Hampshire College, an independent, innovative liberal arts institution and member of the Five College consortium, is accepting applications for a full-time Assistant Professor of Video and Film beginning July 1, 2014.

 We seek candidates who are actively engaged artists with demonstrated successful teaching at the undergraduate level.  Candidates should teach moving image production in a range of mediums. Successful candidates will also incorporate art historical, critical and philosophical ideas and/or writings in their teaching– as well as addressing current transnational and cross-cultural practices.

 Practice and research as well as teaching may draw upon a broad range of experiences in video, film, sound, performance, photography, animation, experimental media and emerging technologies. Areas such as cultural studies, cinema studies and activism may inform this work. Demonstrated expertise in at least two of the following approaches is required: experimental, narrative, documentary and hybrid forms.

Ability to communicate and work effectively within a culturally diverse and multi-disciplinary campus community and within a program that includes photography, installation and performance studies is also important. Qualified candidates must have an MFA (or its equivalent) and a significant exhibition record. The position involves substantial student advising, program and course development and college governance.
