ABOUT THE POSITION:
Working closely with the Music Department Coordinator, the Music Librarian and Music Volunteer Coordinator will work to promote local music and emerging artists both on-air and over the CKUT music blog, assist with the development of CKUT’s digital music library, and train new Music Department volunteers.

Finally, the position involves developing a plan to improve the integration and training of new Music Department volunteers.
Their responsibilities will include:
-Train and integrate new volunteers into the music department.
-Promote local music and emerging Montreal artists.
-Assist in the organization of music department fundraisers and Total Eclipse concert series.
-Oversee the music department’s blog and improve online social media presence.
-Assist with the operation and maintenance of CKUT’s digital and physical music libraries.
-Assist the Music Coordinator in tracking new releases.

-Help coordinate music video shoots in collaboration with TVM (McGill television station).
-Cover duties of the Music Coordinator during absences and/or vacations.
-Work with new and experienced volunteers to program the music department's collective show New Shit and promote it as a podcast.
