College invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor with 
a specialization in Film, Television, and Popular Culture to begin in

Teaching responsibilities may vary by semester but will include core 
courses in the major (including Introduction to CMS, Communication and 
Media Theory, and Qualitative Methods in CMS), courses based on the 
candidate’s expertise, and the possibility to contribute to the 
college’s first year seminar program. The ideal candidate will also be

in candidates who show a strong commitment to undergraduate teaching and 
mentoring and who engage in creative, experiential, and innovative 
teaching practices.

The CMS Program is committed to an equitable and inclusive learning 
environment and supports Washington College’s ongoing efforts toward 
inclusive excellence. The CMS curriculum is built on a critical-cultural 
foundation focused on developing students’ critical media literacy and 
multimedia communication skills in a liberal arts setting. We encourage 
our students to use those skills to address issues related to civic 
engagement and social justice. The ideal candidate will address these 
values in their teaching and scholarship.
