Music Education Faculty - Temporary  | I02447

The Music Department at Slippery Rock University invites applications for a dynamic and experienced public‑school music educator with expertise in instrumental pedagogy. We seek a teacher who values both traditional ensemble‑based instruction and contemporary approaches such as Modern Band, music technology, informal learning, and culturally diverse practices. The successful candidate will bring practical classroom experience, creativity, and a commitment to preparing future music educators through innovative pedagogy, mentorship, and community engagement.

We seek a colleague who values collaboration (especially between instrumental and vocal music), inclusivity, and musical diversity, and who will help our students thrive as reflective, adaptable, resourceful, and compassionate educators.

Slippery Rock University is by far one of the most successful and enviable institutions in the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE). With stable enrollments, strong programs, as well as a unionized and collaborative faculty, we enroll some 8600 students, and the Department of Music is one of the largest of those within the College of Liberal Arts. Located in a rural small town just an hour north of Pittsburgh, our campus is safe, inviting, and blessed with up‑to‑date facilities that enrich our programs and help us sustain our high student retention and graduation rates.

Our four nationally‑accredited programs in the fine and performing arts collectively have one of the highest enrollments in the entire institution, and within the past five years, we opened newly‑renovated facilities for the performing arts that help boost opportunities for students as well as our record of robust success.
