JOB: Macalester College, Faculty Fellow in Music (2-year)

The Macalester College Department of Music seeks a scholar-teacher with demonstrated commitment to undergraduate liberal arts education to fill a two-year position as the Maxine and Winston Wallin Faculty Fellow in Music beginning in August, 2013. Duties include teaching one course per semester and contributing to the department as a full-time faculty member (advising independent studies and/or honors projects, adjudicating end-of-semester performance reviews, and the like). Selection of courses will be informed both by departmental need and the successful applicant's area of specialization. A Ph.D. in musicology is required, in hand by the time of appointment, and this degree must have been granted no earlier than January 1, 2008. The area of specialization within musicology is open; additional expertise in ethnomusicology/World Music is desirable, though not required. We are especially interested in candidates who desire to explore a potential career teaching at a liberal arts college and who can communicate that interest vividly in a cover letter.
