About The Position
Binghamton University seeks applicants for a full-time, tenure-track Assistant Professor position in the Theatre Department's burgeoning musical theatre BFA program. The ideal candidate will have achieved distinction as a voice teacher, vocal pedagogue, and/or musical theatre performer/teaching artist, and will continue their creative research as they work towards tenure and promotion. Binghamton offers both a Bachelor of Fine Arts in musical theatre and a Bachelor of Arts in theatre with concentrations in acting/directing, design/tech, and dance. The BFA in musical theatre is a four-year progression of classes that gives students a foundation in acting, singing, and dancing: the three skills at the heart of this art form. Because Binghamton students are notable for their high-achieving academic record, students in both programs seek to explore dramaturgical and artistic depth. In addition to performance courses in a wide range of techniques, students audition for main stage and studio productions ranging from the classical to the contemporary, including musicals, plays, and dance productions. The successful applicant will teach approximately 12 hours of lessons per week, including studio voice lessons and vocal technique for musical theatre students. This requires an effective vocal technician invested in the success of their students through teaching healthy and science-based technique and who has the ability to connect with students from a variety of racial, ethnic, cultural, and gender identities. The position will require attendance at occasional rehearsals, teaching or co-teaching regular workshops as part of a weekly seminar series, and coordination of administrative responsibilities related to vocal offerings, in addition to fulfilling other service obligations, recruitment, and community outreach as appropriate to a tenure-track appointment. This person may also teach other courses depending upon their specialties and areas of interest.
