Part-Time Position in African Traditional Performing Arts Instructor
The Department of Music at Tufts University announces a part-time position as an undergraduate instructor of African traditional performing arts (primarily song, instrumental music, and dance) to teach performance ensemble courses that culminate in performances by students. We seek an expert teacher/performer of African traditional performing arts with extensive familiarity with the perspectives of born-in-the-tradition culture-bearers. Excellence in performance and teaching of performance is required. Experience in teaching and performing with beginning students in the African traditional performing arts is preferred. The successful candidate must show promise for successful collaboration with members of the full-time, tenured-track faculty of the Music Department, particularly those whose area of expertise is the ethnomusicological study of traditional African performance arts from Ghana.
Review of applications begins February 5, 2010 and continues until the position is filled. Please send a cover letter, CV, three letters of recommendation, and documentation of recent performances (such as audio or video recordings, program notes or other writings) to African Traditional Performing Arts Search, Department of Music, Perry and Marty Granoff Music Center, Tufts University, 20 Talbot Avenue, Medford, MA, 02155.
