The Department of English in the College of Arts and Sciences at North Central College invites applications for an ongoing lecturer, which is a non tenure-track appointment, in film & screen studies, to begin Fall 2024. The successful candidate will regularly teach in both in film & screen studies, at the introductory and advanced levels, and in first-year writing, with opportunities to teach beyond this, based on expertise. The film & screen program, housed in the English department, is an interdisciplinary minor. The program offers a popular suite of courses in our general education curriculum, Cardinal Directions.

A Ph.D. or MFA in Film Studies or cognate discipline preferred, with MA considered. Applicants must demonstrate commitment to excellence in teaching and mentoring of students. Evidence of effectiveness in teaching first-year writing and in mentoring students' transition to college will be weighed in a candidate's favor. A candidate whose work incorporates film theory and its practice is desired but not required.

North Central College values diversity, equity and inclusion and strongly encourages candidates who would enrich the diversity of the campus community to apply. Experience working with diverse student populations and communities is highly desirable.
