WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY wishes to announce two new positions in Film Studies 
to
begin in 2000-2001.  Both are tenure-track positions which require a Ph.D.
in Film Studies.  The first hire will be for an experienced Assistant or
Associate Professor with up to five years of teaching experience, and a
strong scholarly record.  The second is an entry-level position, requiring
evidence of scholarly promise and excellent teaching ability.  These
positions should reflect one or more of the following areas of specialty:
history of cinema and television, genre studies, directorial studies,
theory, women's studies, history of technology and business, TV studies,
formalism, international cinemas, documentary, and minority studies.  Both
candidates must also have knowledge of basic
production techniques, as Wesleyan's program is solidly grounded in the
wedding of theory and practice, but there is no requirement for teaching
production as a part of either position.  Strong consideration will be
given to the teaching records of the candidates, willingness to 
participate
in the further expansion of a burgeoning program, and scholarship.  The
searches will open as of July 1, 1999, and may extend for eighteen
months or until both positions are filled.  Please submit CV's and writing
