The Department of Cinema & Media Studies at Carleton College invites applications for a tenure-track position in digital media production starting September 1, 2008.  The position is at the assistant professor level but appointments at a higher rank will also be considered.  We are looking for candidates with a solid academic background in film and/or media studies, a record of effectiveness in teaching undergraduate students from diverse backgrounds, and demonstrated proficiency in relevant digital technologies.

 

The successful candidate will teach courses in video, audio, and/or web production and design as well as areas of special interest in film and media culture. A Ph.D. or M.F.A. is expected. 



Cinema & Media Studies is a growing department in which critical thinking and creative making are mutually informing. We are seeking a dynamic, program-building candidate who welcomes interdisciplinarity and is capable of developing a national-level production program appropriate to the liberal arts. We are particularly interested in applicants who will strengthen the departmental commitment to students from underrepresented groups.



Carleton is a highly selective liberal arts college with 1900 undergraduates located 45 miles south of Minneapolis and St. Paul. The Carleton calendar includes three 10-week terms and the standard teaching load is six courses, although new tenure-track faculty teach five courses during their first three years.



Please send letter of application, curriculum vitae, two sample syllabi and a sample of creative work on DVD by October 1 to:
