This position carries a 3/3 teaching load and a three-year contract.

Requirements:

Applicants must have an MFA or equivalent terminal degree in film and video production or a related field by the time of appointment, as well as a strong dedication to teaching. Interdisciplinary, global, and cross-cultural perspectives are highly encouraged.
