to 5120janon at g mail dot com and I'll post it.

Institutional Letterhead
 * 9/14 Eight categories is a lot of categories to look through to find the new job listings. It is only September, but now, when I see a job in "Recent" postings, it already takes a while to find the job in the eight alphabetized lists. I have time to spend on this, but in former iterations, all the jobs were listed together, and we managed fine. Some of the most significant jobs are in category eight. Before we have close to 100 listings, would this be the time to consolidate the categories? I think some of you/us who say you are only looking at specific categories might be missing out. One of you said above that you don't want to waste time looking at the wrong jobs -- I am more concerned that your "right" job might be in a category you re not reading. And if you are reading all of the announcements anyway (I am!), why not just have one big list? Okay, ready for criticism now!
 * 9/17 I don't think there's any way of organizing the page to make everyone happy. It seems that the consensus last time this was discussed was that categories (imperfect as they are) were better than one huge list. I also do not have time to reorganize/reformat the page at this point in the season. Regardless of how the page is organized, by far the best way to keep on top of all updates and to find changes easily is to subscribe to the RSS feed. If you don't already have an RSS reader set up (I know they're a little old school but I love RSS - how do you think I stay on top of finding newly-posted musicology jobs?), you can have new posts sent to your email instead. There are many ways to set this up but one of the easiest is IFTTT: https://ifttt.com/applets/147561p-rss-feed-to-email -5120j
 * 12/1 Reviving the perennial debate, what has everyone heard about using institutional letterhead as a graduate student, adjunct faculty member, and/or junior faculty member? I've always just pasted the letterhead image in next to my name and contact information, as a number of notable advice-givers online advocate, despite being told by one mentor that I would be viewed as a "thief" by hiring institutions for daring to assert that I was connected to an institution.
 * 12/2 Um, what? You are connected to an institution if you work for them—as a graduare worker/student, adjunct instructor, junior faculty, lecturer, etc. Absolutely use the letterhead of the institution for which you work. The department should provide letterhead without questoin. Whoever says otherwise is insane.
 * 12/2 I think calling it “theft” is hyperbole, but both places I went to grad school did not allow students to use letterhead. Whether or not they should is another question, but these things are not universal practices.


 * 1/4 I think not being allowed to post negativity (per the Wiki Counter, below) is evidence of some serious-ass blinders around here (says former adjunct/visiting instructor and bankruptcy/welfare survivor now still making just under a living wage as a customer service representative). Follow-up based on the following comment: I am all for recognizing that the system is broken and for increasing diversity, but I can also verify that even straight, white males do not always come out okay. I don't have "moderate wealth," that's for sure! I burned myself out by writing and publishing three books, along with book chapters and academic journal articles, presenting numerous conference papers, pursuing two post-Ph.D. programs in the past decade, and earlier teaching dozens of courses while adjunct/visiting and concurrently applying for hundreds of tenure-track academic jobs (with only a handful of interviews), among many other things.
 * Sir, this is a Wendy's...
 * 1/5 I agree. This industry is completely broken and we need to be able to 1) talk about our expriences 2) organize to change it. Universities are full of talk about diversification and dealing with their foundational assumptions rooted in white supremacy, but we're not going to ever be able to address those things if the only people who can even keep trying to get a job year after year are those with at least moderate wealth, and we're certainly not going to address the larger job crisis and corporatization of higher ed if we're just to keep mum lest our betters get wind of our complaints, and brand us ingrates or troublemakers. Let's not even get into about how you're supposed to publish to "stay competitive" when you're constantly applying for jobs and worrying about money.
 * 1/6 I think that item (and the one above it) got added to the wiki counter after the year when we had problems with people posting criticism of those who got jobs (including racist comments). Please feel free to discuss any of the above issues you mentioned, though my obsessive-compulsive need to keep this thing organized requests that you move it to the Discussion section rather than the counter. -5120j


 * 1/21 I removed a posting of a full-time job at the Aspen Music Festival for a program book editor as outside the scope of this wiki. If you are interested in the job, the posting is here: http://www.aspenmusicfestival.com/images/uploads/pdfs/Program_Book_Managing_Editor.pdf


 * Iona College Posting from 2018-2019: Iona College posted an Asst. Professor position last year with an August 2019 start. It was re-posted this year with an August 2020 start. Does anyone who applied last year and/or this year have any information on the progress of this search? Has anyone been contacted about interviews? Or has anyone been hired?
