Job offer

The Yong Siew Toh Conservatory, National University of Singapore, offers a unique and adventurous 21st-century Asian environment in which we train and educate performers, composers, producers and recording engineers to take advantage of future professional and artistic opportunities both in Singapore and in the world. The Conservatory is distinctively international in terms of its faculty, student population and artistic outlook. Our mission is to be a focal point for musical activity, artistic development and research, for Singapore, the Asia-Pacific region, and beyond.

YST is seeking an experienced music professional to provide strategic academic and artistic leadership in composition, creative practice, and artistic research. The successful candidate will advance an imaginative and integrated model of conservatory education at NUS that connects creative practice, scholarly inquiry, teaching, and curriculum development in composition, aural training, music theory, and contextual studies with professional development, leadership, and public engagement. Through internationally recognised creative practice, artistic research, and regional and international engagement, the candidate will also contribute to the Conservatory’s position as a leading centre for contemporary and creative practice in music and for artistic research, with particular distinction in Southeast Asia and strong international connections.
