Jobbeschreibung

The Department of Theatre, Dance, and Performance Studies at Tufts University invites applications for a full-time, non-tenure-track Assistant Teaching Professor with expertise in Directing with an anticipated start date in late August 2027. Given the Department’s commitment to both student and faculty success, we are confident that our new faculty member will find an intellectual and creative home at Tufts as well as an enthusiastic and engaged classroom environment.

Responsibilities for this faculty position include: teaching the equivalent of six courses per year to be divided between classroom instruction and the regular direction of plays and/or musicians in the Department’s mainstage season; mentoring undergraduate directors; advising majors and non-majors; and departmental and university service. Candidates should be prepared to teach Directing I, Directing 2, and additional courses in their areas of expertise. Additional areas of expertise that would be welcome include (but are not limited to): writing for performance, acting, digital media and performance, arts leadership, adaptation, and/or movement/physical theatre. Given our department’s close relationship with the Film and Media Studies Program, we also welcome applications from candidates whose work extends beyond theatre direction to film, television, and new media. We are seeking a new colleague who is excited to work in a liberal arts setting with students who are passionate about many things and who are eager to combine their studies of theatre and performance with other pursuits.

This is an academic year, benefited 2-year position and is renewable contingent upon performance. Assistant Teaching Professors at Tufts University are unionized, with the potential for long-term careers with promotional advancement within the Teaching Professor ranks.

Tufts University, founded in 1852, prioritizes quality teaching, highly competitive basic and applied research, and a commitment to active citizenship locally, regionally, and globally.
