Music School, Trinity College, Dublin New Music Tech post This is an advance, informal notification of a post that will be officially advertised soon. A full description will be sent to this and other lists (papers etc.) within a month, but in the meantime let me summarise what we're after: * ability to teach all the main elements of a music studio, such as sequencing, recording, sampling, etc. * ability to supervise composition projects to do with music technology * ability to teach popular musical styles to budding composers The courses comprise an undergraduate component in an exisitng BA in music of a fairly traditional nature (harmony, counterpoint, history, analysis), a post-graduate Diploma in Music Technology of one year leading to Master of Philosophy in a second year. The courses are all new and the lecturer will almost be starting from scratch without other lecturers in the Music School directly involved (there is, however, a close link with the Dept of Electronic and Electrical Engineering which will be overseeing some of the more scientific and theoretical courses). Therefore much will devolve on the new person to influence the development of courses, pursue finance from College or sponsors, employ part-time teaching staff, oversee the purchase and maintenance of equipment (a technician willl be on hand!), and generally lead the College's initiative to a successful outcome. The post will be for either three of four years, guaranteed by contract. If the courses are successful and the post becomes self-financing, as is envisaged, there is a good chance the post will become permanent and suitably upgraded, but Trinity College will not guarantee this at this stage. Salary will somewhere be on the first 8 points of the lecturer scale, which goes up to around Ir=A319,500 p.a. I hope the more obvious questions will be cleared up in the formal advertisement, but if there are any reactions or queries at this stage, please feel free to contact me. At present there are no formal application forms, so be patient. Any feedback concering the nature of the post, its salary level and so on, complimentary or critical, will be greatly appreciated.
