Limited-Term Appointment in Film Studies
Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema

Concordia University’s Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema invites applications for two limited-term appointment positions in Film Studies at the rank of Lecturer or Assistant Professor, effective August 1, 2015 to May 14, 2016.


Limited-term appointment positions are subject to budgetary approval and departmental or unit need. Individuals holding limited-term appointments may be reappointed, given continued funding and need, as well as satisfactory job performance. Together, initial appointments and subsequent reappointments may not exceed 36 months or a span of three consecutive years.


The Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema—Canada’s largest university-based centre for the study of film animation, film production and film studies—has a stellar reputation around the world. The School has the distinct advantage of being situated in Concordia’s vibrant Faculty of Fine Arts, where faculty and students enjoy numerous cross-disciplinary opportunities, state-of-the-art resources and facilities, and a rich artistic and cultural context for research and study. Currently, our faculty complement includes 24 full-time professors and a talented cadre of part-time instructors, teaching more than 500 students. Our faculty and alumni have strong ties with the Quebec and Canadian film communities, and have been nominated for or won numerous international film awards.


The successful candidates will normally be expected to teach up to six courses during their initial appointment and up to seven courses per annum if reappointed. Successful applicants should be prepared to teach an MA seminar in addition to undergraduate lectures and seminars, while being invited to develop courses corresponding to their own expertise. Responsibilities will also include active involvement in committee and administrative work.


Candidates for this position should have a PhD in Film Studies or a related field. Preference will be given to applicants who demonstrate scholarly expertise that fits one of the following two profiles: 1) Film Technology, Film Theory, Gender and Film; or 2) Cinema Quebecois, Canadian Cinema, Film Directors. Although classes are taught in English, fluency in spoken and written French is considered an asset.


Submissions should consist of a letter of application; a curriculum vitae; a statement of teaching philosophy; evidence of teaching effectiveness (including course syllabi and evaluations); and the names and contact information of three referees. All short-listed candidates will be required to provide an attestation of terminal degree.


Applications should reach the department no later than March 10, 2015.
