4. For logging comments or updates, please begin your entry with a bullet point. Each entry should have a separate line.

5. For substantive comments or updates about status, interaction, etc., please include the date at the beginning of your entry so that users can scan the info quickly for new entries.

UPCOMING DEADLINES

  • "We invite applications from scholars with outstanding potential, working at the intersections of music and history, who will complement the specializations of current Harvard music faculty, and whose interests cross disciplinary and methodological boundaries."
  • 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
