Department of Music
Associate Professor/ Assistant Professor

Founded in 1965, the Department of Music at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) is the first degree-granting music department in Hong Kong. Our faculty members bring expertise across diverse areas of music studies, actively engage in cutting-edge research supported by competitive grants, and publish in leading international venues. The Department is committed to fostering academic excellence and interdisciplinary collaboration within a welcoming and inclusive workplace where individuals are valued and respected, and to providing a comprehensive education for students at undergraduate, master's, and doctoral levels. We seek a colleague with a record of accomplishment and a clear trajectory for future excellence as a scholar and teacher, whose intellectual profile and expertise complement and expand upon our collective endeavors. 

The Department now invites applications for a tenure-track position of Associate/ Assistant Professor in Music. We welcome applications from both early career scholars and tenured or tenure-eligible Associate Professors, with the understanding that tenure at CUHK will be subject to external assessment.

Applicants should have: (i) a PhD degree in musicology, broadly defined to include the full range of areas within music research and its interdisciplinary intersections with other fields; (ii) a record of outstanding publications and successful grant applications, or clear potential thereof; and (iii) a demonstrated commitment to excellence in scholarly research, teaching, and service.

Responsibilities include: (a) teaching two courses per semester at undergraduate and/or postgraduate levels; (b) producing high-quality, innovative research and securing research grants; (c) supervising student projects and postgraduate theses; and (d) performing administrative duties.

Appointment will normally be made on contract basis for up to three years initially, commencing August 2026, which, subject to performance and mutual agreement, may lead to longer-term appointment or substantiation (tenure) later.
