The ideal candidate is an accomplished teacher-scholar with a collaborative mindset and a commitment to student-centered, inclusive music teaching and advising. An earned doctorate in music education is preferred; ABD will be considered. A minimum of 3 years full-time teaching in K-12 schools, or commensurate experience, is required. Current faculty and administration share an ethic of collegial responsibility and mutual care, so this new hire will receive solid mentoring, professional development, and support.

The successful candidate will teach undergraduate and graduate courses in music education, supervise graduate student research and student teachers, and assist in undergraduate student advising with other teaching and service duties as assigned.
The College of Arts & Architecture is working to establish a culture of anti-racism and anti-oppression that embraces individual identities, fosters a culture of inclusion, and promotes equity through curricula, values, standards, ideals, policies, and practices. The ideal candidate will provide evidence of their experience with, and interest in, contributing to these goals.
Evidence of equitable considerations, awareness, and practice with regard to twenty-first century curricula development, inclusive practices in educating diverse student bodies and working with a diverse faculty and staff, along with evidence of working collectively to cultivate a culture that supports success and enables all members of a college community to thrive.
Address in your cover letter how equity, diversity, inclusion and belonging relate to your research, creative activity, and/or service experience.
