We seek colleagues who: help build the future of performance, education, and research in the performing arts; demonstrate a growth mindset, with an understanding that learning is an ongoing process; believe that art has the power to help us understand ourselves, each other, and our culture while empowering us to move that culture forward; engage in work that appeals to, and positively impacts, the global population; contribute to a collaborative, respectful, and supportive culture by building positive relationships with colleagues and fostering an environment that encourages creativity, innovation, and student success; and. As one of the largest cities in Missouri, we are home to the internationally acclaimed Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts, a rich history of jazz, cultural arts and music venues, a new international airport, national championship sports teams, NASCAR racing, and a community that is very engaged with our Conservatory and supportive of our university initiatives.
