Occidental College’s Media Arts & Culture Department (MAC) invites applications for a Visiting Assistant Professor of Film/Media Production and Screenwriting for a 1-year full-time, terminal appointment beginning August 2025. We are seeking a film/video/media practitioner with a compelling body of fiction and/or nonfiction work. The candidate should be able to teach artistic and technical film/media production skills as well as screenwriting and demonstrate a commitment to high-impact teaching and to fostering an inclusive learning environment.
The new hire will teach 6 courses total (3 in Fall, 3 in Spring) including Introduction to Screenwriting and introductory and advanced courses in film/media production. The production courses cover a range of project forms. Therefore, the successful candidate must demonstrate expertise in either fiction or nonfiction filmmaking. We define fiction and non-fiction expansively and experience creating experimental, new media, and hybrid work is a plus. Our production courses incorporate artistic and technical subjects. Therefore, the successful candidate must be able to teach students the nuts-and-bolts of planning a production and the use of current camera and media production equipment as well as introductory and intermediate post-production software/skills. The candidate will also teach introductory screenwriting and must demonstrate the ability to teach that subject.
Our ideal candidate will help us continue developing and supporting our signature approach to media arts and culture, which combines media history, theory, and practice; leverages Occidental’s location in Los Angeles; and manifests our four cornerstones of Excellence, Equity, Community, and Service. Black, Latina/o/x, Asian American, Native American, and other historically underrepresented candidates are encouraged to apply.
The position requires an MFA or terminal degree in film/media production or screenwriting at time of appointment or equivalent professional experience.
