CRITICAL STUDIES IN FILM & DIGITAL MEDIA
Assistant or Associate Professor
The Film & Digital Media Department at the University of California, Santa Cruz, invites applications for Assistant Professor (tenure track) or Associate Professor (tenured) in critical studies. We are seeking a hybrid artist/scholar or a scholar who works in the area of experimental practices across fiction and non-fiction. A secondary specialty in any of the following areas would be particularly desirable: histories of technology, media cultures and/or the avant-garde, especially as they relate to the genealogy of cinema to digital; global or transnational media; or studies of race.
The Film & Digital Media Department offers a Ph.D. designed to challenge traditional borders between creative and critical practice and a B.A. that emphasizes both critical studies and production. Our curriculum addresses the history, theory and production of film, television, video and digital media across a range of global and historical contexts. The program currently serves approximately 550 undergraduate majors and four doctoral students. The Film & Digital Media Department is in the Division of the Arts, which also includes Departments of Art, History of Art and Visual Culture, Music, Theater Arts, the M.F.A. Program in Digital Arts/New Media, and Ph.D. programs in Music, Visual Studies and Film & Digital Media. UCSC is also home to a Master’s program in Social Documentation. There are opportunities for scholarly and teaching connections in these areas, as well as with colleagues and programs in the Humanities and Social Sciences divisions and the School of Engineering. The Arts Division supports faculty research through the Arts Research Institute http://artsites.ucsc.edu/ari/; the campus supports research and teaching with grants awarded by the Committee on Research, the Committee on Teaching, and other groups.
We are especially interested in candidates who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community through their research, teaching and service.
