The Department of Communication & Theatre Arts at ODU is seeking a full-time professor (Tenure track, Assistant or Associate level) with substantial Cinema/TV post-production experience to help lead an expanding program in Cinema and Television production in a top-50 media market. ODU's Film Program places an emphasis on students being hands-on; the program delves deep into production in an experiential learning environment. This professor will act as a post-production supervisor for the program, overseeing both the academic components of teaching post-production, as well as the post-production of our Departmental films, possibly including feature films. As a tenure-track appointment, a demonstrated ongoing body of scholarly or creative research is necessary, however, this research is not limited in scope to the arena of post-production. Preference will be given to applicants with experience teaching film studies classes and/or experience in multimedia production that melds film, theater, dance, and other creative fields. The successful candidate will have a demonstrable commitment to promoting and enhancing diversity.
