Founded in 1882, The Royal College of Music (RCM) is a world leading music conservatoire with a prestigious history and contemporary outlook. Our excellence was recognised by the 2026 QS World University Rankings, in which we were ranked as the No. 1 institution in the UK and Europe, and second globally, for both Music and Performing Arts. The College has held global first and second positions in Performing Arts for five successive years, while Music is a new subject introduced to the rankings in 2024.
To cope with growing demand and our increasingly global perspective, the Royal College of Music is seeking to engage a Historical Lute professor to join its international team of professors in the Historical Performance Faculty. We are looking for candidates with the following attributes:
* You should be a widely recognised and highly respected practitioner, either as a performer or teacher.
* You will be teaching, to an exceptionally high level of technical and musical proficiency, students at undergraduate, postgraduate and, in some cases, doctoral level, so relevant teaching experience at this level is required.
* You should have a global perspective and significant international contacts.
* You should understand the particular demands of the music profession whilst striving to help each student reach the fullness of their own potential.
This post is offered on a permanent, part-time basis and is available from September 2026.
The RCM is committed to nurturing diverse and inclusive environments for all staff and students to work and learn. We positively encourage applications from suitably qualified and eligible candidates from diverse backgrounds, including race, disability, age, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion and belief, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, and caring responsibility.
