- an ability to serve as a mentor and professional liaison for students;
- evidence of high-quality teaching, demonstrated ability to teach a range of core film editing and production courses as well as courses related to the production of documentary and fiction narrative student films;
- commitment to our values of equity, diversity, and inclusion as it pertains to service, teaching, and scholarly research or creative activities, including a demonstrated ability to make learning accessible and inclusive for a diverse student population; and
- an ability and willingness to contribute to collegial service, leadership and a desire to help shape the future direction of the School.
