The Department of Music at UMBC seeks a Visiting Lecturer of Choral Conducting and Music Education for the 2023-2024 academic year, to begin August 2023. This individual will be responsible for conducting the Camerata Concert Choir and teaching undergraduate courses in choral music education with additional teaching responsibilities in conducting and/or vocal pedagogy.

The complete application package must include: a letter of interest including a detailed statement of qualifications, a current CV, dated links for up to 3 video excerpts totaling no more than 30 minutes of material demonstrating choral conducting skills (diverse contexts welcome), a separate statement with examples addressing their capacity to respond in pedagogically productive ways to the learning needs of students from diverse backgrounds and three reference contacts. Additional materials may be requested later. Those with experience employing culturally responsive approaches or integrating musical, social-emotional, or social justice learning goals are encouraged to highlight that in their materials.
UMBC, an Equal Opportunity / Affirmative Action Employer, is especially proud of the diversity of its student body and we seek to attract an equally diverse applicant pool for this position. We have a strong commitment to increasing faculty diversity and are particularly interested in receiving applications from individuals who are members of groups that historically have been underrepresented in the professoriate.
