• 7/31 "Whose interests cross disciplinary and methodological boundaries" may be an indication that one could think about this as not simply a "musicology" position.
• 8/1 I thought the same, which is why I initially placed it under "Music Studies." However, someone from Harvard contacted me and requested that it be moved to "Musicology Only." Nonetheless, I don't think the ad as written would preclude someone whose degree is something other than a PhD in Musicology from applying, provided they think they fit the profile. -5120j
