have an opportunity to teach at every level, from the introductory 
undergraduate lecture auditorium to advanced graduate seminars. The 
Department of Cinema and Media Studies encourages public-facing 
scholarship, and the successful candidate will have an opportunity to 
forge further connections to campus units, and to Seattle’s many vibrant 
cultural institutions catering to under-represented minority communities.
