Professor/Associate Professor in Film
Victoria University of Wellington is committed to the future development of its creative disciplines. The city of Wellington – the arts centre of New Zealand – is home to a thriving theatre scene, Toi Whakaari the New Zealand Drama School, the International Institute of Modern Letters, the National Library, the New Zealand Film Archive, Te Papa the National Museum, Weta Digital, Park Road Post, and the New Zealand Film Commission. Victoria University’s specialist film programme offers a wide range of innovative theoretical and practical courses. The University seeks to build on these strengths through the creation of this new senior position.
The Professor/Associate Professor will provide leadership in teaching and research and will play a key role in the establishment of an exciting new venture – a proposed Centre for New Cinema and an interdisciplinary Master of Cinema Arts degree.
The successful candidate will be expected to have a PhD in film studies or a related discipline, substantial tertiary teaching experience, and an established international research profile. Applications are also welcome from appropriately qualified people with film-making experience. The ability to build positive working relationships within the discipline, to work in an interdisciplinary context, and to develop productive relationships with government and industry partners is also important.
