    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.

To comply with the Government of Canada’s reporting requirements, the University is obliged to gather information about applicants’ status as either Permanent Residents of Canada or Canadian citizens.
