The Literature Faculty at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
in Cambridge, Massachusetts invites applications for a tenure-track
assistant professor in the history, theory, and criticism of film
beginning July 1, 2021. We especially encourage applicants with
interest in transnational cinematic movements, including African
Diasporic/Black, Latin-American/Latinx, and Global Indigenous. The
successful candidate will sustain and expand current undergraduate
offerings in film studies, and contribute to a generalist
literature curriculum, predominantly taught in English and open to
students in all majors. Candidates should show the promise -- and
preferably a demonstrated record -- of peer-reviewed scholarly
publication as well as effective teaching in seminar-style classes
with a focus on critical reading, thinking, and writing. The
successful candidate will have a PhD in Film Studies or a related
field in hand by start of employment.
The position involves 1) conducting significant scholarship likely to have a major impact on its field; 2) teaching undergraduate courses at Introductory, Intermediate, and Seminar tiers; 3) committee memberships and other forms of service to the Literature Faculty, the university, and the discipline.
MIT is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity employer and strongly encourages applications from women, minorities, veterans, and individuals with disabilities.
Application materials should include a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and three letters of recommendation. Complete applications are due no later than October 4, 2020 and should be submitted electronically via AcademicJobsOnline.com. (#16727)
