 * 10/8/16: A music history professor with a PhD in ethnomusicology and a background in performance. I'm confused. Also, what type of position is this? Tenure-track, one-year, etc.?
 * 10/8/16: I thought the announcement was strange, too. According to this announcement, the position is not tenure-track. https://chroniclevitae.com/jobs/0000335671-01

 * Posting Date: 10/07/2016
 * 10/18 - Does anyone know if this search is still active, since the position announcement is not available at the site listed above?
 * 10/19 (Moderator note) - Since the job listing posted to AMS-L on 10/17 was slightly different (and has a different, earlier, deadline) than the above one as posted online on 10/7, I think they're probably revising the online post and it will reappear shortly. I'll update the URL when it comes back online, and in the meantime I've updated the above post in bold to reflect the job as advertised on AMS-L. It's also unclear if this is still an open rank job as it was originally, or if it's just Assistant Professor now.
 * 10/19 the link above is wrong: https://ejobs.umd.edu/ gets you to the job posting. As of last night the announcement wasn't posting there and I e-mailed a friend on faculty there who tells me there is a glitch in the system that they are working on fixing asap. The job description is listed on the school of music home page: http://www.music.umd.edu/
 * 10/20 I'm so confused - the PDF on the School of Music site (now linked above) has the 11/14 deadline again. And as of this morning the job is still missing from the https://ejobs.umd.edu/ site, so it's hard to know which deadline is authoritative.
 * 10/20 (2) The person I know in the department there let me know the link is fixed on the jobs site. S/he also clarified that this is an Assistant Prof. job, not open rank, but they are open to people other than newly minted Ph.D.s with some prior experience. But they are definitely looking entry level rather than mid-career.
 * 10/21 (Moderator again) Thank you! Looks like they settled on Nov. 14 as the deadline. I've updated the page accordingly and posted the link to the Ejobs site.

 * Moderator note 8/16 - I think the requests for a conducting video and a statement of vision for an orchestral program were included in error. I'll update the above listing if/when the job posting is changed.
 * 8/22 Language about conducting has been removed (although they also removed the request for references, possibly accidentally). Above ad is edited accordingly.
 * Also posted at Music Theory/Composition 2016-2017
 * 9/28 Interested applicants beware: this posting doesn't mention three letters of recommendation, but these ARE required, and they can't be sent through Interfolio. The online application system sends out requests to referees. My referees were caught unawares, since the posting didn't mention anything about references, and I didn't know to ask them in advance.
 * 10/1: This may be a late, but, in reference to the comment made on 9/28, I *think* you can use Interfolio. When uploading the letters of rec. in the documents section of the application, you have to use the email address interfolio assigns to each letter in your dossier. When looking at your LORs in your dossier, left-click on the name of the recommender (the "Recommendation from Prof. X"), and a text bubble will appear prompting you to "Edit Document." Page down a bit, and you'll eventually see "document email." It'll be the recommender's name with a sequence of letters and numbers, followed by @interfolio.com. Use those email addresses when uploading the LOR information. You'll get email notifications from Interfolio to send those individually, but I usually go to the Interfolio home page and click on "applications." It'll have all three or four letters waiting to be checked out, and I send them all in one shot. I just applied to UT using this method, and it appears to have worked. I just got confirmation that the emails were sent. I believe this method works for any general e-application. I hope this helps, but please let me know if I'm mistaken!
 * 10/5: Job posted on Chronicle and HigherEdJobs.com, despite "Review of applications will begin October 1." I don't think the opening was advertized very broadly before that (I only ever saw it here).
 * 10/10: In response to 10/1: thank you! This is hugely helpful for all future applications that use their own submission form.
 * 10/19 ^^^ You bet! Good luck out there.

 * 10/12 Western Michigan will be interviewing at AMS. As of 12 October, all spots are filled but you can still request to be added to the wait list: http://www.ams-net.org/vancouver/interviews/index.php
 * 10/19 (1) Were any other Jewish applicants frustrated that interviews for Western Michigan and UHawai'i were announced and instantly filled on Yom Kippur? x2
 * 10/19 (2) I was extremely frustrated about the U Hawaii one. The Western Michigan one was put up a week earlier over Rosh Hashanah. In my opinion, it gives an edge to people who are not practicing Jews. Perhaps it was on purpose, but more likely a sad oversight on the part of AMS.
 * 10/19 (1) Yes, it does seem like an AMS oversight. I wrote an anonymous message in their online suggestions box, politely requesting that they watch out for high holidays in future. Maybe if more of us let them know, they'll be more conscientious about this next year.

GENERAL DISCUSSION
Musicology/Ethnomusicology 2016-17 Wiki Moderators: 5120j (5120janon@gmail.com) and Hybridist.


 * 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 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.


 * 8/27 Question: I like to read the wiki through news feeds. I can't find the RSS or atom for this wiki; even if I append ?=rss or atom, it doesn't work. How could I access the news feed?
 * Click on the "Subscribe to RSS Feed for This Page" link under Recent Activity above.
 * 9/28 So far, I see 4 jobs that will accept a DMA rather than a PhD, but that nonetheless appear to be primarily musicological. Do others here have any thoughts or insights on this? Is this a new trend?


 * 11/1 Some statistical info: 100th job posted on October 31 this year; in 2015 we hit 100 on November 19 and in the 2014-15 season, the wiki didn't reach 100 until February 11.
