Description
The Knoxville campus of the University of Tennessee seeks candidates who have the ability to promote an atmosphere where all members of the university community feel welcome and can thrive.
The Natalie L. Haslam College of Music invites applications for a 9-month tenure-track position at the Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor level in Music, Science, and Health. This is a rare and forward-looking appointment designed for a scholar-teacher who believes that a fuller understanding of music — how we hear it, perform it, feel it, analyze it, and create it — is enriched by understanding the human brain, human behavior, and the science behind how we interact with the art of music and human health.
The successful candidate will occupy a distinctive role at the intersection of music, medicine and health, neuroscience, psychology, cognitive science, or other theoretical and applied sciences, contributing to both the core curriculum of the College and to an emerging cross-disciplinary research culture. The candidate will work in the Natalie L. Haslam College of Music with potential for collaboration with other colleges, and relevant health organizations.The successful candidate is expected to have either existing or strong potential for obtaining extramural funding.
Teaching Responsibilities may include:
Core lab-sequence instruction in music integrated with perspectives from the natural or social sciences appropriate to the candidate's expertise
Seminars in areas such as music and health, music perception and psychoacoustics, the neuroscience of musical experience, and other topics relevant to the candidate’s field
Student mentorship and research supervision in the candidate’s core field and related interdisciplinary fields
Online course development and delivery, with interest in expanding the College's reach into digital learning environments
Research Profile
We seek a candidate with an active research agenda that intersects with one or more of the following areas:
