Tenure-Track Faculty Position in Music and Critical Data Studies
University of California Los Angeles

Requisition Number: JPF10207

The University of California, Los Angeles seeks to make an interdisciplinary tenure-track hire in Music and Critical Data Studies to support programs in Musicology and Music Industry. The position will be split between the Department of Musicology and the Interdepartmental Degree Program (IDP) in Music Industry, with the primary appointment residing in the Department of Musicology.

This search is not limited by region or historical period, and is sponsored by DataX, a campus-wide initiative to improve data science and critical data studies by strengthening our robust, diverse and cross-disciplinary community of scholars. The successful candidate will have a PhD in a research-oriented discipline such as, but not limited to, music studies (in its broadest sense); history of science; STS; global studies; digital humanities; critical art practice; economics; law; and/or data science.

Candidates whose work or practice brings critical intersectional perspectives to discourses around music and data (broadly construed); political, social, or environmental justice; community engaged research; or digital methods in archival research, are especially invited to apply. The department and IDP are seeking an outstanding candidate with the potential for exceptional research, excellence in teaching, and also a clear commitment to the department's connection to the community, enhancing the diversity of the faculty, graduate student population, and of the majors in both Musicology and Music Industry (understood globally).

The University of California seeks to recruit and retain a diverse workforce as a reflection of our commitment to serve the people of California; maintain the excellence of the University; and offer our students richly varied disciplines, perspectives, and ways of knowing and learning. UCLA has programs to assist in partner employment, childcare, schooling, and other family concerns.

The University of California is committed to creating and maintaining a community dedicated to the advancement, application, and transmission of knowledge and creative endeavors through academic excellence, where all individuals who participate in University programs and activities can work and learn together in a safe and secure environment, free of violence, harassment, bullying and other demeaning behavior, discrimination, exploitation, or intimidation. With this commitment as well as a commitment to addressing all forms of academic misconduct, UCLA conducts targeted employment reference checks for finalists to whom departments or other hiring units would like to extend formal offers of appointment into Academic Senate faculty positions. The targeted employment reference checks involve contacting the finalists' current and prior places of employment to ask whether there have been substantiated findings of misconduct that would violate the University's Faculty Code of Conduct. To implement this process, UCLA requires all applicants for Academic Senate faculty positions to complete, sign, and upload the form entitled 'Authorization to Release Information' into RECRUIT as part of their application. If the applicant does not include the signed authorization to release information with the application materials, the application will be considered incomplete. As with any incomplete application, the application will not receive further consideration. Although all applicants for faculty recruitments must complete the entire application, only finalists (i.e., those to whom the department or other hiring unit would like to extend a formal offer) considered for Academic Senate faculty positions will be subject to targeted employment reference checks.

To ensure full consideration, all materials must be submitted to http://recruit.apo.ucla.edu/JPF10207 by April 11, 2025.
