 * 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.

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

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


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


 * Please note that all documents must be in English.
 * The short-listed candidates will be invited to an interview by Skype or at UCC. Details of interview will be finalised at a later date. It is envisaged that the posts will start between January and May 2020 and run for two years. It is also envisaged that a further 1-2 postdoctoral posts will be advertised in years 2-3 of the five-year CIPHER study.
 * Finalists who are not selected for the two posts--and promising scholars with specializations outside of the specified regions--will be encouraged to apply for external funding to join the CIPHER Team. Qualified candidates will receive application support from the PI and UCC's Research Office in the application process. Applicants with specializations in any area of global hip hip studies (incl.

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.


 * 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
