The Film and Media Studies Program at Smith College invites applications for a full-time, two-year position at the rank of
Visiting Assistant Professor, to begin July 1, 2018. We seek candidates whose work centers on global television studies;
additional expertise in television in the era of digital platforms, the history of television, film studies, and/or critical race
studies is desirable. Candidates must have a demonstrated commitment to teaching and supporting underrepresented
student groups. Faculty from underrepresented groups are encouraged to apply. Ph.D. in Media Studies, or a related
discipline, is expected by time of appointment.
The successful candidate will create and teach a Global History of Television course as one of five courses taught per
academic year. Other teaching responsibilities may include Introduction to Film and Media Studies and Theories and
Methods of Film and Media Studies, but the position will offer plenty of opportunity for the successful candidate to teach
intermediate-level electives and advanced seminars of their own design in television studies. Other responsibilities may
include co-organizing the Five College Undergraduate Film and Media Conference, serving as a faculty juror for the Five
College Student Film Festival, and programming occasional speakers and events.
