Yale University: Two Tenure-Track Musicology Positions (Open Rank) (Deadline: 15 September 2018)

 * Open Date: Jul 30, 2018
 * Description: The Yale University Department of Music seeks to hire two historical musicologists, with primary specializations in music since 1600, for tenure‑track or tenured positions, with a preferred starting date of Fall 2019. Rank is open and appointments can be made at the assistant, tenured associate, or full professor levels. We are looking for scholars and inspiring teachers of exceptional intellectual promise and/or accomplishment, whose research is methodologically innovative and profoundly engaged with music‑making and musical repertories. Interdisciplinary emphases and a demonstrated engagement with related fields of study are highly desirable.
 * Qualifications: Applicants must have a Ph.D. or equivalent at the time of hire.
 * Application Instructions: Applications should include a CV and cover letter. Candidates applying for an untenured appointment should also submit a minimum of three reference letters from outside Yale, along with a writing sample. The committee will begin reviewing applications on 15 September 2018, and the review will continue until the positions are filled.
 * 9/15 (1) What does this last paragraph mean? I gather that if I'm applying as an assistant, then I DO need to submit three recommendations? But if I designate (somewhere?) that I'm applying at the tenured level or "full professor" level, then I DON'T? Is that right? Also, why do they not make a firm deadline? Will applications submitted after Sept. 15 be considered, or not? No promises? Strangely ambiguous.


 * 9/15 (2) I think if you already have tenure you don't have to send in letters. But if you are currently untenured then you should submit letters.
 * 9/15 (1) Got it...what about the rolling deadline thing? I have seen this once or twice before. Does anyone know what it means? Thanks.
 * 9/15 (3) I've been on the market for a couple of years, and I think it's best to always treat the wording above (in Tenure-Track job ads) to mean that the firm deadline is September 15.

Responsibilities may also include directing a student ensemble. Candidates are expected to have an exceptional background in scholarship, performance, composition, or other creative areas. Additionally, academic leadership and fundraising skills are essential for advancing the new program.
 * Candidates must be eligible for a split appointment in one of the School’s three cognate departments: Ethnomusicology, Music, or Musicology.

 * The Department of Music in the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music is pleased to invite applications for a senior-level, tenured, professorial position as inaugural holder of the Leo M. and Elaine Krown Klein Endowed Chair in Performance Studies. In 2014, longtime UCLA arts philanthropist Elaine Krown Klein made a $2 million gift to establish this chair in music performance studies in the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music’s Department of Music to honor her late husband, Leo M. Klein. This permanent endowed chair — the first in the history of the Department of Music — will support a distinguished, senior-level professor with a demonstrated record of excellence as a scholar, musician, and teacher. The chair holder’s primary role will be to lead and teach in a distinctive MM/DMA graduate program centered on the performance of Western art music and built around a suite of core courses in bibliography, notation and performance, analysis, and historical performance practices.
 * We seek a scholar/performer for this position for two reasons: because we believe that the advanced training of performers greatly benefits from mentors who exemplify excellence in both fields; and because we aim to graduate students from our program who not only understand the value of both approaches, but who can bring both skill sets to their future careers. In addition to supporting the chairholder’s individual research, the Klein Chair is intended to support departmental and School of Music-wide* initiatives integrating performance and scholarship, such as festivals, recordings, theme-based programming, conferences, touring and multimedia collaborations.
 * The UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music consists of three departments: Ethnomusicology, Music and Musicology. Its founding principles strongly encourage interdepartmental student and faculty collaboration.
 * The successful candidate should possess a broad skill set encompassing as many of the following as possible:
 * an active publication record in the area of music performance studies
 * documented skills as a professional-level performer, such as recordings and/or professionally reviewed public performances
 * a distinguished record of teaching at the graduate level
 * experience in directing DMA dissertations and leading graduate seminars for performers
 * the ability to coach soloists and ensembles
 * a dynamic and collaborative approach to curriculum development
 * a commitment to mentoring graduate students in both academic and career matters
 * interest in helping to forge a collective vision for music performance at the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music


 * The successful candidate must also demonstrate a strong commitment to furthering the values of diversity in our university community through exemplary teaching, research and service.
 * Salary and rank commensurate with qualifications and professional experience. Doctorate or equivalent professional experience preferred; master's degree required. Anticipated start date is July 1, 2019.
 * APPLICATION: Applications must be submitted to the UC Recruit website online at: https://recruit.apo.ucla.edu/apply/JPF03969
 * Candidates should submit:
 * a comprehensive curriculum vitae
 * a letter of interest with special attention to the role of music performance studies in the training of today’s professional musicians and educators
 * a representative selection of publications in the area of performance studies (in PDF format)
 * links to live and/or recorded performances
 * a statement of teaching philosophy
 * EDI statement describing the applicant’s past, present, and future (planned) contributions to equity, diversity, and inclusion across all areas of professional achievement
 * names and contact information of five to six professional references. Please do not upload reference letters; the search committee will contact references directly at an appropriate time in the process.


 * Application deadline: November 2, 2018

GENERAL DISCUSSION
Musicology/Ethnomusicology 2018-19 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.
 * 5. NEW FOR 2019! I am going to try separating jobs into a couple categories, as other wikis do. Also, I'm going to stop posting the entire text of part-time/adjunct jobs, since this wiki always gets borderline unusable by the spring, since it's so huge.


 * 8/14 question for the moderator: I like the new categories, but what to do if a job potentially fits two categories? For example, the tenure-track job at UC San Diego seems likely to attract candidates from ethnomusicology as well as musicology (or someone who does a little of both). Also, a comment: thanks for all that you do!
 * 8/15 Yes, I concur. I don't want there to be TOO many categories (or the goal of being able to focus quickly on the jobs most relevant to you will be compromised), but tenure-track jobs that are open to both historical musicologists and ethnomusicologists is probably going to be a common enough situation that it does deserve its own category. I'll go ahead and add it and move the UC San Diego job. -5120j


 * 9/14 General inquiry: for those of us on the market, is it essential to attend AMSMT? Given the cost and timing, it's tempting to forego the trip this year, but I'm worried about missing out on some potentially life-changing prelim. interview or networking opportunity. Thoughts from those with more experience?
 * 9/17 It wasn't for me. I hadn't attended the previous national meeting when I landed my TT job. I'm not saying that you shouldn't, nor can I say definitively to what extent my situation is typical or not. If I had to guess, based upon my experience, I'd say that the AMS national conference component is more crucial to interviews for jobs where you won't be the only musicologist in your department. In positions where you're going to be the only musicologist, it seems less likely that this will be crucial to your chances. Indeed, many of your potential non-musicology colleagues might not know exactly what AMS is, let alone attend its national meeting to network with applicants. (That's not a slight. They have their own societies, in which few of us often participate.) But if you're in doubt, go.
 * 9/18 Attending SEM was crucial to landing my tenure-track job in ethnomusicology because the department that hired me conducted first round interviews there. In my case, they requested the interview the week before the meeting. I know many departments do this at the big fall conferences, while others do "informational interviews" before applications are due. It's a very unpredictable system. I'd say that if you can afford to go even for just one or two days, it can't hurt your chances. The cost to your personal finances, however, is a different story. This year's meetings are more expensive than normal.
 * Thanks for sharing. I'm curious when schools set up these first round interviews that take place at SEM. Is a week's notice pretty typical? Also, is there any value to attending these "informational interviews"?
 * I don't think an "informational interview" alone is worth the expense of going to to a fall conference. The cattle call nature of them can feel overwhelming. If you have another reason to go, then they can be interesting because you can get a sense of whether or not you want to apply. They can also give you a good idea of what to put in the application and the priorities of the committee. I have only been invited to a couple of first round interviews at fall conferences, and in both cases, the notice was relatively short (1-2 weeks) and the committee was prepared to do skype interviews for those who couldn't attend.
 * 9/18 Speaking from the other side of the table: our university has done AMS interviews in the past. In no case ever was anyone not considered for the job because they were not at the meeting, or there but could not get a slot. All CVs were carefully considered at home. In many cases, however, that initial contact did help weed out people who didnot move on. Only if someone really stood out as special, did it help their case. More often, that preliminary meeting kept individuals from moving on because in person they may not have seemed like a "good fit," even if their CV might have held up to the next round without the contact.  Of course, every institution is different, and thereby their approach to the matter is different, so as the previous person stated, if you think it will help do it, but you probably should not worry if you choose not to. Remember, though, those preliminary interviews may help your case, but they may also do the opposite. Food for thought.
 * 10/8 Kudos to the Moderator for removing hateful, ignorant posts. There should be, however, a serious discussion about the kinds of positions opening for music studies candidates. The majority of TT jobs posted in the last two years desire some amount of expertise in ethnomusicology, popular music, 20th-21st-century musics, global perspectives, etc. Is this a wave of (much-needed) openings for such experts, or a paradigm shift in the field? What responsiblity do we have to our PhD students, who are choosing their dissertation topics? Should we be teaching to the needs of the job market?
