Job Description: UCLA TFT Assistant Professor of Experimental and 
Emergent Media
The UCLA Department of Film, Television and Digital Media seeks to fill 
an Assistant Professor, tenure track professor position in Cinema and 
Media Studies with expertise in critical and historical approaches to 
experimental and emergent media in film, television, video, and digital 
media.

The Department encourages work that aims at social impact. We see 
non-traditional, alternative, and innovative, media as a critical 
interface between media studies and practice. Such media has often 
catalyzed innovation in narrative form. Thus, we are interested in 
candidates whose work resonates with the areas of MFA programs in the 
FTV Department: Animation, Digital Media, Production, Producers and 
Screenwriting. We especially encourage applications from candidates 
whose interests include documentary, media arts, avant-garde, 
interactive work, development of archival resources from 
underrepresented communities, and/or digital media production.

The Cinema and Media Studies (CMS) Program places an emphasis on 
“intermediality” across historical, contemporary, and applied research 
in our field. We understand intermediality as an approach that is 
attentive to the complex relations existing across media texts, 
platforms, industries, and cultures. CMS supports a broad array of 
critical interests, training students to engage with and work across 
several disciplinary axes:

• Participatory, rigorous archival, or data-driven research
• Critically informed approaches to the analysis of texts and the 
cultural formations within which they are produced and circulated
• Applied research within professional and policy arenas for media
• Emerging modes of videographic and digital scholarship

The University of California, Los Angeles, and the Department of Film, 
Television, and Digital Media are interested in candidates who are 
committed to the highest standards of scholarship and professional 
activities and to the development of a campus climate that supports 
equality and diversity. Women and minorities are encouraged to apply.

Application information: Applicants must have a PhD in film studies, 
media studies, area studies, or a related discipline. The department is 
searching for applicants who have a demonstrated commitment to diversity 
and social change and who are able to teach and advise broadly across 
the Cinema and Media Studies core and elective curriculum.

Please submit an electronic version of your CV, the names of 3 
references who may be contacted regarding your application, a statement 
of teaching goals and experience, a statement of contributions to 
diversity, one published article or book chapter (no more than 40 pages) 
and a cover letter of no more than 3 pages that illustrates your 
particular suitability for the position. Please address your materials 
to Professor Steve Anderson – Chair of the Search Committee.

Application Deadline: Applications should be received by December 22nd, 2017
