Music Therapy
The Department of Creative Arts Therapies invites applications for one tenure-track position in Music Therapy for July 1, 2010.
The department offers Canada’s only graduate music therapy program within a Creative Arts Therapies context. Approved by the Canadian Association for Music Therapy, our one-year Graduate Certificate in Music Therapy is designed for people with a strong background in music and the behavioural/health sciences wishing to pursue careers in music therapy. Students can expect to gain a clinical skill set that will prepare them for best practices in music therapy and provide them with eligibility to apply for professional accreditation in Canada and certification in the U.S.
Pending approval, our new one-year Master’s in Creative Arts Therapies, Music Therapy Option, encourages the development of advanced professional competencies in the use of music for psychotherapeutic, developmental, rehabilitative, and wellness purposes, and for associated research. These professional competencies in music therapy will prepare graduates for careers in advanced clinical practice and research, as well as for futures in higher education. The department is committed to integrating issues of social and ethical responsibility into the curriculum.
The successful candidate will be expected to teach graduate courses, supervise students in clinical work; initiate and maintain student placement sites; supervise student research papers/projects; engage in research activity; participate in university service involving committee and administrative work; and assist in program development.

Preference will be given to candidates with a completed doctoral degree. Although classes are taught in English, fluency in spoken and written French would be considered a strong asset.
Submissions should include a covering letter; a current curriculum vitae; a statement of teaching philosophy; evidence of teaching effectiveness (including course syllabi and evaluations); a research statement and documentation; and the names and contact information for three referees, and be submitted on or before November 2, 2009 to:
