Guest Lecturer of Musicianship and/or General Studies

In alignment with the Cleveland Institute of Music’s Mission, Vision, and Institutional Learning Goals, the Institute seeks classroom faculty—including musicologists, teaching artists, and content-area specialists—to design and teach courses within the Department of Musicianship Studies and interdisciplinary courses within the Department of General Studies beginning in Fall 2026. Teaching responsibilities may include coursework in areas such as music literature, music history, musicology, critical music studies, research and scholarship, music technology, and special topics that connect music studies with performance practice and professional preparation. These positions support the implementation and continued development of CIM’s evolving curriculum, including both required coursework within the general education distribution and a growing portfolio of elective offerings established through the Institute’s 2021 general education overhaul. Central to this work is engagement with a diverse range of repertories, perspectives, and student experiences, enabling students to connect their musical training to an ever-changing cultural, artistic, and global landscape. While faculty will contribute to established offerings in both the Department of Musicianship Studies and the Department of General Studies—many of which take interdisciplinary approaches—where appropriate, these roles also provide significant opportunity to create innovative courses that connect high-level musicianship with broader inquiry in the humanities, sciences, and related fields, with an emphasis on professional relevance and preparation for the evolving demands of careers in music.
