The Post
The University of Glasgow is seeking to appoint a Lecturer in Music to
the Department of Music, to offer courses in the degrees of BMus, MA and
BEng.
You will possess a doctorate and a good record of public output within
the terms of reference for Music of the 2001 Research Assessment
Exercise, and will be expected to contribute to interdisciplinary
research projects of the Centre for Music Technology operated by the
departments of Music and Electrical Engineering. Details of the other
essential and desirable qualifications are as follows:
(i) Research within the field of C&IT in music and music information,
including creation, production, dissemination, analysis (e.g.
performance studies). An interest in recent developments in music theory
and analysis would be an advantage.
(ii) Teaching: possible areas of teaching expertise include Acoustics,
Studio Techniques, Synthesis, Audio Programming, MIDI, Live Performance
of Computer Music, as well as an ability to teach a variety of general
introductory courses (this list is not exclusive).
(iii) Administration: the successful candidate will be expected from
time to time to assist the Head of Department and other colleagues with
administrative duties, such as convening courses, equipment acquisition,
research funding applications and student admissions.
Glasgow provides an excellent cultural base for the Department's
interests and activities, as it is one of the principal centres for
music in the UK. With respect to media, Glasgow is the base for BBC
Scotland and Scottish Television, and is home to the Royal Scottish
National Orchestra, the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, Scottish Opera
and Scottish Ballet, and many other bodies dedicated to the performance
and dissemination of music. The Scottish Chamber Orchestra performs
regularly in Glasgow, and there are many excellent choirs, chamber
ensembles, and soloists located in the city. The professional community
associated with these institutions forms a very important resource base
for the
Department's teaching and public output.

The Post
The University of Glasgow is seeking to appoint a Systems and Software
Support Manager specializing in computer-based Music Applications, in
areas such as Composition, Performance and Music Information. This post
involves taking responsibility for the operation and maintenance of the
Music Department's computing facilities, liaising with the Senior
Technical Programmer in Music Technology (whose primary responsibility
is for the Department's professional audio and audio-visual equipment),
giving support to a growing community of student, academic and
professional users and proposing lines of development to realize the
academic and IT objectives of the Faculty of Arts, the Department of
Music and the Centre for Music Technology. There will also be
opportunities to contribute to teaching, both in terms of training users
in applications use and of modules within academic courses. It is
expected that the successful candidate will contribute to the growing
research effort in the field of music technology and computer music.
In addition to these activities, liaison with the Humanities Advanced

Director of the Computer Music Studios, with formal line management
