Part-Time Instructor: “Musicianship V” Job

The Musicianship Department of the Mary Pappert School of Music at Duquesne
University in Pittsburgh, PA seeks a qualified part-time instructor to teach one section of
our musicology and music history course for undergraduate music majors entitled
“Musicianship V” in Fall 2025 (4 credits) and an advanced elective course for
upper-level undergraduate music majors and master’s-level performance majors in Spring
2026 (2 credits). The section of Musicianship V meets on campus on Tuesdays and Thursdays
from 9:25-10:40 am and Wednesdays from 9-9:50 am. The curriculum is determined by our lead
instructor and covers music from the medieval period until 1800 in Europe and the Americas.
The advanced elective course also meets on campus and may be on any musicology/music history
topic that would engage our students and plays to the instructor’s strengths.
Scheduling for the elective is more flexible but must still fit within our school’s
designated time slots for such courses. The ideal candidate would have an energetic and
engaging classroom presence, a deep commitment to teamwork and collaboration, prior
experience in higher education teaching musicology/music history courses for music majors,
and a creative and thoughtful approach to teaching. Interested parties should send a CV and
a brief description of qualifications to Dr. Benjamin Binder, Chair of the Musicianship
Department, at binderb -at- duq.edu. Review of materials will begin immediately and continue
until the position is filled.
