AMS Jobs / Fellowships / Conferences / Calls for Papers Bulletin Boards

The AMS forwards job vacancy notices, fellowship announcements, conference announcements, calls for papers for conferences, and other similar announcements to its "AMS-Announce" (or "Musicology-announce") bulletin boards.

For ease of use, postings to the bulletin boards are prefixed by category: JOB, FWP, CONF, CFP.

This is a free service for those wishing to advertise jobs, fellowships, conferences, and other announcements.

To have an item posted, please forward your information and request in an e-mail to the AMS office. Bob will forward it to the bulletin board, typically within 24 hours.

1) AMS-Announce@list.bowdoin.edu

This list is commercial-free and run with Mailman software, thanks to the administrative assistance of Bowdoin College. It was begun in September 2006. See the AMS-Announce info page for information and subscription. See the AMS-Announce archives to browse previous posts. This list has the advantage of being advertising-free; it has the disadvantage of lack of ease for searching the archives.

2) Musicology-announce via Google Groups

This list is hosted via Google. It has e-mail options similar to (1) above, with the advantage of an easily searchable web-based archive. It includes Google's standard advertising. To subscribe or view the archives (which date from 1/14/2005), see the Google Groups Musicology-Announce page.

You may also subscribe to the Google musicology group via RSS feed.

3) Musicology-announce via Yahoo Groups

This list is hosted via Yahoo. It has e-mail options as 1 and 2 above, and an easily searchable web-based archive. It includes Yahoo's standard advertising. To subscribe or view the archives (which date from 4/25/2001), See the Yahoo Groups Musicology-Announce page.

You may also subscribe to the Yahoo musicology group via RSS feed.

For a bulletin board that focuses on conferences in musicology (chronological order), see the Music Conferences page maintained at Royal Holloway.

For a listing of ongoing grants and fellowships, see the AMS Ongoing Grants and Fellowships page.

AMS-Announce Guidelines

Topics: AMS-Announce posts should be clearly related to musicology and musicologically-related subjects of more than mere local interest. Job postings unrelated to musicology, concert announcements unlikely to be of widespread interest, and the like are not appropriate for this list.

Size of posts: Posts should be clear and short, directing interested readers to a web site for fuller information wherever possible. Posts longer than thirty lines are subject to editing or rejection. (Rationale: readers tend to avoid longer posts, web sites work well for details, and short posts save bandwidth.)

Repetition of information: "Reminder" posts may be submitted no more than once for any given announcement. Reminder posts will be fewer than fifty words and will refer interested readers to a web site and the original AMS-Announce post. Reminder posts may be submitted six or more weeks after the date of the original post. (Rationale: list readers tire of repetition and the purpose of the list is undermined if too much repetition occurs.)

Conference Announcements: Each event may have one Call for Papers (CFP) with a reminder and one Conference (CONF) announcement with a reminder during a 12 month period.

Frequency of announcements: Organizations may submit announcements no more than once every six weeks. Please consolidate your information into a single wherever possible.

To have an item posted, please forward your information and request in an e-mail to the AMS office. Bob will forward it to the bulletin board, typically within 24 hours.

Further information: Please contact Bob Judd at the AMS if other questions arise.
