Position Overview

The School of Music at the University of Kansas strives to offer a comprehensive array of programs of study at the bachelors, masters and doctoral levels. The School offers required coursework to students wishing to pursue a profession in music or those pursuing related programs of study on campus. The School also offers elective opportunities for music study to the overall student body.

The School of Music invites qualified scholars and professionals to submit applications for Instructor positions, which will be reviewed by the faculty and placed in a pool to be considered for part-time, full-time, regular, or temporary teaching positions, as needed.

The Instructor is an instructional, adjunct faculty position that is not eligible for tenure or promotion in rank. This is a term appointment for the Fall 2026 and/or Spring 2027 semesters.

Specifically, we cannot currently offer employment to candidates residing in the following states: California, Delaware, Idaho and Minnesota. We appreciate your understanding and invite interested individuals from eligible states to apply.
