The University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) Department of Music invites applications for an adjunct (part-time) instrumental music education faculty member specializing in strings—specifically in teaching violin, viola, cello, bass in school ensemble and community contexts. We are seeking an individual who will teach string methods classes across the year as follows:

- String Methods 1—meets once a week for 50 minute sessions during the Fall 2024 semester

- String Methods 2—meets once a week for 50 minute sessions during the Spring 2025 semester

Courses provide first and second year instrumental music education students with foundations of string methods in the context of building music literacy skills through performing, responding, creating, and connecting. Candidates who have experience employing culturally responsive approaches, teaching music from aural and notated traditions, and/or integrating musical, social-emotional, and social justice learning goals are strongly encouraged to apply.

Applicants must hold a Master’s degree. The UMBC Music Department is particularly interested in receiving applications from individuals who are members of groups that historically have been underrepresented in the professoriate. Interested candidates should submit the following materials to Prof. Brian Kaufman (brian.kaufman@umbc.edu) by Monday May 6, 2024:

1. Resume/CV (attachment)

2. Three references with contact information (no letters at this time please)

Don't meet every single qualification? At UMBC, we are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive, and authentic workplace, so if you're excited about this role but your past experience doesn't align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles. We would also be happy to address any questions you might have about the application process. For questions, please contact Professor Brian Kaufman, Department of Music: brian.kaufman@umbc.edu.

This Monday, April 29th, from 3 - 5 PM, the PreMedical Advising Office is hosting University of Maryland School of Medicine. Dr. Sandra Quezada, Associate Dean for Medical School Admissions, will be present. Following the panel discussion of Ethics and Integrity, Dr. Quezada, along with other faculty will be present for an admissions presentation. There will also be a UMBC alumni present, so this is a great opportunity to have direct contact with representatives from a school most likely already on your lists. You must register for this event here.

From the PreMed Advising Office:

Few career fields have as significant an impact on vulnerable populations as the field of healthcare. With such tremendous responsibility, it's essential that future healthcare providers develop a strong ethical foundation during their undergraduate career. How does one develop this foundation as well as the integrity to employ an ethical framework during difficult situations? This panel aims to explore this question and others on Monday, April 29th, 3-3:45pm in UC 115.

 

Join Jeff Cullen Director, Student Conduct and Community Standards; Amanda Knapp Associate Vice Provost and Dean, Academic Success Center; Greg Ealick Lecturer, Department of Philosophy; and Sandra Quezada Associate Dean for Medical School Admissions, University of Maryland School of Medicine to learn more about this critical component of preparation for a career in healthcare.

Pre-Medical Students: Stay after the panel for an admissions presentation by University of Maryland School of Medicine, with a special UMBC alum guest! The admissions presentation will take place 4:00-5:00pm in UC 115.

Best,
