The Department of Music at Brandeis University seeks a dynamic scholar-teacher to augment our current program strengths. The position is on the tenure track at the rank of Assistant Professor and the area of specialization is open; however, we particularly welcome applicants with research and teaching interests that reach beyond the traditional Western canon. Ethnomusicologists, specialists in folk and popular musics, and music historians with global and/or interdisciplinary perspectives, including those specializing in African American Music, Music of the Black Diaspora, Music of Latin America, or Indigenous Musics of the Americas are especially encouraged to apply. Application will consist of your letter of intent and curriculum vitae submitted to https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/19574. Your letter of intent and your curriculum vitae should evidence your commitment and contributions to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging, including information about your understanding of these issues. Separate teaching and diversity statements, and writing samples will be requested at a later stage: please do not send additional materials at this time. First consideration will be given to applications received by October 15, 2021. Please contact Professor Karen Desmond (kdesmond@brandeis.edu), Chair of the Search Committee, for informal inquiries.
At Brandeis, we believe that diversity, equity, and inclusion are essential components of academic excellence.
