Candidates should have broad undergraduate-level teaching abilities in basic to advanced film production courses, cinematography, directing, screenwriting and/or post-production. Filmmaking experience that demonstrates a strong potential to achieve national recognition in any of the following production modes is required: documentary, experimental, or narrative film. Applicants must be familiar with digital technology and tools, and be able to guide students through the pre-production, production and post-production of individual short films. Key responsibilities include teaching two courses per semester, student advising and service on departmental and college committees while actively pursuing a substantive agenda for scholarly/creative work.

Candidates with a strong professional portfolio and college-level teaching experience, and with demonstrated commitment to working with - and telling the stories of - underserved and underrepresented groups, will be given preference.

Narrative, documentary, and experimental forms are explored in a program that encourages critical thinking, idea development and applied practice.
