Stanford University - Documentary Film and Video Production (Open Rank)
The Program in Film and Media Studies in the Department of Art & Art History at Stanford University is seeking candidates for an open-rank position with an emphasis in the field of Documentary Film and Video Production. The appointment is expected to begin September 1, 2013.

Situated in the Department of Art and Art History as part of Stanford's program in Film and Media Studies, the Master of Fine Arts Program in Documentary Film and Video provides a historical, theoretical, and critical framework within which students master the conceptual and practical skills for producing nonfiction film and video. In their own filmmaking, faculty are encouraged to seek out synergies that may exist among colleagues within the department and across the university.

The MFA degree prepares students for professional careers in film, video, and digital media and for teaching at the university level. The philosophy of the program is predicated on a paradigm of independent media that values artistic expression, formal exploration, social awareness, and a defined vision. A dual emphasis on production and theory classes prepares the student to undertake an academic position that may require the teaching of both film studies and media production.

The successful candidate will teach at the graduate level in the MFA Program in Documentary Film and Video and at the undergraduate level in the Film and Media Studies program. Candidates will be expected to teach a range of core courses in both documentary production and documentary studies. The production sequence includes research, conceptualization, producing, directing, cinematography, sound, and editing of nonfiction media. The successful applicant will be expected to develop studies courses that explore the history and theory of documentary. The Program welcomes applicants who are filmmakers with a strong creative portfolio and with teaching experience at both the introductory and advanced levels. A completed MFA or Ph.D. is required.

Please send a letter of application that includes the following: a statement that details your approach to your creative work, a description of your teaching experience and philosophy, a CV, sample work on DVD, and a list of three referees to: Professor Jan Krawitz, Department of Art & Art History, 435 Lasuen Mall, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305-2018.

A Ph.D. in literature by August 2013 is required, with expertise in British Romanticism and /or Film and Media Studies. Welcomed subspecialties include Composition Theory, Rhetoric, and Creative Writing.

The United States Naval Academy (USNA) is a four year undergraduate institution with a mission to prepare midshipmen morally, mentally, and physically for commissioning as officers in the naval services.

Wellesley College - Assistant Professor in New Media Theory
Job Opening: Assistant Professor in New Media Theory and Criticism at Wellesley College

The Cinema and Media Studies Program (CAMS) at Wellesley College seeks a tenure-track assistant professor (beginning or advanced) whose research and teaching focus is on the theory and practice of digital media and emerging technologies. CAMS is a relatively young interdisciplinary program with a strong global orientation, committed to the integration of theory and practice. The curriculum offers courses in the history and theory of film as well as studio production courses in video, photography, and digital imaging. We are looking for a New Media scholar who can provide intellectual and teaching expertise in areas that look beyond cinema. The candidate will play an active role in developing and refining a forward-looking program, working closely with other programs including Art History and Studio Art, Media Arts and Sciences, and Anthropology. Dynamic candidates with a vision are encouraged not only to apply, but also to be creative in proposing areas of undergraduate teaching and research that explore the emerging mediascapes and theorize the role that new technologies might be playing in bringing about the "post-human" condition.

The ideal candidate will hold an advanced degree in Media Studies or a closely related field (PhD preferred--ABD considered) and show an active interest in critical/theoretical approaches to: (a) web-based production and consumption of still/moving images and music/sound; (b) interactive games and virtual reality; (c) mobile media; and/or (d) social media and the public sphere. Pluses include: research program and ability to develop an undergraduate course in (a) animation, (b) twenty-first century global media, (c) questions of ethics, privacy and the politics of digital exchange, or (d) the interface between cognition and media. In addition to teaching both core and advanced courses in media studies, the successful candidate, depending on field, may also have the opportunity to teach production.

POSITION STARTS: Fall 2013

Please submit: (1) a letter of interest; (2) a curriculum vitae; (3) ideas for courses to teach at the undergraduate level, with an annotated syllabus if possible; (4) writing sample (published article or chapter of the dissertation) and, if applicable, creative work samples (as PDF files or other appropriate formats) and (5) names of at least three referees asked to submit confidential letters of recommendation (the online application will request name and email address in order for recommenders or dossier services to submit letters directly). Applications should be submitted electronically to: https://career.wellesley.edu/. If circumstances make it impossible to submit materials online, please email us working@wellesley.edu.

Application Due: December 15

Wellesley College is one of the country's pre-eminent liberal arts colleges, and a distinguished leader in the education of women.

DISCUSSION
-- Anyone know anything about a position at Hong Kong Baptist University? Not sure if it fits here or in last year's wiki, but the deadline was June 30--

-- Golly, it certainly seems like this would have been a good year to be an Asianist.

-- What happened to the handy "Contents" menu at the top with the list of different positions? The new "Contents" form is okay, but it doesn't allow for quick glances as easily, and when I click on a category like "Tenure Track Positions" I end up having to scroll down through the whole list in order to see basic information. Any way we can go back to the old format?
 * I'm seeing the same old contents list as usual. I think the site might be acting a bit glitchy today. I would recommend possibly clearing your browser cache / reloading the page and seeing what happens. Maybe try a different browser too. Certainly, no administrator has changed the format, so I'm guessing it's something going on with the larger Wikia interface. If the problem persists, I would recommend contacting Wikia: http://academicjobs.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contact/bug  Una74 (talk) 16:45, November 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * UPDATE: I inquired directly with Wikia and confirmed that this problem should not be occuring and that if you are continuing to have problems with it, you should contact them directly at the link provided above. Since I'm not experiencing this particular issue, I can't provide them with the technical data they need to resolve it. So if you want to get it fixed, you need to report it to them! Una74 (talk) 23:08, November 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm also getting this issue on all jobs pages. Can't report the problem, though, since I'm not a registered user.
 * It's easy and free to create a user log in. Link: http://academicjobs.wikia.com/wiki/Special:UserSignup
 * Another UPDATE: the issue seems to be that users who are not logged into the site cannot see the Contents formatted with Heading 3. I have contacted Wikia about this issue (which seems to have been introduced with today's site update) and am waiting for a reply and hopefully a fix. In the meantime, if you want to see the former "Contents" format, create a user log-in at the link given above, and you should be able to see it. Una74 (talk) 07:21, November 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * I went ahead and reformatted the school/position titles above in H2 so everyone can see them in the TOC because I'm not sure when Wikia is getting around to fixing the bug. If anyone is still having problems viewing the TOC, please let me know.
 * Great! Thanks so much.
