Recording Engineer

Recording Engineer #001392

School of Music

This is a time-limited, full-time, one-year appointment.

This position is on site at our Cullowhee campus.

The Recording Engineer will be responsible for managing the day-to-day operations of the audio recording/production and music technology learning spaces that are part of the WCU School of Music. The Recording Engineer will also be expected to teach specific School of Music courses and serve as the instructor of record for upper-level practicum and independent study offerings in the Commercial Music and Audio Production (CMAP) program. The CMAP Recording Studio is housed in the WCU Center for Applied Technology, which serves both the School of Music and Department of Communications broadcasting programs. Some areas of studio functionality are maintained jointly by both programs, so duties may include oversight of the facility networking systems, data backup and retrieval, and maintenance of the facility routing system. Specific CMAP faculty-related responsibilities include teaching classes in recording arts, facilitating student and faculty recording sessions, and may also include undergraduate studio instruction in the candidate’s individual area of commercial music performance. Alternate teaching may be assigned by the Director of the School of Music in areas that are commensurate with the abilities and interests of the successful candidate and the needs of the School. Non-instructional, faculty-related duties include advising students, recruiting for the program, and serving on faculty committees.

A masters degree is required. Demonstrated professional audio engineering expertise, a record of accomplishment in the music recording industry, and a successful record of college teaching are all necessary qualifications.

Preferred candidates will hold a terminal degree in music or demonstrate a record of commensurate professional experience; commercial studio experience; and/or substantial video editing and media post-production experience. Preference will also be given to candidates with a successful record of teaching in an applied commercial performance area or who are able to present a portfolio of work in curriculum development in the relevant subject areas.
