JOB ANNOUNCEMENT AT CU BOULDER
Digital Cinema Artist:
The Film Studies Program at the University of Colorado, Boulder is searching
for qualified candidates for its new tenure-track position in Digital Moving
Image Art production. We anticipate hiring at the assistant professor level.
However, applications at other levels will be considered from those who
would strengthen the Department's diversity. The Film Studies Program at
CU-Boulder has a longstanding record of supporting innovation in the art of
cinema. The late Stan Brakhage taught for over twenty years within the CU
Boulder Film Studies area. The program has a distinguished faculty with
established creative and scholarly careers. Film Studies is committed to
interdisciplinary teaching, and explores narrative, documentary, and
avant-garde cinema.
Film Studies offers degrees in filmmaking (BFA) as well as critical studies
(BA). We have recently added to our offerings an interdisciplinary MFA
degree in collaboration with the Department of Art and Art History. The Film
Studies BA emphasizes the study of the nuances of film as an art form and
the BFA is focused on the art of independent filmmaking. International film
is an important component of our critical studies offerings. Film Studies
also supports two major regional film exhibition venues: The International
Film Series and First Person Cinema. These programs provide the campus with
an eclectic range of guest filmmakers and exhibition programs. Housed in the
new $34 million dollar Alliance for Technology, Learning and Society

terminal degree in the field, a record of outstanding creative work in the

experience. A background in filmmaking is desirable, and candidates should
demonstrate proficiency in relevant digital technology. Teaching
responsibilities for the Digital Cinema Artist will include the development
of new classes in Digital Cinema, teaching at both the graduate and
undergraduate levels, serving on graduate thesis committees, and
participating in university service.
