Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts at Brock University, invites applications for a probationary tenure-track appointment at the rank of Assistant Professor in theatre and performance studies with expertise in an area of study such as indigenous performance, queer theory, postcolonialism, or related fields.</p> <br> <b>Qualifications</b> <br> <br> <p>Preference will be given to those with demonstrated interest in pre-20th century areas of specialization. The ideal candidate will have the capacity to engage in departmental production activity, specifically the conceptualization and direction of departmental main-stage events and other performance-related outcomes. Applicants should be able to teach courses with mixed studio/lecture components as well as larger-scale survey courses and independent study in a fashion consonant with key contemporary theoretical and pedagogical trends in theatre and performance studies. The successful candidate will have a doctoral degree and be able to contribute to graduate programs in the Faculty of Humanities such as the MA program in Studies in Comparative Literatures and Arts and the new PhD program in Interdisciplinary Humanities.</p> <br> <b>Notes</b> <br> <br> <p>The Department of Dramatic Arts addresses the study, application, and interrogation of theatre and performance as cultural and educational practices. All degree offerings are united under one goal: to integrate theory and practice so as to provide students with a broad educational base combining research, practice, and creative development. Pedagogical practices as well as performance, design, and technical skills are theorized and integrated in various ways with the study of critical thinking, theatre history, dramaturgy, and dramatic literature. Annual events include two major productions, as well as various other symposia and events, including upper-year course outcomes. The appointment will begin July 1, 2012. <br> <br> The Department of Dramatic Arts offers a BA Honours in Dramatic Arts. For Honours students, <br> Concentrations are available in Applied Theatre and Drama in Education, Performance, Production and Design, and Theatre Praxis.
