About the opportunity

The successful candidate will have the option of working remotely for some of the time, although in-person presence at Dalhousie University is strongly preferred for at least one teaching semester.

Applications will include a curriculum vitae, a statement of research and teaching interests and philosophies, evidence of teaching effectiveness (formal course evaluations), and the contact information for three referees (applicants selected for further consideration will be notified before referees are contacted). While most courses have been scheduled for next year, there is some flexibility around the specific classes the successful applicant will teach; therefore, please include in you application a cover letter that indicates the topic you would choose for a 4th-year Special Topics in Cinema and Media Studies course. Please also indicate which of the following courses you would feel comfortable teaching, and of these, which two you would be most interested in teaching: Animated Film; Film History Since 1955; Indigenous Representation in Film; Popular Cinema; Studies in Film Directors; and Topics in Black and African Diaspora Cinemas. Please also include a statement describing a demonstrated commitment to Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Accessibility within your cover letter. Applications are to be submitted online here.

The deadline for applications is May 22, 2023.

All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority.
