    Position description

The Department of Communication Studies in the Faculty of Arts and 
Science at Concordia University invites applications for a tenure-track 
position in Intermedia Production at the rank of Assistant Professor. We 
are seeking candidates with expertise in one or more of the following 
areas: expanded cinema, critical audio narratives, 
non-linear/interactive forms, and/or related practices. As a 
humanities-oriented department with a founding tradition of concern for 
social justice, we value diversity among our faculty and strongly 
encourage candidates whose creative work and academic research engages 
with issues of racial and gender inequality, LGBTQ rights, Indigenous 
rights, economic inequality, critical disabilities, and other related 
areas. The successful candidate will be expected to teach technical 
approaches along with critical histories and theories that explore 
different political, ethical, and institutional frameworks of media 
production. Additional university-level teaching experience in moving 
images and sound is an asset. The successful candidate should also have 
an active practice in creating and exhibiting intermedia-based work at a 
professional level. Duties will include developing and leading 
research-creation projects, teaching production and theory courses at 
the graduate and undergraduate level, managing two computer teaching 
labs with the assistance of technical staff and service to the 
department, the institution, and the wider scholarly community.


    Qualifications and assets

Candidates must have completed their PhD in Media or a cognate 
Humanities or Fine Arts area by the start date of the appointment. 
Qualified candidates must be media makers/scholars who have the 
expertise to teach media production in an academic context, have 
professional experience or up to date skills with new production 
technologies, and have experience with innovative forms of media-making.

The main criteria for selection are scholarly and teaching excellence. 
The successful candidate will provide evidence of high-quality scholarly 
output that demonstrates potential for independent research leading to 
peer assessed publications and the securing of external research 
funding, as well as strong potential for outstanding teaching 
contributions at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Candidates 
are encouraged to share any career interruptions or personal 
circumstances that may have had an impact on their career goals in their 
letter of application. These will be carefully considered in the 
assessment process. The Department values diversity among its faculty 
and strongly encourages applications from women and members of 
underrepresented groups. Concordia University is an English-language 
institution of higher learning at which the primary language of 
instruction and research is English. Since this position supports 
academic functions of the university, proficiency in English is 
required. Working knowledge of French is an asset.

All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and 
Permanent Residents will be given priority. To comply with the 
Government of Canada’s reporting requirements, the University is obliged
