This is also primarily a production position; expertise in film studies is valued as well, but secondary to production skills.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• Demonstrated record of excellence in teaching, preferably in higher education.
• Experience in the animation or film industries.
• Specialties or notable accomplishments in animation or film production.

• Teach 24 credits per academic year, which generally amounts to four courses per semester; teaching assignments will include both upper- and lower-division classes; instruction will primarily be in-person.
• Serve on departmental and university-wide committees, take on service roles in the program, and perform other service duties as requested.
• Engage in scholarly activity within your discipline or in the scholarship of teaching and learning.
