Connecticut College - TT Asst. Professor, Film Studies
The Film Studies program at Connecticut College invites applications for a tenure-track assistant professor position in Film Studies beginning in August 2014. Required: Ph.D. in hand at time of appointment, a record of outstanding scholarly work, excellent teaching on a college level, and experience teaching introductory and advanced film theory and criticism courses. The person we hire will be responsible for teaching the program’s core courses, Film 101 and Film 202, as well as advanced courses in the candidate’s specialization. Applicants who specialize in all areas of film theory and criticism will be considered. The Film Studies Program recognizes the need to support and enhance our students’ media, visual, technology, and information literacies through the close textual analyses of a varied range of moving image representations and works. The ideal candidate will have an understanding of film and its transformation as it has moved into different platforms (including video and digital media). The program is especially interested in candidates whose research and teaching focus on representations of race and ethnicity in contemporary moving image culture, and/or the industries that construct and inform those representations. Our new faculty member’s research and scholarship would ideally foster productive connections with Connecticut College’s Center for the Comparative Study of Race and Ethnicity (http://www.conncoll.edu/academic-centers/ccsre/).

Film Studies is a vibrant program with approximately 45 majors and minors, housed in the Department of Theater (http://www.conncoll.edu/academics/majors-departments-programs/academic-programs/film-studies/). We are seeking an enthusiastic and dynamic candidate who is engaged in interdisciplinary work and is eager to support and diversify our undergraduate offerings in ways specifically suited to a liberal arts environment. The candidate’s eagerness to advise and mentor students from a variety of disciplines and levels is crucial to our continuing commitment to a critically engaged and media literate student body. Part of that commitment entails the candidate’s aptitude in creating events, discussions, and academically challenging experiences outside of the classroom, not only for Film Studies students, but also for the larger Connecticut College academic community. Putting together screenings and panel discussions, and bringing in guest scholars and dynamic visiting lecturers are all part of this vision. We seek a candidate who can help us fulfill our college’s mission: “Connecticut College educates students to put the liberal arts into action as citizens in a global society” (http://www.conncoll.edu/at-a-glance/mission/).

Because of the small size of our classes, and the intimacy of our Film Studies courses, candidates should demonstrate dedication to innovative and interactive teaching. An interest in pursuing diversity and diverse perspectives should be reflected in the candidate’s approach to teaching and in their course materials. Tenure-track faculty members teach a 3-2 load (2-2 in the first year). In addition to providing ongoing strong support for teaching and research, the College offers the following resources for pre-tenured faculty: a summer stipend for the first two years, a supplementary research fund, and a semester’s sabbatical after a successful third-year review. Salary is competitive.

Connecticut College is a private, highly selective institution with a demonstrated commitment to outstanding faculty teaching and research. Recognizing that intellectual vitality and diversity are inseparable, the College has embarked on a significantly successful initiative to diversify its faculty, student body, and curriculum. Connecticut College seeks scholars excited about working in a liberal arts setting, with its strong focus on engaged teaching, participation in shared governance, and active involvement in an institution-wide advancement of diversity. AA/EEO.

We will begin reviewing applications, with full consideration, on November 1, 2013, and will continue to do so until the position is filled. Candidates should upload a letter of application, curriculum vitae, a statement of teaching philosophy, teaching evaluations, three letters of recommendation (one of which must explicitly address the candidate’s teaching), one or two sample syllabi, and samples of written scholarship to filmsearch@conncoll.edu, c/o Dr. Nina K. Martin, Director, Film Studies Program, Box 5517, Connecticut College, 270 Mohegan Drive, New London, CT 06320. Any questions about the application process or a candidate’s status should be referred to Donna Holman at dthol@conncoll.edu, and at 860-439-2605.

I know someone who has a phone interview scheduled soon. (9/28) (Can someone confirm if this is legitimate? Bad grammar, "I know someone," and the absence of a confirmed interview date makes this seem odd).

OP here. I apologize for the "bad grammar." I'll blame the fact that I wrote the sentence when my brain was demanding sleep, but I also didn't take the care that I would have had I known my contribution was going to be critiqued in such a manner. I'm not sure what else I can say to prove that the information is valid. If you don't want to believe it's true, I suppose no one else suffers. The person who has a phone interview scheduled did not mention the date for which it is scheduled during our conversation, nor did I push him/her to do so since s/he knew I had applied for the same job and it was awkward enough without me pressing for details. (9/29)
 * OP: thanks for sharing what you know! (9/29)


 * Woah. I didn't mean to offend you, but your original post honestly looked like spam. (9/29)
 * Skype interviews were taking place today (9/30) and Friday the 27th. Anyone have a sense of why some had phone interviews and others Skype?
 * IMPORTANT:  Whoever pointed out the phantom "bad grammar" failed to make his/her subjects and verb agree in his/her response. (10/7)

Rejection (after preliminary interview):

Campus interview scheduled:


 * On-campus interviews scheduled for October (10/11). Where are you getting this information? I heard from a trusted source that campus visitis have not been scheduled yet. (10/15).
 * Do you know if candidates were contacted via phone or email?

NOTES:

I can't tell, but this job seems to have an inside higher. They currently have a VAP, (she got her BA from Whitman), that teaches the courses they call for. Anyone have any knowledge of this?

It's the posting of the job for less than a month that gives away the inside hire plan (and the *nickname* they use on the VAP's webpage?). Sure, send in the materials. But... a Sept 6 close date? that makes no sense unless they're interested in limiting the number of apps they get. Either that or they don't know what they're doing, which could be the case, I suppose. (9/6)

No knowledge of this but thanks for putting the word out on a possible insider hire. Kinda sucks as I just spent all day compiling application materials.

Since there are so many intervening factors in a job search, I'm generally reluctant to speculate about inside candidates, but in this case, the VAP is very strongly positioned to transition into a tenure line.

I AM a VAP someplace (not at Whitman) and let me tell you that places LOVE to pass over the VAPS for a juicier hire. Unless the VAP is sleeping with the chair or married to a tenure-track person already on the faculty, I really don't think that gives them much of an advantage if your qualifications are better or equal. (Believe me, I wish it did.) In fact, I often wonder if it isn't the VAPs themselves posting these "observations" in order to scare off competition. Don't be afraid to apply!

Jesus Christ this process is such utter bullshit. (10/6 through the end of time)

Care to elaborate on what led you to this assertion? (10/7)

Yes. (10/7) Would you share your thoughts? :) (10/8)

This reads like a renewal contract for the Lecturer they already have and is based on her exact teaching and service areas.

Is anyone thinking of applying to this position and the TT job at U. of Washington? I'm wondering if applying to both screams desperation and, if does, if that is a bad thing to scream?
