Assistant Professor of Cinema Production

Binghamton University’s Cinema Department develops artists and creative thinkers who
are willing to explore the experimental. A strong history of underground and independent production has made our trailblazing department an antidote to the Hollywood industry model.

We seek an established or emerging artist, working and exhibiting in experimental
modes of production, for a full-time, tenure-track appointment in our production stream
at the rank of assistant professor. This position carries a 2/2 teaching load. The
successful candidate will maintain an active creative practice and will also contribute to
the department via service, including committee work, independent studies, thesis,
curricular development, etc. We will start an MFA in Cinema Program in Fall 2023, and
the successful applicant will work together with the faculty, staff, and students to shape
this new program.
