An additional allowance (currently £3,155 per annum) would be made upon award of the title of Professor. A college housing allowance of £11,669 is also available. Overview of the Post The University, in association with St Catherine’s College, proposes to appoint an Associate Professor of Music with effect from 1 October 2025 or as soon as possible thereafter. This is a joint appointment: the person appointed to the Associate Professorship will also be appointed to a Tutorial Fellowship at St Catherine’s (Henfrey Fellow and Tutor in Music) and will be a member of its Governing Body and a trustee of the college. Candidates must hold a doctorate, normally in music or a closely related discipline, already awarded at the time of application. The person appointed will be required to provide not fewer than 36 hours of lectures (or equivalent teaching) per year for the Faculty of Music and to undertake examining and graduate supervision. For the College they will be expected to: a) take responsibility for the organisation, supervision, and teaching of undergraduate studies in Music at St Catherine’s College, including arrangements for admission to the subject; b) undertake up to 6 weighted hours of tutorial and small-group teaching per week for undergraduates, averaged over the three terms (twenty-four weeks) of the academic year; c) organise tutorial provision in parts of the Music degree in which the appointee does not teach; d) share in the pastoral care of undergraduate and postgraduate students studying Music; and to participate in the administration and governance of the College, including exercising the duties of a trustee as a member of the Governing Body, and serving on College committees. Applications are sought from candidates with expertise on music, music making, or aural practices of the late-twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. This expertise need not be limited to any particular musical tradition or geographic area, but preference will be given to candidates whose scholarship embraces relational methods such as ethnographic fieldwork, practice-based research, collaborative creativity, community-based participatory research, or other interactive approaches that connect academic research with lived experiences. Scholars who have a track record of using applied methods are especially encouraged to apply. We seek a creative, intellectually adventurous colleague who is eager for interdisciplinary conversation, who values a spectrum of scholarly approaches to the study of music and sound, and who can contribute to the diversity of the Faculty of Music’s current offerings. Please note that this position is not primarily intended for a composer, music technologist, or performer, although experience in composition, studio production, and/or performance may be considered additionally advantageous, as may the ability to actively engage and collaborate with current university postholders in those areas. The successful candidate will have the potential to enhance the high reputation of the Faculty of Music in research and teaching. They will have a proven record of internationally recognised scholarship and research, or the clear promise of such achievement, and will be required to provide a high standard of teaching at both undergraduate and graduate levels, including the supervision of doctoral research students. The postholder will also be expected to play a full and active role in Faculty administration and to undertake responsibilities at the Humanities Division as needed. A willingness to collaborate with related University departments or institutes is desirable. For St Catherine’s College, the postholder will be expected to deliver 6 weighted hours of tutorial (small-group) teaching per week during term with associated duties (see above), and organise tutorials as needed to be given by others. They will also prepare and mark, or arrange marking, for collections (termly college assessments to test progress), act as College advisor for postgraduate students, and play a full role in the processes for the admission of undergraduate and postgraduate students. The College duties are described in further detail below. The postholder will also need to be able to teach tutorials for the college in the following elements of the undergraduate degree:   Preliminary Examination (1st year): 1 or 2 Topics, as appropriate (3 tutorials per topic); Foundations; individual supervision of Extended Essay. Final Honour School (2nd and 3rd years): 1-3 Topics, as appropriate (4 tutorials per topic); Musical Thought and Scholarship; Music Analysis and Criticism (both MAC and MTS are taught through second and third year and shared with other tutors according to expertise); individual supervision of Dissertation, Ethnography, and/or Analysis Portfolio. Other tutorial teaching will be based on the postholder’s area(s) of expertise. The Faculty of Music is the holder of an Athena Swan Bronze Award. We particularly encourage applications from women and black and ethnic minority candidates, who are under-represented in senior academic positions at the University of Oxford. Candidates wishing to have an informal discussion about the post may contact the Head of Administration and Finance in the Faculty of Music, Andrea Jones (andrea.jones@music.ox.ac.uk), or the Academic Registrar at St Catherine’s (academic.registrar@stcatz.ox.ac.uk). All enquiries will be treated in strict confidence and will not form part of the selection decision. 2 The Role of Associate Professor at Oxford Associate Professor is the main academic career grade at Oxford with a focus on research and teaching, spanning the full range of professor grades in the USA. Associate Professors are appointed jointly by an Oxford University department/faculty and an Oxford college, and you will have a contract with both. Associate Professors are, simultaneously, full members of University faculties and college governing bodies, playing a role in the democratic governance of the University and their college. You will join a lively, intellectually stimulating and multi-disciplinary community which performs to the highest international standards in research and teaching, with extraordinary levels of innovation, creativity, and entrepreneurship. There is considerable flexibility in the organisation of duties, with three 8-week undergraduate teaching terms and generous sabbatical leave to balance teaching and research (please see the Benefits, Terms and Conditions section below for further details of sabbatical leave). There is the potential for temporary changes to the balance of duties between College and University to enable a focus on different aspects of work at different stages in your career. Oxford offers many opportunities for professional development in research and teaching. Associate Professors may apply for the title of Full Professor in annual exercises. If the title is conferred, you will also have access to professorial merit pay opportunities. In exceptional cases, the title of Full Professor may be awarded on appointment. Appointments are confirmed as permanent on successful completion of a review during the first five years. The vast majority of Associate Professors successfully complete this initial review. Duties of the Post The Associate Professor or Professor will be a member of both St Catherine’s College and the wider University of Oxford community. They will be part of a lively and intellectually stimulating research community and will have access to the excellent research facilities which Oxford offers. They will have a role to play in the governance of the College as a member of the Governing Body and as a trustee of the College (Oxford colleges are charities and are subject to the rules set by the Charity Commission for England and Wales). Faculty Duties (a) Under the direction of the Board of the Faculty of Music, to give the equivalent of 36 hours of lectures in each academic year, by contributing, as appropriate and in consultation with the Director of Undergraduate Studies, to taught courses for Prelims (first-year undergraduate examinations), Final Honour School (second- and third-year undergraduate course), and for the postgraduate MSt (Master of Studies). The postholder will be expected to offer courses and supervise undergraduate and postgraduate dissertations and theses on a range of topics. (b) To engage in advanced study and research (at an internationally recognised level) in areas of music studies within their expertise; (c) To promote the musical and intellectual life of the Faculty; (d) To take part in University examining; (e) To supervise master’s and doctoral research students as requested; (f) To co-operate in the administrative work of the Faculty of Music in both term and vacation under the direction of the Chair of the Faculty Board. 3 As described below, the teaching obligation for the College will be 6 weighted hours per week during full term. No formal limitation is placed on examining or other work, but it is expected that the total commitments of Associate Professors and their college demands on them will be managed so that time will be available to pursue independent research (see below). Undergraduate Lecturing and Teaching The person appointed will be expected to make a full contribution to teaching in both the Faculty and the College. The Faculty aims to admit around 70 new undergraduates each year to read for the BA in Music. Faculty teaching consists principally of lectures and seminars, supported by occasional workshops and masterclasses. Postholders are encouraged to develop their teaching in relation to their research. Oxford is fortunate in being able to recruit high-quality, motivated undergraduates who respond enthusiastically to a broad and challenging syllabus, and who are extremely rewarding to teach. Graduate Teaching and Supervision The person appointed will be expected to play an active role in the graduate environment of the Faculty. The Faculty admits approximately 25–30 master’s students each year, plus approximately 9–12 doctoral research students, from a large and international body of applicants. It runs a one-year taught Master of Studies (MSt) programme with pathways in musicology, composition, and performance, as well as MPhil and DPhil research degrees. The MPhil also allows for specialisation in composition, performance, and musicology, while the DPhil caters for a wide variety of types of musical scholarship, as well as a wide variety of compositional approaches (we do not offer a DPhil in performance). Teaching on the MSt is delivered through a programme of seminars across the first two terms, accompanied by one-to-one supervision for coursework, and for dissertations and composition portfolios. The Faculty also provides a series of specialist research training seminars and encourages DPhil students to take up opportunities for training in tutoring and other teaching. Research students are typically supervised by a single member of the Faculty (although joint supervision arrangements sometimes also exist). The vast majority study full time over three to four years, though part-time provision for a limited number of students is also available. The Faculty is also part of a joint programme with the Saïd Business School offering a two-year programme of study (a one-year MSt, followed by a one-year MBA). Research Activity The person appointed will be expected to play a full part in Faculty research activity, which includes: • • • • • maintaining an active programme of individual research and scholarly publications; developing research projects and seeking external funding to support them; collaborating with other scholars, within or outside the University, in research and dissemination (including, for instance, editing journals and series); participating in, and organising, University research seminars; attending research conferences, organising conferences, and giving papers. This is intended as a general guide to research activity; the Faculty Board recognises that newly appointed staff, especially those earlier in their careers, may not be able to achieve all of these goals immediately. The Board offers a range of support for research, including: • • • a mentoring scheme in which a more established member of the Faculty gives guidance on teaching and research; regular research leave (all academic appointments at Oxford have a sabbatical leave entitlement that equates to one term of leave for every six terms of service); financial support for research expenses and conference attendance; 4 • • • teaching relief for particular research needs; equipment for research staff; IT equipment and resources. Opportunities for research are enhanced by grants for research visits and assistance for conference attendance offered by the Music Faculty Board. In addition, the University has funds to support pilot projects and other research schemes. The Humanities Division supports a team of research facilitators whose role is to assist academic staff in developing projects and applying for external funding. The Faculty has a generous policy with regard to externally funded research leave and research fellowships and encourages applications to major funding bodies. The Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities (TORCH: https://torch.ox.ac.uk) and the Humanities Cultural Programme (https://www.torch.ox.ac.uk/humanities-cultural-programme) for the new Stephen A. Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities (https://www.schwarzmancentre.ox.ac.uk) are also active in supporting interdisciplinary programmes of research and knowledge exchange. Oxford’s libraries offer unrivalled facilities for both teaching and research. The Bodleian Library, with its 11 million volumes and priceless early book and manuscript collections, is a library of legal deposit and so receives all UK publications. In addition, the Music Faculty Library has very considerable book, score, audio, and electronic resources, and many college libraries also have collections with considerable research value. There are extensive online resources and excellent support is available from the Oxford University IT Service. The Music Faculty has a variety of specialist research resources, including Disklavier computer-monitored pianos, electronic music studios, the Bate Collection of Musical Instruments and a gamelan. College Duties As the Henfrey Fellow and Tutor in Music at St Catherine’s College, the person appointed will take the lead in organizing and teaching St Catherine’s undergraduate Music students throughout the three-year course. The College currently admits around 4 undergraduate students in each year to read Music at St Catherine’s College. The teaching duties of a college Tutor are as follows: (a) To take responsibility for the organisation, supervision, and teaching of undergraduate studies in Music at St Catherine’s College, which will include monitoring students’ progress, coordinating, setting, and marking collections (termly College assessments), attending student progress meetings with the Head of House, and organising tutorial teaching by specialist colleagues in other colleges; (b) To undertake for the College up to 6 hours (weighted1) of tutorial and small group teaching per week averaged over the three terms (twenty-four weeks) of the academic year, and to provide timely feedback on students’ work and produce termly progress reports. The successful candidate would be expected to teach some compulsory papers for both Music undergraduate Prelims (year 1) and Final Honour School (years 2 and 3), as well as some optional papers. The postholder will Tutorial hours for this post operate on a weighting system, whereby one contact hour with one student counts as one hour, one contact hour with a pair of students as 1.25 hours, one contact hour with a group of 3 counts as 1.5 hours and so on. Accordingly, the 6 weighted hours will usually be accomplished in 4 or 5 hours of tutorials. 1 5 also be expected to advise and guide on the formulation of undergraduate research projects and supervise such projects, where appropriate; (c) To take responsibility for all student admissions to the subject (undergraduate and postgraduate). For undergraduates this will include reading written work, assessing auditions, and interviewing in the December admissions period (training is required and will be provided), and involvement in outreach and recruitment activities including College Open Days; (d) To act as Director of Studies and to take responsibility for the provision of pastoral care for St Catherine’s College undergraduates reading Music, liaising with other members of the College community with responsibility for student welfare; (e) To act as College Adviser to the College’s postgraduate students in Music and related subjects (note that advising postgraduate students is a pastoral role distinct from the supervision of postgraduates, which is organised separately by the Faculty); (f) To participate in the administration and governance of the College, which includes exercising the duties of a trustee as a member of the Governing Body, attending meetings of the Governing Body (typically three per term), serving on College Committees, taking an appropriate share in the administrative work, and on occasion taking on College offices (leadership roles); (g) To engage in advanced study and research; (h) To contribute to the intellectual life, and academic and musical activities of the College, including through attendance at, and participation in, college events. 6 Selection Criteria Your application will be judged only against the criteria which are set out below.

Offer of employment Applications for this post will be considered by a selection committee containing representatives from both the Faculty of Music and St Catherine’s College. The selection committee is responsible for conducting all aspects of the recruitment and selection process; it does not, however, have the authority to make the final decision as to who should be appointed. The final decision will be made by the Humanities Division and by Governing Body of St Catherine’s College on the basis of a recommendation made by the selection committee. No offer of appointment will be valid, therefore, until and unless the recommendation has been approved by both the divisional board and the governing body, and a formal contractual offer has been made. 14

Past vacancies at the University of Oxford
Salary Range: Combined University and College salary: £55,755–£74,867 per annum. An additional allowance (currently £3,155 per annum) would be made upon award of the title of Professor. A college housing allowance of £11,669 is also available The University, in association with St Catherine’s College, proposes to appoint an Associate Professor of Music with effect from 1 October 2025 or as soon as possible thereafter. This is a joint appointment: the person appointed to the Associate Professorship will also be appointed to a Tutorial Fellowship at St Catherine’s (Henfrey Fellow and Tutor in Music) and will be a member of its Governing Body and a trustee of the college. Candidates must hold a doctorate, normally in music or a closely related discipline, already awarded at the time of application. The successful candidate will have the potential to enhance the high reputation of the Faculty of Music in research and teaching. They will have a proven record of internationally recognised scholarship and research, or the clear promise of such achievement, and will be required to provide a high standard of teaching at both undergraduate and graduate levels, including the supervision of doctoral research students. Applications are sought from candidates with expertise on music, music making, or aural practices of the late-twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. This expertise need not be limited to any particular musical tradition or geographic area, but preference will be given to candidates whose scholarship embraces relational methods such as ethnographic fieldwork, practice-based research, collaborative creativity, community-based participatory research, or other interactive approaches that connect academic research with lived experiences. Scholars who have a track record of using applied methods are especially encouraged to apply. Applications are particularly welcome from women and black and minority ethnic candidates, who are under-represented in academic posts in Oxford. All applicants will be judged on merit, according to the selection criteria. Candidates wishing to have an informal discussion about the post may contact the Head of Administration and Finance in the Faculty of Music, Andrea Jones ( andrea.jones@music.ox.ac.uk), or the Academic Registrar at St Catherine’s ( academic.registrar@stcatz.ox.ac.uk). All enquiries will be treated in strict confidence and will not form part of the selection decision. Only applications received before 12 noon on Friday 17 January 2025 can be considered. Interviews are expected to be held in February 2025.
