Summary

The Department of Film, Theatre, and Dance at San José State University invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant or advanced Assistant Professor of theatre with a specialization in directing. Our ideal candidate will have a strong foundation in directing for theatre and a successful record of working professionally in live performance. We anticipate the ideal candidate will also teach in our musical theatre minor, an emerging program with a robust recent history and enormous potential for growth. Additional teaching possibilities exist in collaboration with other programs at the university, specifically: performance studies, dance, music, or radio-television-film. Lastly, we encourage applicants with ancillary focus in any of the following: theatre for social change; global, diasporic, and/or indigenous theatre traditions; devised theatre; or narrative film directing.
