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
