The School of Music in the Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts at Arizona State University seeks an exceptional artist-scholar in the area of music composition for a full-time tenure-track appointment at the assistant professor level beginning fall 2014.
Arizona State University’s model for the New American University dissolves the barriers between disciplines and fosters collaboration among diverse units. ASU is a place where local solutions have a global impact. More than 72,000 students and 2,800 faculty make ASU their academic home in the metropolitan Phoenix area – the nation’s fifth largest city. ASU champions intellectual and cultural diversity, welcoming students from all fifty states and more than a hundred nations across the globe.
The Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts is a vibrant example of the philosophy of a New American University. The institute is built on a combination of disciplines unlike any other program in the nation. In addition to the School of Music, the Herberger Institute comprises The Design School; the schools of Art; Film, Dance and Theatre; Arts, Media + Engineering; and the ASU Art Museum. The institute offers cross-disciplinary programs in socially engaged practice and arts entrepreneurship and is part of a university community comprising five differentiated campuses, each positively impacting the economic, social, cultural and environmental health of the communities it serves.
Located in one of the most expansive metropolitan centers in the United States and situated in the Sonoran desert, the ASU School of Music supports a broad range of inquiry. Programs within the School of Music lead to the degrees of Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Music; Bachelor of Music (BM) in Music with concentrations in music performance, jazz studies, music theatre, music education, music theory and composition, music therapy as well as two minors in music studies and music performance; Master of Arts (MA) in Music with concentrations in ethnomusicology or music history and literature; and Master of Music (MM) in composition, conducting, music education, music performance, performance pedagogy and music therapy. In addition, the school offers a Doctor of Musical Arts (DMA) in composition, conducting and performance and the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) with a concentration in music education. With one of the largest comprehensive music programs in a public research university in the United States, the ASU School of Music plays a prominent role within the Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts and is located on the ASU Tempe campus.
