Teaching Associate in Conducting (Part-Time, FTC)

The Department of Music at the University of Nottingham is looking to appoint a Teaching Associate in Conducting.

You will have a postgraduate qualification in Music and an emerging or established career as a conductor nationally and/or internationally. You will have an advanced and wide-ranging knowledge of conducting diverse ensembles. You will have previous experience teaching conducting at HE level and experience of assessment at HE level.

Your primary duties will include delivering the teaching and assessment of one undergraduate module: Conducting (Level 2).

You will contribute to an exceptional education for undergraduates in music and make an exceptional contribution to the Department’s teaching profile and culture. You will be keen to pursue opportunities for teaching development, impact, public engagement, and/or interdisciplinary work. You will offer pastoral support to students as a Personal Tutor and be keen on championing and promoting Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion initiatives. You may be assigned administrative duties to support the teaching work of the Department.

We believe in an inclusive working environment for all. We are welcoming, supportive, and caring, and pride ourselves on our positive community. Diversity is vital to our success and fundamental to our values. We are, therefore, particularly keen to receive applications from people who are currently underrepresented as conductors in the music industry, such as those of underrepresented genders (e.g., women, non-binary, trans) and people from Black, Asian or minority ethnic backgrounds.

Shortlisting is anonymous: we cannot see any personal data or the ‘Additional Information’ section in your application until shortlisting is completed. Shortlisting is by criteria-based questions based on the person specification, rather than CV or letter.

As a Teaching Associate you will be expected to:

Deliver innovative teaching
Contribute positively and proactively to the Department’s teaching culture.
Assess Undergraduate students in music.
Take a proactive role in the pastoral support of students, dealing with sensitive issues.
Be responsible for administrative duties.
