Lecturer in Music - Horn

Description

The Department of Music at the University of Virginia seeks applications for a Lecturer in Music with a specialization in Horn. An initial three‑year appointment begins on August 10, 2026, with subsequent reviews occurring on a three‑year cycle. This is a half‑time, benefits‑eligible, tenure‑ineligible position, with duties to include performing as Principal Horn in the Charlottesville Symphony at the University of Virginia, coaching orchestra horn sectionals, coaching a chamber music ensemble, and additional performance opportunities.

The Instructor in Horn will also maintain a studio of primarily undergraduate students. These private lessons are compensated beyond the wages of the primary teaching duties.

Applicants must have a master’s degree in music by the date of appointment. Successful teaching and recruiting experience at the university level and evidence of significant experience as a solo and ensemble performer is desired. Candidates should be comfortable teaching students of varying skill levels (music majors and non‑majors) and teaching a range of techniques and repertoires.

The UVA Music Department supports a vibrant performance program featuring a wide range of ensembles such as new music, jazz, and wind ensemble. In addition, the Department offers innovative programs in Composition and Computer Technologies, and Critical and Comparative Studies. We are very interested in attracting excellent performance colleagues who can also interact with these areas of the Department in some way.

This position will not sponsor applications for work visas. The University will perform background checks on all new faculty hires prior to making a final offer of employment.
