The Schulich School of Music of McGill University is Canada’s leading institution for the professional training of performers and composers, and the humanities-based and scientific research in music and sound. We seek individuals with an international profile in music performance and research who will maintain a high level of professional activity and are able to teach and supervise students in all university degree and diploma programs through to the doctoral level. Montreal offers a vibrant multicultural living environment and is consistently rated among the best student cities in the world.
The Department of Performance invites applications for a tenure-track position in Violin at the rank of Assistant Professor, for an initial 3-year appointment beginning August 1, 2025. Applications at the rank of Associate Professor may be considered for exceptional candidates.

Recognized excellence in teaching students at the highest professional level. Leadership, organizational and interpersonal skills will also be considered.

Accordingly, the individual will be expected to maintain a high level of international professional activity while teaching and supervising students in all university undergraduate, graduate, and diploma programs through to the professional level. In addition to practical instruction and chamber music coaching, teaching responsibilities may include other courses related to the area of expertise. Service may include participation in departmental and Faculty committees, and in the development of curricular offerings at all levels. The ability to develop and sustain a level of performance activity or research commensurate with the University’s expectations for tenure is required.
