Description
Assistant Professor of Theater and Performance Studies

The Department of Performing Arts invites applications for a full-time tenure-line faculty position in Theater and Performance Studies with an emphasis on performance studies and media studies at the rank of Assistant Professor to begin August 2024. As a scholarly discipline that uses performance as a theoretical lens and tool to study both theatrical and socio-political events, performance studies offers rich connections to traditional theater, to forms of civic engagement such as street protest and community organizing, to civic poetics and structures (memorials; civic architecture and design). Possible areas of emphasis include: media and film studies, emergent forms such as digital and virtual reality (VR), performance and design, and global performance histories. The successful candidate will be expected to teach one of the core courses for the major/minor, as well as one upper-division undergraduate topical seminar. The teaching load is 4 courses per year, with accompanying undergraduate advising, service on departmental committees, and service to the College. Applicants may also demonstrate qualifications to teach devising strategies, production, directing, design, or writing across media.



Qualifications
Ph.D. in hand by July 1, 2024. Our program is distinguished by its integration of scholarly and creative excellence. Faculty generate partnerships with artistic and civic organizations in Washington DC and throughout the world, reflecting the interdisciplinary commitment to humanistic inquiry. Our program is housed in the Department of Performing Arts, which also includes programs in Music and American Culture as well as Dance and Public Speaking. The ideal candidate will demonstrate a commitment to academic excellence and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). This commitment to DEI can be demonstrated in a number of ways, including through teaching and research on matters related to DEI or through service that has fostered DEI in a university community.
