Are you interested in working for a vibrant Russell Group University? Are you committed to delivering an excellent student experience? Are you ready to shape a new generation of music graduates by supporting their development of cutting-edge subject knowledge and critical skills in the area of Sociocultural Music Studies?
The Department of Music is seeking to appoint an innovative and visionary academic with expertise in the field of sociocultural music studies, to consolidate and enhance the profile and breadth of our teaching and research in this area. We are looking for a scholar with expertise in qualitative research methods relevant to field work, empirical music research in various disciplines and educational research. Specialist expertise is further sought in areas related to community music and education, British Folk Music, and/or other areas of World Music.
Part time working 60%.
You will be part of a team leading, developing and delivering teaching across the Department’s undergraduate BMus in Music and postgraduate taught programmes. Your area of contribution will fall mostly under our specialism of ethnomusicology, but will also serve other specialisms such as psychology of music and music industries. You will draw on interdisciplinary knowledge and methods and take an international perspective.
You will work collaboratively with academic and Professional Service colleagues to deliver excellent teaching via a range of digital and face-to-face formats, undertake marking and administrative duties, and provide supervision for students engaged in extended independent study. You will undertake a proactive role in enhancing our reputation for high-quality and innovative teaching, and in delivering an excellent student experience at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. You will engage in an independent programme of scholarship in your field to inform the curriculum and pedagogy of our programmes. You will also provide pastoral support to students, signposting appropriate services for academic support, mental health and well-being as appropriate.
Do consider applying if you have expertise related to the broad area of sociocultural music studies, which links to ethnomusicology, education, psychology and musicology.
