Post-Doctoral Fellowships in Music at Columbia University
The Department of Music at Columbia University is pleased to announce two Mellon Post-Doctoral Fellowships, to begin in September 2009. We seek scholars or artists in the early stages of their academic careers (with doctorates received after June 30, 2006 or with all requirements completed by June 30, 2009) whose research, creative work, and teaching will add to the intellectual vigor and diversity of musical life at Columbia.
In each semester of a two-year appointment, a Fellow will teach one course. At least three of these four courses will be in Columbia’s Core Curriculum: either Music Humanities (Masterpieces of Western Music) or a comparable course in Major Cultures (such as Asian Music Humanities). A fourth course may be on a subject chosen by the Fellow, in consultation with the Department. (For information about the Core Curriculum, click here.)

Fall Language Exams For Music Grad Students
Foreign Language Examinations for Grad Students in Music
Columbia’s graduate program in music follows a “rule of three” when assessing language capability. All students, including those transferring from other universities, are required to demonstrate competence in reading and translating two languages other than their native tongue.
Columbia’s graduate program in music follows a “rule of three” when assessing language capability. All students, including those transferring from other universities, are required to demonstrate competence in reading and translating two languages other than their native tongue.
Thus, if English is your native language, you must pass examinations in two other languages. In Historical Musicology and Music Theory, German and French are strongly recommended. If your native language is not English and you have demonstrated competency in English with an adequate TOEFL score upon entering Columbia and in coursework here, then you will be deemed competent in two languages (your own and English), and you will need to pass one additional language exam. We will not test you separately in English.
