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.
The Department of Music at the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John?s University invites applications for a full-time, three-year appointment at the rank of Visiting Assistant Professor in choral conducting and applied voice. We seek candidates who exemplify excellence in both choral and vocal pedagogy, a commitment to community building, and a strong interest in leading soprano-alto choral ensembles. An appreciation for the liberal arts learning environment is essential.
DEPARTMENT HIGHLIGHTS Accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM), the Music Department offers a Bachelor of Arts degree in music with concentrations in music education (instrumental and vocal) and a music minor. With over 450 students enrolled in applied lessons, ensembles, and music courses, the Department plays a vital role in the culture of our institutions. COLLEGE/UNIVERSITY HIGHLIGHTS The College of Saint Benedict (CSB), a liberal arts college for women, and Saint John's University (SJU), a liberal arts college for men, are located in the central lakes area of Minnesota, surrounded by more than 3,000 acres of pristine forests, prairies, and lakes. The campuses are minutes away from St. Cloud, an increasingly diverse regional center with a population of over 100,000, and 70 miles from Minneapolis and St. Paul. Some CSB/SJU faculty and staff choose to reside locally, while others commute from the Twin Cities. Both St. Cloud and the Twin Cities offer a wide range of fine arts, cultural, dining, recreational, and sporting opportunities.
CSB and SJU are Catholic colleges in the Benedictine tradition enlivened by values of community, hospitality, stewardship, and justice. The schools are dedicated to cultivating an equitable, inclusive community founded on respect for all persons. Students, staff and faculty from many diverse belief systems and backgrounds collectively bring a rich dimension to the academic, cultural, and religious experience at CSB and SJU. We welcome faculty who devote themselves with passion and integrity to their disciplines and to a transformative education of their students. Please view our brochure regarding Higher Education in the Catholic and Benedictine Tradition.
With a total enrollment of approximately 2,900 students, faculty members develop relationships with students in small classroom settings and have opportunities to work closely with students on research projects, experiential learning experiences, and study abroad programs. Recent initiatives to create a dynamic general education curriculum and to develop plans for a new teaching and learning center demonstrate strong institutional support for faculty development.
