Position of Associate Professor in Musicology (3 years fixed term) at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Trondheim
Deadline: 15.09.2022
The Department of Music invites applications for the position of a fixed-term Associate Professor in musicology/music history. Additional information about the Department can be found at http://www.ntnu.no/musikk.
The Department’s Musicology Programme has a broadly-defined core profile with staff strengths in historical musicology, ethnomusicology, popular music and jazz studies, music-in-media studies, cultural musicology, composition and arranging, cultural studies, as well as music and learning. Both the B.A. and M.A. programmes in musicology additionally include strong emphases on instrumental and vocal performance, human musicality, and the use of music technology.
Within this framework, the appointed candidate will ideally contribute to a range of important strategic goals for both the Musicology programme in particular, and the Department as a whole. These goals include: increased programme, pedagogical, and research cooperation between and across the programmes of the Department, and strengthening and broadening the pedagogical, subject, and research activities. This includes contributions to the Department's national cultural mission (samfunnsoppdrag) of providing students with a diverse musicology- and research-based educational foundation (from the B.A. to Ph.D. levels) as preparation for a range of music- and culture-related, private- and public-sector professional careers. In addition, the appointed candidate is expected to contribute to strengthening the department's efforts to internationalize staff research activities and professional networks, and to strengthen our role in both national and Nordic cooperation in research training.
