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. Keep in mind that more often than not, the application software is set up to stop accepting applications after the date mentioned (in this case, September 15).

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?
 * 10/17 Good question. From the other side of things, a lot of ethnomusicology jobs (or jobs in the hybrid category above) require teaching WAM along with things like world music--something I'd imagine some ethnomusicologists are not trained to do. I imagine that there's a convergence of musicology and ethnomusicology occurring from both sides, out of a desire to both diversify musicology methods/scope and also bring ethnomusicology in line with the existing needs/focus of departments. It seems like this should encourage grad programs to teach both, or at least help students gain proficiency in both modes of scholarship/teaching. I wonder if this is indeed a paradigm shift or if it's been a common thing to see over the past 10 years or so. And I'd be curious to know whether these hybrid jobs usually go to ethnomusicologists or musicologists.
 * 11/1 Notably, I believe this is the first year with ZERO institutions doing interviews (even preliminary informational interviews) at AMS. The only two institutions listed are both interviewing for theory jobs as part of the SMT joint meeting: https://www.amsmusicology.org/page/SA_interviews Does this mark the end of the conference interview for musicology/ethnomusicology?


 * 11/20 An inquiry about the Dartmouth position, for which many on here and on various social media have noted the number of applicants stated in the rejection email: 322. The ad welcomed theorists as well as musicologists, and dozens of scholars already on the tenure track were surely throwing their names into the hat. However, the number still feels much higher than anything that the Wiki, or the common wisdom of peers and mentors, has thus far suggested, at least for this writer. Does anyone know how it's possible for a single ad to receive this many applicants? Why don't more institutions state the number of applicants? Why is there so much talk of the AMS tracking the market, or of increased transparency in hiring, yet no action on this on anyone's part? Should emerging scholars just give up now, if they'll always be pitted against hundreds of people with more developed CVs? Interested in people's thoughts, especially anyone on here who's been on a committee and has an idea what exactly "the market" is and whether people just out of grad school stand a chance.
 * 11/21 Great thoughts, and I sympathize with your frustration after having experienced many rejections over the course of my career. I can only address the last question with any authority. It really depends on the type of university (e.g., research-intensive vs teaching, etc.), the needs of the department (unusual curriculum? niche need?), and then the candidate's tenurability according to those needs, assuming the position is TT. A lot of fresh graduates are tenurable in 5-7 years at most places if they have a strong publication trajectory in peer-reviewed venues and/or strong teaching chops, depending on the standards. So I wouldn't give up just because you're relatively inexperienced. A solid research plan and dependable teaching are the coins of the realm--period. Communicate those clearly to the committee, and everything else is beyond your control.
 * 11/24 Another voice here.  I've kept an eye on musicology job listings for years, twice collecting statistics.  It's been a few years and collecting the data was always 'iffy' as getting official numbers is sometimes quite a challenge.  For what it is worth, the average number of applicants was 37 per listing, and keep in mind that includes small schools in rural locations.  While the number attracted by Dartmouth seems high, one trend I did note was that schools in the NE corridor attracted far more candidates than schools elsewhere. Working conditions are unionized and salaries and benefits are good, plus one is near so very much.  There is also the likelihood that many of us not actively looking for a position would see the Dartmouth post and consider giving it a try.  These are just thoughts, so take them for the little they are worth.  Also, as many of us will attest, sometimes a position seems perfectly tailored to one's strengths, line by line, yet one is in the first pile of those cut.  Other times, one makes the final 3 even though the initial ad was somewhat different from the candidates area.  Sometimes there is just no telling what the committee was thinking.  I look back, too, at the first committee I chaired, and wonder why we instantly rejected one particular candidate who was well overqualified for the post, with numerous publications and a great teaching record.  We didn't even discuss it, just moved the candidate to the reject pile.  I think looking back we all saw the overqualification and assumed he wouldn't accept what we had to offer or, if he did, wouldn't stay in our area for long.
