  • Curriculum Vitae.
  • A list of potential courses the candidate would want to teach for general students and for graduate students at the master’s level.
  • A one-page statement about experience with and commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion and how the applicant can contribute to DU’s values, practices, and actions [1] in these areas and work effectively with ethnically/racially diverse populations.
  • Names and contact information for three individuals that can provide letters of recommendation. Letters of recommendation will be requested once your application is submitted.
  • 10/29: request for more materials (x4)
    • 11/12: I submitted additional materials a week or so ago, but didn't receive a confirmation. Anyone else?
      • 11/12a: I submitted just a couple days ago, but no confirmation either (x2) (edited to add, I did end up receiving confirmation on 11/12.)
      • 11/14: I (original poster) just received confirmation as well. Thanks, everyone!
  • 10/30 If this is an internal hire, I will call an attorney and file a complain.
    • 10/30a I'm one of the people asked for more materials, and I'm in no way internal here. The market is tough for everyone, whether that person is internal or not—let's not turn on each other and make it worse.
    • 10/30b If there is an internal hire, it should be openly stated. Serious scholars do not have time for deceitful and distasteful games.
      • 10/30a I'm absolutely with you—nothing makes me angrier than when searches aren't up front about what they want. However, in my experience, even if there is an internal candidate, the faculty are rarely in agreement about them, and the job is open. Certainly, there are percentages of more or less openness, and the opacity of the academic job market makes a stressful process worse.
  • 11/1 The existence of an internal candidate is not a guarantee that a search is an inside hire. If you're interested in the job, apply; if you're not, don't, but this sort of speculation is, at best, a waste of everyone's time. Maybe the internal candidate hates the job and department and location and didn't even bother to apply, or maybe they're a shoe-in and applications from anyone else are going straight in the trash. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle, and no one here knows. In my experience moderating this wiki for many (many) years, the job searches that are truly fake are often posted with super short deadlines, and aren't advertised outside the school's HR site.

University of Manitoba: Assistant Professor, Indigenous Music FILLED: Melody McKiver, Memorial University 2014 (MA Ethnomusicology)[]

  • Deadline: Review begins 08 March 2022
  • The Desautels Faculty of Music (DFOM) at the University of Manitoba (UM) is pleased to invite applications for a tenure-track position in Music for an Indigenous music practitioner and/or scholar. The appointment will be at the rank of Assistant Professor and begin on 1 July 2022. This opportunity is open to individuals who are Indigenous (First Nations, Métis, and Inuit).
  • In reconsidering our curriculum and the music we teach, perform, and study, the DFOM has been taking fundamental steps toward creating an environment in which Indigenous students and scholars can thrive. To that end, we have established a faculty learning community focused on reconciliation and decolonization; we are developing new collaborative models and commissioning practices with Indigenous musicians; we have broadened both our methodologies and the scope of the musics with which we engage in music theory, musicology/ethnomusicology, and music education; and we have begun to reflect on the fundamental roles language and the land might play in decolonizing our faculty's activities. We are searching for a colleague who will model decolonial practices in their course content, the structure of their discourse, and interactions with students in their classroom, studio, and/or rehearsal hall. Ideally, the candidate will embed Indigenous knowledge and perspectives into their courses and amplify the voices of other Indigenous scholars and artists, thereby helping to place European classical music and jazz in a broader context, challenging the structures that uphold their dominance in our faculty and society.
  • Responsibilities: The successful candidate will be expected to teach a full range of courses in their area(s) of expertise; maintain an active research and/or creative work program; and engage in a range of institutional, professional, and community service. Because this position will likely open new avenues of study in our curriculum, the candidate will be encouraged to develop new courses closely aligned with their research/artistic work in any area relevant to Indigenous experience related to music.
  • Qualifications: The ideal candidate will hold a terminal degree in their area of expertise. At minimum, they will have a master's degree in music and/or expertise in Indigenous cultural and musical practices. Although specialization remains open, priority will be given to candidates whose professional practice crosses disciplinary boundaries and/or engages with music outside the realm of Western art music. The DFOM is interested in applicants committed to engaging with Indigenous and non-Indigenous students and to bringing together academic and non-academic communities. Post-secondary teaching experience will be considered an asset. Further information regarding the UM's initiatives with respect to expanding Indigenous leadership is available at: https://umanitoba.ca/about-um/vice-president-indigenous/engaging-community-expanding-indigenous-leadership.
  • Application Materials: Please send a cover letter, CV, statement of teaching philosophy, and at least two samples of recent research and/or creative work. As the DFOM has been actively engaged with decolonizing its curriculum, supporting Indigenous student success, and diversifying our role within the UM and the community, applicants are asked to also include a statement about how they see themselves contributing to these vital initiatives. Finally, please arrange for three (3) confidential letters of reference to be sent under separate cover to:

  • 8/3 - I believe this is just to cover for some leaves for Fall 2021 and it has to legally be posted as an open position.
  • 8/4 Wouldn't it make more sense for it to say "temporary" rather than "regular faculty" in that case?
  • 8/5 I'm a student in the department and we haven't heard anything about a "regular faculty" hire. There are 2 faculty on leave this term and even with some TT faculty teaching an overloaded term, there are some courses that need covering (and no grad students to teach them either). Not sure what's up with the label, but we haven't heard anything about any upcoming long term hires.

Successful candidates will be part of a growing number of Indigenous faculty across Laurier’s campuses and will be supported in their careers by their home departments, faculties, and central administration. Indigenous scholars joining Laurier through this Inclusive Excellence cohort program will be warmly welcomed by departments and colleagues that are committed to EDI and have in place a supportive onboarding and retention strategy.
  • Positions are open to scholars from all ranks and from the following disciplines:
  • The Faculty of Music is seeking a musician/teacher (broadly defined as performer, composer, conductor and/or scholar) to join the Community Music program with expertise in Indigenous music that intersects with community health and wellness. This position would be affiliated with Community Music at the undergraduate and graduate levels, with strong ties to Music Therapy at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and potential for curricular connections across other areas of the Faculty of Music, the university and in the community. Teaching will be based on the candidate’s expertise and could include existing or new coursework. The candidate’s work will help develop and expand the curriculum at the Faculty of Music, diversify repertoire in the school, and support the school’s interest in growth and innovation.

Successful candidates’ scholarships should support and enhance at least one area of priority listed above. Within higher education in Canada, traditional or conventional academic pathways in research and teaching can reinforce biases in the filling of faculty positions. Laurier encourages applications from those whose scholarship and teaching may not fit traditional academic conventions. Laurier is particularly interested in welcoming Indigenous Scholars whose contributions to Indigenous thought and philosophy will enhance the academic standing and culture of the university as it continues to evolve rapidly into a more research-intensive, comprehensive, university.

  • a sample publication, scholarly output or writing sample; and
  • the names and contact information of three referees.
  • Laurier will be taking steps to confirm candidates' ‘Indigenous identity’ as part of the recruitment and selection process. The process used to confirm identity has been developed in consultation with the Office of Indigenous Initiatives.
  • Applications can be addressed to Mike Young, executive search associate and submitted electronically to myoung@boyden.com.

This fellowship program mirrors the goals of the SUNY PRODiG program (https://www.suny.edu/prodig/) which advances diversity and inclusive excellence by encouraging the recruitment, retention and promotion of outstanding scholars from different backgrounds, including individuals from groups that have been historically underrepresented in higher education.

The college is particularly, but not exclusively, interested in scholars who can contribute to interdisciplinary programs in Digital and Data Studies (https://www.binghamton.edu/harpur/undergraduate/digital-data.html) and Global Public Health (degree program currently under development).
  • The following responsibilities include: The fellows are expected to conduct original research, publish scholarly work, and/or engage in creative activities, as appropriate to the department wherein they will be appointed, and to teach or co-teach one or more courses per year as the instructor of record.
