The School of Music seeks to fill the following position for September 2014: A tenure-track appointment in Reeds at the rank of Assistant Professor. Duties will include applied instruction in single reeds and possibly double reeds depending on the expertise of the successful applicant. Additional teaching responsibilities in keeping with the qualifications of the successful candidate will be required by the School.

Qualifications for the position include a doctorate in a relevant area (completed or ABD) or its equivalent in professional experience on a national or international level, demonstrated excellence as a performer on one or more reed instruments (with preference for clarinet and/or saxophone), and a record of successful teaching.

If the candidate completes all the requirements for the doctorate during the first 24 months of the term appointment, he/she shall begin a tenure-track appointment following completion of the requirements of the degree.)
