  • strong emerging scholarly research and/or creative activity that is current, innovative and impactful as evidenced by, but not limited to, peer-reviewed publications, presentations at academic conferences, community and professional work, grants, research related awards and creative production that contributes to the visibility and prominence of the discipline;
  • 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.

The School of Image Arts offers undergraduate and graduate (Master’s) programs to students of diverse backgrounds. The School’s professionally-focused undergraduate curriculum supports programs in Photography and Film and it is recognized as a national and international centre for creative innovation in the study, production, exhibition, and research of film, photography and digital arts. Its innovative graduate programs include the MFA in Documentary Media, the MA in Film + Photographic Preservation and Collections Management and an interdisciplinary program in Scriptwriting and Story Design (MFA).

The School of Image Arts is committed to the principles of equity, diversity and inclusion, and to the development of an increasingly diversified faculty. The School strongly encourages applications from candidates who self-identify as Black, racialized (also referred to as visible or racial minorities), First Nations, Métis and Inuit Peoples and Indigenous Peoples of North America, persons with disabilities, and those who identify as women and/or 2SLGBTQ+.
