Our school also offers semester-long programs centered on internships in

London where students are also able to intern. The Park School embraces 
a philosophy of liberal arts education as the foundation for the study 
of theory and practice that leads to immediate career-readiness in a 
constantly changing industry. The Park School is fortunate to be endowed 
by such prestigious organizations as The Park Foundation and the 
Pendleton Foundation, among others. Some of our illustrious alumni 
include Robert Iger (CEO of The Walt Disney Company), David Muir (anchor 
of ABC World News Tonight), David Boreanaz (star of Angel, Bones, and

The Late Show with David Letterman), among many others.

This position will teach a number of undergraduate screen studies 
courses, such as an introductory course in film aesthetics and analysis 
and survey courses in American film history and classical and 
contemporary film theories in documentary/experimental/narrative, with 
some limited opportunities for courses in various areas of screen 
studies depending on enrollment, curricular, and institutional needs. 
These required courses are team-taught, large lecture classes with 
smaller breakout discussion sections. The anticipated annual teaching 
load is 24 credits.
We are especially interested in recruiting candidates with proven 
expertise in film history, screen industries studies, close textual 
analysis, documentary/experimental/narrative screen theories,

The successful candidate will demonstrate an ability to teach in ways 
that value the varied learning needs and interests of a culturally 
diverse student population, and that reflect a commitment to encouraging 
the academic success and engagement of all students.
The non-tenure eligible, non-renewable position offers full benefits 
plus some travel support for research and conferences. It also offers 
opportunities to be mentored by senior tenured faculty in both large 
lecture and small class settings, as well as in online and blended
