PROD – CLINICAL ASSISTANT PROFESSOR IN FILM (DIRECTING FILM/TELEVISION)

Loyola Marymount University’s School of Film and Television invites applications for a Clinical Assistant Professor in Cinema in the area of directing film/television, for a one-year appointment in the Department of Film and Television Production. This is a non-tenure-position. This is a full-time faculty role with competitive salary and benefits. The position is anticipated to start in August 2022.

The Department of Film & Television Production is looking for candidates with experience directing long-format fiction film or television episodes, candidates with an established, successful record in short filmmaking will also be considered. Applicants must have a proven distribution record or festival play (we welcome non-traditional distribution platforms, as well as well as diverse festivals).

The successful candidate will primarily be teaching courses in the “directing/production”-sequence, i.e. courses where students produce & direct a short film over the course of one or two semesters.

The selected candidate will be expected to teach the required full-time teaching load of three (3) courses per semester. The candidate will be required to advise and mentor students in their course- and career-choices in the field, and to provide service to the department.

LMU’s School Film and Television is a Top Ten Film School located in the heart of Los Angeles with a new state-of-the-art facility in Silicon Beach.  SFTV provides a comprehensive graduate and undergraduate education through small class size, creative collaboration, and a launch into the industry.  The LMU community is comprised of faculty, staff, and students from a wide range of culturally diverse backgrounds.

The Production Department and School of Film and Television jointly desire to identify expert individuals from diverse backgrounds and/or experiences to join the college’s faculty. Inclusive excellence is a critical part of the university’s mission and a key pedagogical dimension of the college. Accordingly, all applicants must have a desire to teach a student body which is diverse with respect to socio-economic status, ability, culture, academic interests, and career paths.

This position requires a strong commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Anti-racism along with interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation. To that end, we will ask candidates to submit a statement discussing how they approach DEI-A and interdisciplinarity in their scholarship, teaching and professional work. The position will be grounded in a home department with primary disciplinary teaching responsibility, and the expected collaborative sensibilities of informing students in the adjacent departments and units in the school.

Evidence of professional practice in directing fiction films (film or television) through commercial distribution or extensive festival play
