The Department of Music at the Mason Gross School of the Arts, Rutgers University, invites experienced Artist/Teachers to apply for a tenure-track faculty position in Voice at the rank of Assistant Professor. A tenor is preferred, but all voice types will be considered. Applicants must possess a significant national and international performing record and successful teaching experience. Also required is a demonstrated commitment to: equity, diversity, and inclusion; effective applied instruction; mentoring students in their professional development; and recruitment of high-caliber voice students. Voice artists who are experienced with both classical music and musical theater, jazz, or other contemporary styles are especially encouraged to apply.

The successful candidate will maintain a high degree of visibility in the profession. Teaching responsibilities include studio voice for undergraduate performance and music education majors as well as master's and doctoral students in performance degrees. Courses in diction, pedagogy or song literature may also be part of the candidate's teaching responsibilities, depending on their strengths and expertise. Participation on departmental, school, and/or university committees is expected.

A doctoral degree in voice performance or comparable professional experience is required. Preference will be given to applicants with university teaching experience (undergraduate through graduate and professional-level singers). Broad knowledge of both classical vocal repertoire and contemporary styles and genres is preferred. Fluency in Italian, French, or German is desirable. The music department places a high value on collegial relationships, and as such, strong interpersonal skills are expected.
