Job Description:

The Syracuse University Department of Drama seeks to hire two positions in Musical Theater Performance at the Assistant or Associate level for tenure-track appointments beginning in Fall 2020. The positions will primarily teach all levels of musical theater performance (acting the song) and will also direct, music direct, or choreograph productions for the department. Additional expertise in related areas (particularly, diverse genres and styles as applied to musical theater) is desirable. Successful candidates will demonstrate the ability and willingness to collaborate with Musical Theater Program faculty in the development of a curriculum that builds on a strong existing foundation and responds effectively to the artistic needs of an ever-changing profession. The department is interested in candidates whose teaching, creative activity, and/or professional experience will contribute to the understanding of diversity and equity, or which addresses questions of interest to historically under-represented or underserved communities. Continued professional creative work and/or research, as well as service and committee work for the Department, the College of Visual and Performing Arts, and the University is expected.
