      An opportunity exists for a Lecturer/Senior Lecturer in Music to teach into
      the curriculum for the Western Civilisation Major. A significant part of
      this teaching will include the development and delivery of a course on the
      integral role of music in the development of Western cultures from
      antiquity to the present time, not only in relation to how music is an
      artefact of those cultures but also acts as an agent of change within them.
      The successful candidate will also contribute modules to other courses in
      the Western Civilisation major according to their expertise and interests.
      The Western Civilisation Major attracts students from a broad range of
      backgrounds and with varying levels of prior musical training.

      The Western Civilisation major is an interdisciplinary sequence of courses
      developed by academic staff at The University of Queensland. Taught in
      small seminars of approximately 10 students, these courses follow a ‘great
      books’ format and are designed to encourage close reading and critical
      reflection. As part of the Western Civilisation faculty, you will join an
      enthusiastic, collaborative teaching team that prioritises student
      experience and intellectual rigour. Teaching in this major will bring you
      into contact with some of the brightest and most engaged students that The
      University of Queensland has to offer.

      We welcome applications from individuals who demonstrate expert knowledge
      in an area of musicology. The position is open to candidates from any
      relevant disciplinary background. We value diversity and inclusion, and actively
      encourage applications from those who bring diversity to the University.

      Hi Denis,

      I saw this and am definitely going to apply! It would be a dream job. It would be great to meet sometime after Christmas so I could ask you some general advice about the application process.

      All best and have a great Christmas and New Years,
      Nick
