- 12/2 Moderator note: Continuation of failed search from last year.
- (Nov 21) Anyone have inside info on this situation? They ran the same search last year (but without the vague "vision statement" requirement) and it failed. The title of the position this time and last is exactly the former title of their current visiting lecturer (who's still listed as ABD). Does anyone else suspect they're just wasting our time over some bureaucratic technicalities? (I know, I know... "sometimes the inside candidate doesn't get the job"... but come on.)
- 11/22 No info on this particular search, but last two TT hires took positions elsewhere in fairly short order, so take that for what it's worth. Failed search last year much more likely due to internal politics than some long scheme to hire an inside candidate (speaking as someone who was a finalist for a different failed search last year).
- 12/19 Invitations have gone out (via email) for Skype interviews. (x8)
- 1/17 Looks like the Visiting Lecturer who seemed like an inside candidate is now listed as Assistant Professor (but not hired through this current search). The plot thickens!
- 1/20 Call for campus interview (x2)
- 2/23 Any news?
- 2/24 Offer received

New England Conservatory: Music History Professor (Deadline: 01 November 2016) FILLED: Mehmet Ali Sanlıkol, NEC 2004 (DMA Composition and Jazz Studies)[]

- 10/8/16: A music history professor with a PhD in ethnomusicology and a background in performance. I'm confused. Also, what type of position is this? Tenure-track, one-year, etc.?
- 10/8/16: I thought the announcement was strange, too. According to this announcement, the position is not tenure-track. https://chroniclevitae.com/jobs/0000335671-01
- 10/9/16: The announcement isn't worded as clearly as it could be, but it's not all that strange. As a conservatory, NEC focuses on performers, so they want a scholar who can play. (Too many "pure" scholars" haven't a clue how to talk to, let alone teach and mentor, performers.) There are a number of outstanding scholar/performers around the country right now.

- The FAS Department of Music at New York University invites applications for a performer-educator to expand our multifaceted approach to the study of music, sound, and listening. The ideal candidate will be an active performer who can demonstrate a history of artistic excellence, a creative approach to teaching, and robust ties to a number of musical scenes. Candidates must have earned a Bachelor’s degree or higher at the time of appointment; prior college-level teaching experience is valued but not required. We are especially interested in candidates whose musical practices increase the diversity of perspectives available to our students. The appointment will begin September 1, 2017, pending administrative and budgetary approval.
- This full-time position is a three-year renewable clinical assistant professorship oriented toward undergraduate teaching in a liberal arts environment. Professional responsibilities include: teaching undergraduate lecture courses and advanced seminars on specific music traditions or theoretical concepts; leading one or more ensembles; and presenting performances, master classes, and other musical activities in the Department.
- The Faculty of Arts and Science at NYU is at the heart of a leading research university that spans the globe. We seek educators of the highest caliber, who embody the diversity of the United States as well as the global society in which we live. We strongly encourage applications from women, racial and ethnic minorities, and other individuals who are under-represented in the profession, across color, creed, race, ethnic and national origin, physical ability, gender and sexual identity, or any other legally protected basis. NYU affirms the value of differing perspectives on the world as we strive to build the strongest possible university with the widest reach.

- From the SC: Update Dec 10th: Frequently Asked Questions
- In response to questions we’ve received from applicants, the department has prepared the following document. Please note that while the answers reflect the search committee’s best efforts towards a candid and transparent process, this information does not replace the official post and is subject to amendment and expansion.
- Are there particular performance traditions that are being sought? We are open to all performance traditions. We are particularly interested in applicants whose area(s) of musical expertise go beyond existing department specialties. Look at our course offerings, and at the faculty and graduate student biographies on our website to get a sense of our department.
- I have an ongoing career as a performing musician. Will I be able to maintain my performance schedule, including travel away from NYC? Given the nature of this position, the department recognizes the need for a reasonable amount of professional travel. Furthermore, since most courses meet twice per week, it is possible to create a teaching schedule that leaves ample time for weekend gigs.
- What is a “Clinical Assistant Professor”? A clinical professorship refers to a position that is oriented towards teaching rather than producing scholarly books and articles. Clinical professors are not on the tenure track; rather, they have three-year renewable contracts. As a rule, they teach undergraduates but not graduate students.
- Will I be expected to teach private lessons on my instrument/voice/electronic device? We are not looking for someone to give, for example, clarinet lessons. (No offense intended to clarinet players!) Individual musical instruction is not a core responsibility for this position. Rather, the person we hire will offer liberal arts courses to students in the College of Arts and Science. Some of these students will be music majors; most won’t. We will be looking to you to create an innovative set of courses on music that excite both groups. Members of the department faculty are eager to mentor and assist new faculty in developing courses appropriate for our students.
- What resources will be available for this position? Faculty members have access to our multi-purpose performance space and sound spatialization studio. The position also includes a modest research budget and applicants may propose new budgetary requests towards developing an ensemble or for other performance-related resources. The position also offers a full benefits package that includes health insurance and a retirement plan.
- Deadline extended to January 1.
- Request for more materials 1/26

- 03/24 Request for a campus interview

- 2/10 Invitation for campus interview
- 8/25 I was a finalist for this job, and I just wanted to add what I know of the outcome. I waited about a month after my on-campus before I got an email rejection. I later learned that the dean of the College did not want to hire any of the three candidates put forward by the search committee. They compromised by offering one of the candidates a 2-year VAP. (I do not know who the "successful" candidate is.) My own unhappiness with the outcome aside, I think it's worth keeping this in mind for future searches run by this department—a tenure line potentially lost because the dean makes near unilateral decisions based on a CV and a 30-minute conversation. Yes, I am still bitter about this, but I also find it unconscionable in today's job market to take away a tenure-track position this easily. Sorry for the editorialising.

You have to submit a general application to the entire consortium here (this link was buried on the Gettysburg page): https://apply.interfolio.com/35809 and also an application for this specific post-doc at the St. Lawrence employment site.

State University of Campinas Arts Institute (IA-Unicamp): Post-doctoral fellowships (4) in Local Musicking (Deadline: 14 August 2017)[]
- Nº: 1615
- Field of knowledge: Anthropology
- FAPESP process: 16/05318-7
- Project title: Local Musicking - New pathways for ethnomusicology
- Working area: Ethnomusicology / Anthropology of Music
- Principal investigator: Suzel Ana Reily
- Unit/Instituition: Instituto de Artes / Unicamp
- Deadline for submissions: 2017-08-14
- Publishing date: 2017-06-02
- Locale: R. Elis Regina, 50 - Cidade Universitária, Campinas - SP, 13083-854
- E-mail for proposal submission: pd.musicarlocal@gmail.com
- Selection of candidates for 4 (four) Post-doctoral Fellowships in Ethnomusicology/Anthropology of Music. The Fellowships are linked to the FAPESP Thematic Project 2016/05318-7 "Local Musicking - New pathways for ethnomusicology". Two fellowships, supervised by Professor Suzel A Reily, will be based at the State University of Campinas Arts Institute (IA-Unicamp); Two fellowships, supervised by Professor Rose Satiko Hikiji, will be based at the University of São Paulo Department of Anthropology (FFLCH-USP).
- 1) Summary of the Thematic Project: This Thematic Project (TP) aims to investigate how music produces locality and how it is produced by locality. By focusing on the locality of the musical activity, we call attention to the role of music in articulating this context, regardless of the origin of the style in question. Localities are dynamic settings; they are points of continuous encounter between people, ideas, practices, technologies, and objects that converge in the locality over time. The specificity of a locality derives more from its relationships to other localities than from its isolation. Here, we aim to document how musical engagement articulates with the social interactions that occur during musicking, whether the participants are amateurs or professionals. The project, therefore, focuses on the investigation of the relations between music and locality in terms of the people involved in musicking.
- TP Subthemes:
- Musicking and the production of locality;
- Localities, encounters and connections in local musicking;
- Learning, transmission and preparation;
- Technologies of local musicking.
- 2) Research projects: The specific themes to be developed by each research fellow will be defined by the candidates, according to their previous research backgrounds and personal interests, but it is envisaged that fellows contribute to the collective advancement of the debates surrounding the TP as a whole. In conformity with the general objectives of the TP, the fellows' projects will be guided by the following key questions:
- What is the nature of musicking in the local context? What does this tell us about the production of locality and the ways in which localities are experienced by those involved in local musicking?
- What contributes to the establishment of musical engagement and of feelings of commitment to music production at the local level?
- How do local music groups operate as 'art worlds' and/or 'communities of practice'? How do their organizational structures affect the forms of musicking in a locality, both in the amateur and professional domains?
- In what ways do people, objects, technologies, institutions interact in musical practices? How are these 'agents' related to a physical or imagined locality?
- 3) Description of the job activities: Each fellow will undertake an individual research project throughout the duration of the fellowship, following the criteria set out below:
- Use and development of methodologies coherent with contemporary Ethnomusicology and the Anthropology of Music;
- Production of publications in various modalities (articles in journals of high impact, articles in edited collections, academic books, textbooks, audio-visual productions, documentaries, CDs, internet sites/blogs etc.);
- Participation and organization of scientific events and outreach programmes;
- Contribution to undergraduate training (through the supervision of introductory research projects, lectures, contributions to courses) and post-graduate training (through lectures, contributions to courses);
- Participation in the regular meetings of the TP research group.
- 4) Candidate's requirements: a. The candidate should have concluded a doctorate less than seven years before the beginning of the PD fellowship. b. The fellowship demands full time dedication to the research project (except under conditions outlined in resolution PR Nº 13/2009, 15 July 2009). c. The fellowship holder may not hold any formal or informal employment nor receive, during the term of the fellowship, a fellowship from another entity, salary or remuneration deriving from the exercise of activities of whatever nature (except under conditions outlined in the decree PR Nº 13/2009, 15 July 2009).
- 5) Candidate's obligations: a. Full dedication to research (except under conditions outlined in the resolution PR Nº 13/2009, 15 July 2009). b. Not to receive a fellowship from another entity, salary or remuneration deriving from the exercise of activities of any nature (except under conditions outlined in the resolution PR Nº 13/2009, 15 July 2009). c.

Not to make any modifications to the project (initial plan, dates etc.) without the prior consent of the Foundation. e. To submit scientific reports and reports on the application of the Research Contingency Funds within the time frames laid out in the Terms of Award (TA), accompanied by the requested documentation. f. Not to absent himself from the institution in which he is developing his research project, except to carry out field research or a research placement, for a limited time and with the authorization of FAPESP and with the supervisor's endorsement. g. To refer to the support from FAPESP in theses, articles, books, abstracts of presentations in meetings and any other type of publication or form of outreach activities that result, wholly or in part, from the fellowship.

- Posting Date: 10/07/2016
- 10/18 - Does anyone know if this search is still active, since the position announcement is not available at the site listed above?
- 10/19 (Moderator note) - Since the job listing posted to AMS-L on 10/17 was slightly different (and has a different, earlier, deadline) than the above one as posted online on 10/7, I think they're probably revising the online post and it will reappear shortly. I'll update the URL when it comes back online, and in the meantime I've updated the above post in bold to reflect the job as advertised on AMS-L. It's also unclear if this is still an open rank job as it was originally, or if it's just Assistant Professor now.
- 10/19 the link above is wrong: https://ejobs.umd.edu/ gets you to the job posting. As of last night the announcement wasn't posting there and I e-mailed a friend on faculty there who tells me there is a glitch in the system that they are working on fixing asap. The job description is listed on the school of music home page: http://www.music.umd.edu/
- 10/20 I'm so confused - the PDF on the School of Music site (now linked above) has the 11/14 deadline again. And as of this morning the job is still missing from the https://ejobs.umd.edu/ site, so it's hard to know which deadline is authoritative.
- 10/20 (2) The person I know in the department there let me know the link is fixed on the jobs site. S/he also clarified that this is an Assistant Prof. job, not open rank, but they are open to people other than newly minted Ph.D.s with some prior experience. But they are definitely looking entry level rather than mid-career.
- 10/21 (Moderator again) Thank you! Looks like they settled on Nov. 14 as the deadline. I've updated the page accordingly and posted the link to the Ejobs site.
