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.
