The Department of Music at the University of Southampton are seeking a permanent part-time (0.2 FTE, 7 hours a week) Senior or Principal Teaching Fellow in Music Performance and Pedagogy from 1 September 2022. You will join a vibrant academic community in the Department of Music at Southampton, a centre of exceptional research and teaching in musicology, ethnomusicology, performance, music therapy, composition, music technology and music business. Given the part time nature of the role you will be encouraged and supported to continue performance and/or education activities, or indeed other commitments, alongside your work at the University.

You will be a music educator of national or international standing within one or more of a range of fields such as: early years and primary settings, secondary education, 1-2-1 instrumental/vocal teaching (at a variety of levels), training youth musicians and/or community music. You may also sustain a career as a performer within any genre of music. You will draw on your own practice-based experience to help students develop, and reflect upon, their teaching and workshop delivery skills. You will likely have extensive experience of planning and delivering a curriculum of 1-2-1 instrumental or vocal music classes to students of different ages and abilities. You should have knowledge and understanding of music pedagogical models and an awareness of current music education research trends.

You will likely have experience of delivering innovative teaching within a higher education context and a willingness to work collaboratively to enrich our curriculum in ways that embody values of respect, curiosity and sustainability. You will contribute to teaching and supervision across our taught programmes, in particular on our Masters pathways in Performance and Music Education, presenting lectures, running workshops, taking seminars and delivering tutorials. Teaching responsibilities will include practical music education and performance modules as well as project supervision. You will have strong communication skills, the ability to work with others and be able to adapt to teaching approaches suitable for an effective international student learning experience. You will collaborate with others to develop, shape and innovate our music performance and music education curricula.

As a university we aim to create an environment where everyone can thrive and are proactive in fostering a culture of inclusion, respect and equality of opportunity. We particularly welcome applications from women and/or candidates from ethnic minorities who are currently under-represented in our Department.
