Binghamton University seeks applicants for a full-time lecturer in the Theatre Department to serve the university's musical theatre BFA program for an appointment of up to three years, with the possibility of renewal, beginning August 16, 2027. The ideal candidate will have distinction and a firm foundation as a voice teacher, vocal pedagogue, and/or musical theatre performer/teaching artist.

This position will teach musicianship, studio voice lessons, vocal technique, and music skills to musical theatre students. This requires an effective vocal technician invested in the success of their students through teaching healthy, sustainable, voice scientifically informed technique and the ability to connect with students from a variety of racial, ethnic, cultural, and gender identities. The ideal candidate will possess both the patience and creativity to work with students new to vocal study, as well as the high standards and expertise to continue pushing students who are further along in their vocal development.

Beyond the voice studio, this position will attend occasional rehearsals, teach or co-teach regular workshops as part of a weekly seminar series, teach musicianship courses for musical theatre majors covering the continued development of sight-singing, ear training, arrangement, piano, and other music skills.

• Empowering all gender identities and expressions
• Providing students with objective, supportive critique and actionable feedback across many musical styles relevant to the current musical theatre landscape
• A commitment to the collaborative process, including with students, colleagues, and other artistic team members

The ideal candidate will be an artist whose teaching, creative activity, and professional experience will contribute to the diversity, equity, access, and inclusivity goals of the Department of Theatre and seek to address questions of interest to historically under-represented or underserved communities. Their teaching should support and enhance the Department's offerings by increasing its range, depth, and diversity of curriculum.
