Mount Royal University is accepting applications for a full-time tenure track position at the rank of Assistant Professor in the area of Film Studies to commence July 1, 2024, subject to budgetary approval.

New faculty are hired into one of two work patterns. The teaching/scholarship/service pattern (TSS) focuses on teaching with the requirement that the faculty member establish and maintain a research program and is involved in service to the Mount Royal community. The teaching service pattern (TS) has a focus on teaching and service only. The successful candidate for this position will be hired into the teaching/scholarship/service pattern (TSS). There is an option to change work patterns after tenure. The TSS pattern typically requires faculty members to teach six three-credit three-hour classes per academic year. The average class is approximately 30 students.

Research and service opportunities may include supervision of research assistants or Honours students. The Office of Research, Scholarship and Community Engagement (ORSCE) provides support for research and scholarly activities.

Qualifications
A Ph.D. in Film Studies is required, as is an emerging or established body of scholarly work in Film Studies. The following would be considered assets: filmmaking experience, connections to film/digital storytelling communities, or additional areas of expertise relevant to our program.
The successful candidate must possess the ability to teach several undergraduate Film Studies courses currently offered in the Mount Royal University Calendar.
