This is a tenure-track position. A reduced load (2-2 for the first two years) is provided to allow the new hire to focus on research/creative output in music or closely related area. Duties also include teaching applied studio lessons, mentoring students, coaching ensembles, supporting the music program with recruitment, and collaborating with faculty for recitals and special events. This position requires face-to-face interactions through a regular schedule of attendance on campus and in the workplace.

We offer competitive salaries and a benefits package including health insurance, retirement benefits, and life insurance. Additional pay is available for summer teaching. Financial support for professional development opportunities, such as attending academic conferences, is also provided. Moving expenses are covered in whole or in part by the university.
