Northumbria University is seeking to appoint two lecturers or senior lecturers in the history and/or the performance of western art music, from 1500 to the present, to work within the Department of Humanities.

These appointments follow the appointment of Northumbria’s first Professor of Music History who will be working with the Head of Humanities to establish a programme of academic music based on high-quality research, a distinctive curriculum and partnership and outreach working within the region.

The vision for music at Northumbria is to develop a distinctive programme that draws on a core of music history and performance and strands in music and society, music pedagogy and music and management. At this stage of the project, Department seeks to appoint specialists in music and performance and/or music history. While the fields are open to specialists in a range of different areas of western art music, it would especially welcome applicants who understand how musicians have to work in the modern world. Applications are welcome from scholars with excellent records of research and teaching in any of these three areas.
