The University of the South’s Department of Theatre & Dance invites applications for a Visiting Assistant Professor to begin July 1, 2021. We seek a theatre artist/scholar with experience as a professional director and teacher. This is a one-year appointment, with an anticipated tenure-track opening the following year.

The department’s faculty values diversity, and we’re eager to develop increased theatrical innovation. A small but vibrant department, we are housed in the Tennessee Williams Center, a facility built by a remarkable bequest of the royalties from his plays.

The successful candidate will teach courses in Directing and Theatre History, and will direct one mainstage production on campus. They will be encouraged to continue to work professionally as an artist and/or scholar. We are located one hour from Chattanooga, 1.5 hours from Nashville, and 2.5 hours from Atlanta.

Qualified candidates should have an MFA or PhD.

Candidates must demonstrate a strong commitment to excellence in teaching.

Applicants should provide through the application portal a cover letter, curriculum vitae, transcripts (unofficial accepted), a 1-2 page statement of teaching philosophy, which should include ideas about fostering an inclusive atmosphere in your classroom, three letters of reference* and optionally, a link to a professional website or video file (.flv or .mov) of artistic work.

*Letters of recommendation may be submitted electronically directly from the referees or via dossier services to Kristen Godsey, Assistant for Finance & Administration, at fachire@sewanee.edu.

Applications from women and BIPOC are encouraged.
