Building upon strong traditions and a current campus climate of invention, including bold, new initiatives in the arts and humanities, the Department of Theater and Dance sees exciting potential for innovative curricular redefinition. We will work towards a flexible, integrated curriculum in Contemporary Performance with a focus on original and hybrid performance work that deliberately leverages the resources and ethos of our liberal arts context.

While precise area(s) of expertise are open, we especially seek scholars and artists with areas of expertise in original work, hybrid forms. Other areas might include scripting and/or devised performance, immersive performance, multi-media performance, site-specific or community-based performance, contemporary performance theory, and professional practice in any performance-based discipline.

Successful candidates will have a particular investment in the liberal arts context; a record of teaching excellence; evidence of leadership and innovation in the classroom, studio, and/or on stage; active engagement with professional spheres; experience in cross-disciplinary collaboration; and a strong creative and/or scholarly research agenda. We are especially interested in candidates who will promote diversity, inclusion, and equity at Colby through their teaching, research, and service. Candidates must have a terminal degree in their primary research area. The successful candidate should be able to propose bold new ideas, challenge pedagogical assumptions, and collaborate with current faculty and staff to develop and enact a new vision.

Colby is a highly selective liberal arts college recognized for excellence in undergraduate education and close student-faculty interaction. Applicants should submit a 1-2 page cover letter, a curriculum vitae, a concise statement of teaching philosophy including their perspective about how the arts function in the liberal arts context, a concise statement of research interests with video links or writing samples, and three letters of recommendation via Interfolio at the following link https://apply.interfolio.com/57237.

University of Portland (OR) - TT Assistant Professor, Theater History and Dramaturgy
The Theater Program at the University of Portland seeks a candidate to join its faculty starting August 15, 2019. This is a tenure-track, nine-month position.

Primary responsibilities include teaching Theater History, Dramatic Literature, and Dramaturgy courses for Theater Majors, and teaching a university core course introducing fine and performing arts to a broad section of University students. A doctoral degree is required at appointment. Teaching experience at the college/university level is required. The Theater Program values diversity among its faculty and is committed to building a culturally diverse intellectual and creative community.

Qualified applicants should submit the following (via https://up.hiretouch.com/job-details?jobid=51812 ): A letter of application, a statement of an educational philosophy for a liberal arts theater program, a curriculum vitae, and contact information for 3 references. Please also address in your letter any experience and/or interest in supporting the University of Portland’s strategic goals to increase internationalization and diversity and inclusion.

A Teaching University: The standard teaching load for tenured/tenure-track faculty is usually 3 (three) courses per semester. Teaching excellence, an ongoing program of scholarship, professional development, and service to the department, the University and the profession are necessary for advancement.

Variety of Courses: Because this is a small program, theater faculty are expected to be able to teach a variety of undergraduate theater courses, both lower and upper division. In addition to Theater History and Dramaturgy, the program would like candidates who can also teach in one or more of the following areas: Playwriting, Social Justice Theater, Community-based Performance. The specific courses will depend on interest, background, and program need.

Intro to Fine Arts: All faculty in the Department of Performing and Fine Arts teach the core course called Introduction to Fine Arts. The subject matter includes classical music, theatre, film, visual arts (paintings and sculpture), architecture and possibly dance. Most of the sections are independent, but there are two sections that are team-taught. In this case, two faculty bring the students together for joint lectures by one of the instructors. This allows all students to learn from theatre, music and visual arts specialists, even though there are two sections and the groups meet separately much of the time. New faculty are assigned to these groups so they can learn how the course works and develop their knowledge of areas outside of their academic expertise.

The Department of Performing and Fine Arts: The department has majors in Theater and Music as well as a minor in Fine Arts. There are five full-time theater faculty, two full-time theater staff positions, six full-time music faculty, and one faculty member in fine arts. There are also adjunct faculty who teach specialized courses. In addition to teaching and scholarship, tenure-track faculty members also share in Theater Program administrative duties, advise students, and serve the department, University, and profession in various capacities.

Theater Degrees Offered: The University of Portland offers a B.A. in Theater with three tracks: performance, design/technology, and production management. There are currently 35 theater majors and 15 theater minors. The institution is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Theatre.

Theater Production Program: The Theater Program produces 4-8 productions a year. Four mainstage productions, 2 per semester, are mounted in the Mago Hunt Theater. Two to four laboratory productions per year, generally student-directed, are mounted in either the Mago Hunt Theater or the black-box Blair Studio Theater.

Arts in Portland: Portland boasts a vibrant arts community that includes service organizations such as Literary Arts and the Regional Arts & Culture Center, as well as producers such as Portland Center Stage, Artists Repertory Theatre, Oregon Ballet Theatre and Oregon Symphony Orchestra, among many others, in addition to lively gallery and club scenes. Notable annual festivals include Fertile Ground, the Portland Jazz Festival, Wordstock, and the T:BA Festival. In addition to the major theater houses, Portland is strong in small theaters that devote substantial resources to original work.

Princeton University (NJ) - Princeton Arts Fellows (incl. Theater)
Princeton University invites applications for Princeton Arts Fellows.

Princeton Arts Fellows, funded in part by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, will be awarded to artists whose achievements have been recognized as demonstrating extraordinary promise in any area of artistic practice and teaching.

We will be accepting applications in Creative Writing, Dance, Music, Theater, and Visual Arts.

Applicants should be early career composers, conductors, musicians, choreographers, visual artists, film makers, poets, novelists, playwrights, designers, directors and performance artists -- this list is not meant to be exhaustive -- who would find it beneficial to spend two years working in an artistically vibrant university community.

Fellowships are for two 10-month academic years. An $82,000 salary for each year is included. Fellows will be in residence for academic years 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 at Princeton, interacting with our students, faculty and staff as part of the Lewis Center for the Arts and the Department of Music. The normal work assignment will be to teach one course each semester subject to approval by the Dean of the Faculty, but Fellows may be asked to take on an artistic assignment in lieu of a class, such as directing a play or creating a dance with students. Although the teaching load is light, our expectation is that Fellows will be full and active members of our community, committed to frequent and engaged interactions with students during the academic year.

Princeton Arts Fellows may not hold concurrent teaching positions at other institutions for the duration of the fellowship.

Interviews of finalists will take place on campus during January 7-8, 2019. All finalists are expected to attend the on-campus interview.

While Fellows need not reside in Princeton, they will be required to spend a significant part of the week on campus.

This Fellowship cannot be used to fund work leading to a Ph.D. or any other advanced degree. Holders of Ph.D. degrees from Princeton are not eligible to apply.

Please apply at: https://www.princeton.edu/acad-positions/position/7041 by September 18, 2018, 11:59 p.m. EST. Please note: The application will be available starting July 1, 2018.

Applicants can only apply for the Princeton Arts Fellowship twice in a life time.

We cannot confirm receipt of applications nor can we accept applications submitted after the deadline. Statements are limited to 500 words and writing samples to 3,000 words.

Advanced degree preferred.
