Probationary Tenure-Track Position: Theatre and Performance Studies

The Department of Dramatic Arts, part of the Marilyn I. 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. 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.

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.

The Department of Dramatic Arts offers a BA Honours in Dramatic Arts.  
For Honours students, Concentrations are available in Applied Theatre  
and Drama in Education, Performance, Production and Design, and  
Theatre Praxis. The Department also offers a four-year (20 credit) BA  
with Major Dramatic Arts degree and a three-year BA Pass degree, as  
well as two concurrent BA (Honours)/BEd programs over five years. For  
more information, see http://www. brocku.ca/dramaticarts.

In 2014-15 the entire Marilyn I. Walker School will move to its new  
home at the site of an historic building in downtown St. Catharines,  
adjacent to a new regional performing arts centre built by the City of  
St. Catharines.

Deadline for completed applications is November 15, 2011. Applicants  
should send a curriculum vitae; support material related to creative  
production and research; evidence of successful teaching, including a  
one-page statement of teaching philosophy; plus arrange for three  
confidential letters of reference to be mailed to:
