Guelph, Canada University of Guelph Full time

We are looking for a colleague who is both an active scholar/researcher and also an innovative and accomplished creative practitioner, with teaching assignments at the undergraduate and graduate levels (including graduate student supervisions in the Theatre Studies M.A. and Literary Studies/Theatre Studies Ph.D. programs). The appointment will commence on July 1, 2023.

The Theatre program within the School of English and Theatre Studies at the University of Guelph has a strong reputation for excellence in the education of theatre scholars and practitioners, and a commitment to innovation in teaching, research, and creative practice. As Theatre Studies is a small program and most courses have flexible content, all faculty members are expected to be able to cover most of our undergraduate course offerings. This includes directing undergraduate student productions. Our undergraduate program is built on an innovative curriculum that scaffolds students’ skills to prepare them to complete a capstone Ensemble project in which students are responsible for all aspects of a full theatre production. All our undergraduate courses are designed to provide students both critical and artistic skills, making clear connections between how research and creation impact one another. Many of our courses are highly invested in experiential learning, offering practical and creative knowledge-building within both academic and professional environments. The successful applicant will be joining us at an exciting moment, with the recent completion of the Arts Research Centre (ARC) providing a 140-seat black-box theatre, a 152-seat recital hall, and a new 160-seat performance lab for research in improvisation. The path forward for Theatre Studies will come through teaching, research, and service environments filled with new opportunities, including potential for enhanced cross-disciplinary collaborations and projects.

The School of English and Theatre Studies commits to centering equity and inclusion in our research, teaching, and community engagement. These efforts serve our mission as educators and work toward social justice. We strive to respect and promote diversity, inclusion, equity, and decoloniality by creating an environment that embodies these values in our recruitment, scholarship, research, education, and service. We support the College of Arts’ mission to unleash compassion, creativity, and critical engagement with the world through transformative education.

The University of Guelph is the third largest employer in Guelph, a city of approximately 130,000 people, located about an hour drive west of Toronto, Ontario. University of Guelph is a top-ranked comprehensive university in Canada with an enrolment of over 30,000 undergraduate and graduate students across over 40 academic units. The University is known for its commitment to student learning, innovative research, and collaboration with world-class partners. It is a unique place, with transformative research and teaching and a distinctive campus culture. People who learn and work here are shaped and inspired by a shared purpose: To Improve Life. Reflecting that shared purpose in every experience connected to our university positions us to create positive change, here and around the world. Our university community shares a profound sense of social responsibility, a drive for international development, and an obligation to address global issues.
