The Department of English at North Carolina State University invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track assistant professor position in Film and Media Studies. This hire will contribute to our undergraduate and graduate concentrations in Film Studies, as well as to our nationally
recognized PhD program in Communication, Rhetoric, & Digital Media (CRDM). Applicants should have a PhD in Film and Media Studies or a related field as well as a strong publication and teaching record.

Tenure-track faculty teach a 2-2 load of both undergraduate and graduate (MA- and PhD-level) courses. Candidates are expected to maintain an active research and publication program and to participate in both professional and university service. Letters of application should address how candidates will add to the program’s reputation for innovative teaching, scholarship, and community outreach. Letters should also address if candidates have demonstrated experience engaging with diversity through activities such as fostering an inclusive environment, working with students from diverse backgrounds, or incorporating diverse perspectives in research.


NC State and the Research Triangle are rich with academic and cultural resources. NC State’s award-winning libraries provide research and teaching support along with access to facilities such as the Visualization Studio and Immersion Theater to facilitate creative research, media-
making, and pedagogy. The Digital Humanities initiative at NC State (part of a Triangle university consortium that includes Duke and UNC-Chapel Hill and is tied to the National Humanities Center) provides another avenue for research as well as leadership. The Triangle boasts a vibrant film culture with film festivals such as the Full Frame Documentary Festival, repertory and arthouse screenings at area museums like the North Carolina Museum of Art and Nasher Museum, as well as at commercial theaters such as The Rialto and Alamo Drafthouse.
