ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF MUSIC

Department of Music

Brown University

The Department of Music at Brown University invites applications for the position of Assistant Professor in Ethnomusicology, to begin July 1, 2007. We seek a candidate with broad interdisciplinary interests and evidence of exceptional scholarly promise. Experience in undergraduate teaching is highly desirable. The successful candidate will be expected to teach undergraduate and graduate courses in specific area(s) of the world's music, as well as more general theoretical or topic-based courses.  Candidates who can also lead a performance ensemble will be viewed favorably.  Applicants should have received the Ph.D. by June 2007.

Brown University is a leading Ivy League institution with a distinctive academic program and a tradition of innovative and rigorous multidisciplinary study. A commitment to diversity and intellectual freedom has remained a hallmark of the University since its establishment. The Department of Music--with 14 full-time faculty, 30 teaching associates, and a state-of-the-art music library--supports undergraduate and graduate courses in the areas of history, theory, ethnomusicology, composition, performance, computer music and multimedia. Under the leadership of President Ruth Simmons, the University's research profile has been growing, and Music has been changing along with it. Since 2004 the Department has added four new faculty members to its roster, and, in 2005, a new Ph.D. in Electronic Music and Multimedia joined the long-standing graduate degree program in Ethnomusicology. We are now seeking, with the current position, an energetic and imaginative teacher and scholar who will r
einforce our Ethnomusicology program and enrich the intellectual and musical life of the Department generally.

Candidates should send a letter of application, a curriculum vitae, and three letters of recommendation to:
