JOB: Assistant Professor of Music (tenure-track)

The Music Department in the College of Arts, Media and Design at Northeastern University announces a search for an Assistant Professor of Music, tenure-track, with a broadly creative, cross-disciplinary and global approach to teaching and scholarship. The successful candidate will provide leadership in developing our newly restructured B.A. in Music, a degree that features a widely encompassing and flexible series of paths to majoring in music, in keeping with a larger view of creativity as inherently collaborative and central to all fields of inquiry.

The Music Department offers its undergraduate and graduate students a cross-disciplinary approach to the study and practice of music, underscored by real-world experiential learning, a global perspective, and cutting-edge technology.

Candidates must have a terminal degree in Musicology or Ethnomusicology by the start date. Candidates are expected to teach at the undergraduate and graduate levels and must have a well-developed research agenda that will inform and advance current trends in the field. The successful candidate will possess a strong record of, or progress toward, significant achievement in scholarship, reflecting an ability to place music in the context of creative practices across an array of disciplines within and beyond the arts from a richly multi-cultural perspective.
