Bucknell University's Film/Media Studies Program invites applications for a visiting assistant professor of televisual studies with a specialization in race and/or gender. The one-year position will begin in August 2022.

There is a 3/3 teaching load which includes a course in the historical evolution of television as it interfaces with cinema, radio, and twenty-first century platforms, along with more focused special topics offerings that tackle specific eras, genres, and issues in relation to race and/or gender in televisual culture and industry.

We seek a teacher-scholar with clear evidence of commitment to undergraduate teaching and research, student learning, diversity, and inclusive pedagogy.

The Film/Media Studies Program has strong offerings in film history and interpretation, supported by special programming at Lewisburg's 1941 Campus Theatre. Our production courses have excellent facilities, with students making a wide range of creative media.

Bucknell University, an Equal Opportunity Employer, welcomes applications from members of groups that have been historically underrepresented in higher education. We believe that students learn best in a diverse, inclusive community and we are therefore committed to Bucknell's efforts to create a climate that fosters the growth and development of a diverse student body. Application materials include a Cover Letter, CV, and Diversity Statement (one-page statement describing how commitment to diversity is present in the candidate's teaching, research, and mentoring). Candidates invited to submit for a second round will be asked for a writing sample, sample syllabi, and three letters of recommendation.
