Naming the department, the three-year term and the possibility of renewal up front is what makes this listing usable, and the musicology or ethnomusicology split is a real choice applicants have to make. A line on teaching load would help them weigh it. For image work around a portfolio or a poster, Image 2.5 Sunburst can generate and edit images from a prompt or a reference upload.
