JOB: Grinnell College, musicology/early music (one-year)


GRINNELL COLLEGE.  One-year leave replacement position in Music (Musicology/Early Music), starting Fall 2013.  Assistant Professor (Ph.D. or DMA) preferred, Instructor (ABD) possible.  Grinnell College is a highly selective undergraduate liberal arts college where music (both performance and academics) plays an important role in the curriculum.  The Music Department has a large collection of early instruments and superb facilities in the Bucksbaum Center for the Arts.  The successful candidate should demonstrate excellence and experience in two main areas: 1) academic scholarship/classroom teaching of music history and 2) performance/directing of Early Music.  Expertise in both vocal and instrumental performance of Early Music is desirable (especially harpsichord).  The College's curriculum is founded on a strong advising system and close student-faculty interaction, with few college-wide requirements beyond the completion of a major.  The teaching schedule of five courses over two semesters will include a music appreciation course for non-majors (fall), a two-semester survey of Western music history for majors, and directing the Collegium Musicum both semesters.

In letters of application, candidates should discuss their interest in developing as a teacher and scholar in an undergraduate, liberal-arts college that emphasizes close student-faculty interaction. They also should discuss what they can contribute to efforts to cultivate a wide diversity of people and perspectives, a core value of Grinnell College.  To be assured of full consideration, all application materials should be received by February 28, 2013.
