Professor Description: The School of Music at The Ohio State University
seeks to hire an Assistant Professor of Music Theory starting August 15, 2023. The School of Music, housed in the new Timashev
Family Music Building, has a faculty of nationally and internationally
recognized performing artists, composers, scholars, and master teachers who are
specialists in their fields. The faculty serves a student body of approximately
300 undergraduate and 90 graduate music majors, as well as hundreds of
non-music majors who are pursuing music minors, taking classes, or
participating in one of the many performance ensembles. The School of Music values interdisciplinary
creative and scholarly work, curricular innovation, and public engagement.
Music theory faculty find intellectual community in the School of Music Research Collaboratory, as well as research
support and partnerships across the College of Arts and Sciences, including the
Advanced Computing Center for the Arts and Design, Global Arts and Humanities
Discovery Theme, Center for Cognition and Brain Sciences, Translational Data
Analytics Institute, Humanities Institute, and STEAM Factory. The successful candidate will collaborate with faculty colleagues
to innovate within our well-established progressive undergraduate core music
theory curriculum. They will mentor graduate student teachers in
research-informed teaching methods and design curricula that includes approaches
to studying musical structures and processes across a range of styles, cultures,
time periods, and genres. The candidate will pursue
an active program of scholarly research, as well as teach advanced
undergraduate and graduate courses aligned with the candidate’s experience and
research interests. The field of research is entirely
open: we welcome many kinds of scholarship that advance music studies,
including research that pushes disciplinary boundaries or combines research
methodologies. Qualifications: Earned doctorate preferred, but ABD candidates
with an expected graduation date on or before August 15, 2023 are invited to
apply. We will consider candidates with research specializations outside of music
theory, provided they have experience teaching undergraduate music theory and/or
aural training. We encourage applicants from women and members of historically
underrepresented groups. Appointment
is contingent on the university’s verification of credentials and other
information required by law and/or university policies, including but not
limited to a criminal background check. About
