Job Announcement

The Screen Studies Program in the Department of Visual and Performing 
Arts at Clark University seeks to hire a tenure-track Assistant 
Professor in Screen Studies with expertise in national cinemas in a 
global context to begin in Fall 2007. Candidates must also be able to 
teach a survey of world cinema plus a range of general courses in film 
and media studies. A PhD is required. Clark is a private liberal arts 
university committed to excellence in teaching as well as research, and 
ideal candidates will have demonstrated potential in both aspects. 
Visual and Performing Arts is an interdisciplinary undergraduate 
department that also includes studio art, art history, music, and 
theater arts, so candidates are expected to explore innovative, 
cross-disciplinary subjects with other department faculty. Screen 
Studies offers a major and a minor, and maintains a connection with 
Clark’s program in Communication and Culture.

Review of applications will begin November 1, 2006. Please send a cover 
letter, CV, a recent writing sample, a syllabus for a relevant course,  
and three letters of recommendation, to Benjamin Korstvedt, Chair, 
SCREEN SEARCH, Department of Visual and Performing Arts, Clark 
University, 950 Main Street., Worcester, MA, 01610. You may also send
