THE MEL HOPPENHEIM SCHOOL OF CINEMA
FACULTY OF FINE ARTS, CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY
 Tenure-Track Faculty Position in Critical Sexuality Studies in Film 
and Media
 Concordia University’s Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema in the Faculty 
of Fine Arts invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track faculty 
position in Critical Sexuality Studies in Film and Media to begin August 
1, 2019.
 Position Description
Film Studies at Concordia University is an internationally renowned 
leader in scholarship and curriculum devoted to the study of sexuality, 
gender, and queer film and media. Having participated as a co-founder 
and co-leader of the Minor in Interdisciplinary Studies in Sexuality 
since its establishment in 1999, the program has drawn hundreds of 
students to Montreal over the past twenty years. Integral to Film 
Studies and its undergraduate and graduate programs are pioneering 
courses that address the role of cinema and media in sexuality and queer 
study. Notably, Concordia hosted the first undergraduate class in North 
America devoted to the study of HIV as a cultural and political 
phenomenon and actively maintains the Queer Media Database 
(www.mediaqueer.ca).
 We are seeking candidates with expertise in LGBTQ+ approaches to film 
and media. Applicants must display an outstanding record of research and 
teaching across these areas, as well as a strong commitment to 
interdisciplinary inquiry and the support of diverse communities. The 
ideal candidate will value intersectionality and integrate this into 
their research, teaching, and service.  Responsibilities
The successful candidate will be expected to teach specialized courses 
on LGBTQ+ topics alongside more general Film Studies classes. Their 
courses will contribute to the new BA Major in Interdisciplinary Studies 
in Sexuality, housed in the Simone de Beauvoir Institute. Other 
responsibilities include the supervision of MA and PhD theses, serving 
on graduate committees, in addition to performing suitable 
administrative duties. Over time, the selected candidate will actively 
embrace program stewardship and engage in committee work at the 
department and Faculty levels.
 Qualifications
Applicants should hold a PhD in Film, Media, Cultural Studies, or a 
related discipline(s), have substantial teaching experience at the 
university level, and demonstrate an active program of research 
exemplified by a record of publications across the relevant fields. We 
require a candidate with the ability to mentor students at the 
undergraduate and graduate levels. Prior experience of service and 
commitment to diversity and inclusivity will stand as a high priority. 
Although classes are taught in English, a foundation in French is deemed 
an asset.
  About the Faculty and the School of Cinema
With over 4,000 students, faculty, and staff, the Faculty of Fine Arts 
is among the five largest art and design schools in North America. 
Montréal, our home, is exceptional: with 170,000 university students, a 
vibrant cultural scene, and the most affordable tuition in Canada, the 
city ranks among the top ten best destinations in the world for tertiary 
education. While supporting a significant Anglophone population, 
Montréal is the second largest French-speaking city after Paris. North 
America’s number one choice for international events and festivals, 
Montréal was the first metropolis to be designated a UNESCO City of 
Design by the Global Alliance for Cultural Diversity. Nestled in the 
heart of this pulsing city, embraced by a dynamic research university, 
the Faculty of Fine Arts benefits from extraordinary access to brilliant 
practitioners, thriving venues, cross-cultural perspectives, and an 
extensive network of outstanding facilities for research and production. 
 Taking advantage of our place within the rich fabric of a research 
university and our long history as one of the premiere sites in Canada 
for the study and creation of the arts and arts-based scholarship, the 
Faculty of Fine Arts is currently engaged in a transformative moment in 
which pedagogical, conceptual, theoretical, and material practices find 
resonance with a significant diversity of approaches. In our university 
community, live performance, historical research, methodological 
innovation, theoretical scholarship, technical experimentation, 
skills-based production, community fieldwork, as well as traditional and 
digital fabrication are equally valued. In addition to curricular 
experimentation, the formation of significant research centres and 
external partnerships in the Faculty of Fine Arts have enriched 
opportunities for faculty and students.
 The Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema—Canada’s largest university-based 
centre for the study of film animation, film production and film 
studies—is highly regarded around the world. The School hosts programs 
in Film Studies, Film Production, and Film Animation. Among the degrees 
offered are a BFA in Film Studies, a BFA in Art History and Film 
Studies, MAs in Film Studies and Cinematic Arts, and a PhD in Film and 
Moving Image Studies that attracts a diverse and international student body.
