The University of Southampton seeks to appoint a full-time Lecturer in Music who will specialise in the place of music in contemporary culture. The appointee will have a PhD (completed or recently submitted) in musicology, ethnomusicology, or the sociology of music, and a proven track record of publication. Knowledge and experience of social science methods and approaches is desirable, and an ability to teach undergraduate modules in jazz, world and/or popular music topics, and to supervise postgraduate research in these areas, will be an advantage. You will have a strong intellectual grasp of the principal issues affecting contemporary musical life, straddling the boundaries between creation, performance, and academic study, and between music and other disciplines. You will be able to communicate your views enthusiastically to a broad undergraduate and postgraduate student body, and to produce notable new research relating to the whole field of music in contemporary culture. The appointment to this permanent position will be made in the salary range £27,428 to £44,016, depending on qualifications and experience, to begin on 1 September 2012.
