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.

The application deadline is October 15, 2012.
