Position description

The Department of Communication Studies in the Faculty of Arts and Science

Intermedia Production at the rank of Assistant Professor. We are seeking
candidates with expertise in one or more of the following areas: expanded
cinema, critical audio narratives, non-linear/interactive forms, and/or
related practices. As a humanities-oriented department with a founding
tradition of concern for social justice, we value diversity among our
faculty and strongly encourage candidates whose creative work and academic
research engages with issues of racial and gender inequality, LGBTQ rights,
Indigenous rights, economic inequality, critical disabilities, and other
related areas. The successful candidate will be expected to teach technical
approaches along with critical histories and theories that explore
different political, ethical, and institutional frameworks of media
production. Additional university-level teaching experience in moving
images and sound is an asset. The successful candidate should also have an
active practice in creating and exhibiting intermedia-based work at a
professional level. Duties will include developing and leading
research-creation projects, teaching production and theory courses at the
graduate and undergraduate level, managing two computer teaching labs with
the assistance of technical staff and service to the department, the
institution, and the wider scholarly community.
Qualifications and assets

Candidates must have completed their PhD in Media or a cognate Humanities
or Fine Arts area by the start date of the appointment. Qualified
candidates must be media makers/scholars who have the expertise to teach
media production in an academic context, have professional experience or up
to date skills with new production technologies, and have experience with
innovative forms of media-making.

The main criteria for selection are scholarly and teaching excellence. The
successful candidate will provide evidence of high-quality scholarly output
that demonstrates potential for independent research leading to peer
assessed publications and the securing of external research funding, as
well as strong potential for outstanding teaching contributions at both the
undergraduate and graduate levels. Candidates are encouraged to share any
career interruptions or personal circumstances that may have had an impact
on their career goals in their letter of application. These will be
carefully considered in the assessment process. The Department values
diversity among its faculty and strongly encourages applications from women
and members of underrepresented groups. Concordia University is an
English-language institution of higher learning at which the primary
language of instruction and research is English. Since this position
supports academic functions of the university, proficiency in English is
required. Working knowledge of French is an asset.
