 1. Istambul Technical University. Faculty vacancy

 ISTANBUL TECHNICAL U. ­ CENTER FOR ADVANCED MUSICAL RESEARCH

Faculty vacancy in Music Theory. Continuing position beginning September 2000 ­ tenure-track
equivalent with one-year renewable contracts. Classes begin in October,
2000. An unexpected departure has opened the position of Music Theory
Coordinator of the Dr. Erol Ucer Advanced Studies in Music program of the
ITU Center for Advanced Musical Research, the first American-style graduate
music program in Turkey. Teaching duties will generally involve teaching two
graduate seminars and one review harmony class (undergrad. equivalent) each
semester, though the specific teaching load will be determined in
consultation with the Director, Kamran Ince. All classes are taught in
English. Exact choice of graduate seminars is flexible but will generally
include Schenkerian analysis, as well as methodologically broader analysis
classes.  Other areas such as set theory, narratology, the history of
theory, and theory pedagogy are possible depending on the particular
strengths of the candidate.

Qualifications: Doctorate at or near completion. Previous teaching
experience highly desirable. Background in composition is also an advantage.

Salary: Compensation package is competitive with U.S. salaries, and includes
a fully furnished apartment and transportation to and from the downtown
Istanbul campus where classes are taught. 10-month salary will be paid in
U.S. dollars, with housing provided for 12 months. One round-trip air ticket
home will be provided each year.

Istanbul Technical University was founded in the 18th-Century and is widely
considered to be one of the best universities in Turkey, if not the entire
region. Its curriculum goes far beyond what is implied by the "Technical"
moniker, and it is the most prominent and respected university in Istanbul.

Evaluation of applications will begin immediately (6/17/00) and continue
until the position is filled. Applicants should email an application letter
to the search committee as soon as possible and arrange to have 2-3 letters
of recommendation sent electronically as well. Please do not send supporting
materials at this time.

 3. NEH SUMMER STIPENDS


Deadline: October 1, 2000 for awards during the summer of 2001

The National Endowment for the Humanities announces the competition for
Summer Stipends awards. These awards support two consecutive months of
full-time work on projects that will make a significant contribution to
the humanities. In most cases, faculty members of colleges and
universities in the United States must be nominated by their institutions
for the Summer Stipends competition, and each of these institutions may
nominate two applicants. Prospective applicants who will require
nomination should acquaint themselves with their institution's nomination
procedures well before the October 1 deadline. Individuals employed in
nonteaching capacities in colleges and universities and independent
scholars not affiliated with colleges and universities do not require
nomination and may apply directly to the program. Adjunct faculty and
academic applicants with appointments terminating by the summer of 2001
may also apply without nomination.

TENURE: Tenure must cover two full and uninterrupted months and will
normally be held between May 1, 2001 and September 30, 2001. STIPEND:
$4,000

INQUIRIES: 202/606-8200 or e-mail: stipends@neh.gov

PURPOSE AND SCOPE: The Summer Stipends program provides opportunities for
individuals to pursue advanced work in disciplines of the humanities
during the summer. Projects proposed for support may contribute to
scholarly knowledge or to the general public's understanding of the
humanities, and they may address broad topics or consist of research and
study in a single field.

ELIGIBILITY: Applicants need not have advanced degrees, but neither
candidates for degrees nor persons seeking support for work toward a
degree are eligible to apply for Summer Stipends. Persons who have held a
major fellowship or research grant or its equivalent during the 1998-99
academic year or during subsequent academic years are ineligible for
Summer Stipends. (A "major fellowship or research grant" is a postdoctoral
award that provides support for a continuous period of time equal to at
least one term of the academic year; that enables the recipient to pursue
scholarly research, personal study, professional development, or writing;
that provides a stipend of at least $10,000; and that comes from sources
other than the recipient's employing institution. Sabbaticals and grants
from a person's own institution are not considered major fellowships.)
Beginning in 2001, Summer Stipends recipients may hold other small
research grants for the same project during the tenure of their awards,
but they must devote full time to their Summer Stipends research for the
two months of their grant tenure.

SELECTION PROCEDURES: Reviewers consider the significance of the proposed
project to the humanities, the quality of the applicant's work, the
conception and description of the project, and the likelihood that the
work will be accomplished.

For further information and application materials, persons interested in
these programs can use the telephone number and e-mail address provided
above, or they can write to: NEH Summer Stipends, Room 318, National
Endowment for the Humanities, 1100 Pennsylvania Ave., N.W., Washington,
D.C. 20506. All applications must be postmarked on or before October 2
(this year, October 1 is a Sunday).
Please note that the NEH does not accept applications submitted by FAX or
e-mail.

 9. AP Music Theory

 Dear Colleagues:

The Advanced Placement Music Theory program is looking for a few good readers!

Each year thousands of high school students take the Advanced Placement
examination in Music Theory. The examination includes questions in sight
singing, melodic dictation, harmonic dictation, figured bass and
composition. These questions are scored during early June of each year
in a reading held at the College of New Jersey near Princeton, NJ. The
reading is an experience that mixes hard work, professional development,
fine (and frequent!) dining, excursions to New York or Philadelphia, and
lots of fun. Those chosen to read are flown in from all over the U.S.
and receive an honorarium for their services.

Those of us who have had the pleasure to participate in the program have
found the experience to be very rewarding. Readers often relate that
their teaching is improved by the many fine ideas people share during
our time together. Others enjoy discussing their scholarship in an
informal setting.

If you currently teach first year Music Theory and are interested in
applying to become a reader, please visit the College Board web site at
http://www.collegeboard.org/ap/teachers/invit002.html
