APAP believes that pay transparency is a critical step toward pay equity and benefits both the job seeker and the employer. For those reasons, we are now requiring that employers include a salary range in all new job postings.
Postings that are backfilled from another association’s career center may not include salary information.

Job Summary:
The Conservatory of Music at Oberlin College invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track faculty position at the level of Assistant Professor in Music Theory and Aural Skills, beginning with the 2025-2026 academic year.
The Division of Music Theory is especially interested in qualified candidates who can contribute through their teaching, research, and/or service to the diversity and excellence of our academic and musical community.
We encourage applications from candidates who will bring a fresh perspective to our existing courses and whose expertise encompasses a broad range of repertoires and methodologies. We also encourage applications from previous applicants.
Responsibilities:
Faculty members teach six full courses per year, with no more than two preps per semester. Teaching responsibilities include music theory courses in a recently redesigned two-year core curriculum, aural skills, upper-division seminars assigned according to faculty interests, and courses targeting music majors and non-majors from the college of arts and sciences. Class sizes typically range from twelve to twenty students. Candidates whose courses could contribute to one of Oberlin's integrated concentrations and/or interdisciplinary minors (improvisation, African American music, music and cognition, music and popular culture, interdisciplinary performance, arts and creative technologies, public humanities, arts administration and leadership) are encouraged to highlight relevant expertise in their cover letter.
Faculty members are also expected to advise a diverse population of students, participate fully in divisional and conservatory meetings, administer departmental placement examinations, contribute to curricular innovations, and serve on curricular and faculty governance committees.
Required qualifications:
Candidates must demonstrate potential for successful undergraduate teaching, evidence of ongoing scholarly productivity in the field of music theory, keyboard competence, and accomplished musicianship. One or more years of full-time teaching experience (beyond the graduate assistant level) is preferred, as is a background in performance or composition. The Ph.D. degree in music theory by May 2025 (or the equivalent professional experience) is required.
Compensation:
Oberlin College offers a competitive compensation package with excellent benefits.
Special instructions to applicant:
Submit a cover letter, CV, transcripts (official or unofficial) and a list of three references; letters of recommendation will be solicited at a later stage of the hiring process.
