Hi! There is a job posting for Wichita State in the Latin/x/a/e history field but it is listed in the "Mixed Hire" category instead of main one for history and Latinx studies. How do we get this changed to an active page where people know it exists instead of this catch-all ...dare I say...backwater?
What's on your mind?

2024/25 Call for Applications in Creative Writing, Part Time, Deadline Dec. 22 at 11:59pm, NT/PT
For pragmatic reasons, ordering these listings alphabetically by institution makes little sense. It forces regular users to read the entire list, each time they visit, to find whether there are new listings. And that would require familiarity with the previous listings, just to notice something new. Two better alternatives would be to list jobs in the order of their deadlines OR to list them in the order in which they are added to this list. That way, people can track either the ones that are still open or just the ones that are new. But is anyone actually tracking these alphabetically? That just seems arbitrary and impractical. Nonetheless, I appreciate the work that goes into the list. Thank you.
Hello all, I'm new here and will be on the academic job market this Fall'23 hopefully for a fulltime position in 2024. Thank you for creating this community.

We encourage applications from individuals who identify as members of communities underrepresented in the broad field of contemporary performance.
SCA Theatre-Performance
At the School for the Contemporary Arts, (SCA) we study performance as a worldmaking art practice; as a frame for encountering the past, present, and future; and as open questions we ask through rigorous studio experimentation: What can performance do? Why make performance now? What new forms can performance take within a contemporary context? What is the future of live performance? At SCA, we empower students to collaborate across disciplines, become versatile artists, and expand the field of live performance. In the Performance BFA track, students explore a broad range of genres and forms, including devised theatre, live art, and social practice. Our program deviates from traditional theatre training by experimenting with contemporary processes of performance, unconventional narrative styles, expanded dramaturgy, experimental forms, new media and creative research. We examine how the fundamentals of performance—time, space, body, text, movement—help us stage our burning political questions, enact necessary social interventions, and advance the broad aesthetic fields of contemporary art.
We seek a colleague to expand the pedagogic aim and scope of our program by supporting performance practices and research beyond traditional theatre training. Our emergent studio and hybrid studio-seminar courses serve six core-curricular groupings in the newly conceived Performance program: Live Acts (a wide range of studio courses on live forms and genres); Body (studio courses on embodiment and movement); Social (exploring collaboration and participation; integrating social practice and activist artmarking): Environment (from site specificity to staged ecologies); Digital / New Media (from live to pre-recorded; extended reality to interactive installation); and Creative Research (courses that train students in experimental methods of research, from expanded dramaturgy to practice based research).
Candidate Qualifications
● A vibrant and continuing performance research-creation practice with significant creative output in one or more of the following areas: live art, devised/postdramatic theatre, social practice, post-studio practice, art intervention, digital/multimedia, extended reality, immersive/site specific, expansive choreographic practice, and/or design-led creation.
● An artist-scholar practice which includes multi-modal research and creative-critical writing, experience connecting theory to practice across a range of topics connected to expanded, mediated, non-traditional theatre and performance practices; commitment to interdisciplinary collaboration.
● Ability to clearly articulate the theoretical and historical contexts of their area of creative research.
● Experience working effectively, flexibly, collaboratively, and ethically with diverse communities of artists, educators and students across the university and local groups.
● Capacity for excellence in teaching and mentorship across areas of research, context, process, and technique.
● Established interest and capability in self-sufficient, hands-on making as well as the ability to guide and unify full-scale productions with modest resources.
● MA, MFA, or PhD in a field or discipline of relevance.
Candidate Assets
● Interest and capability in working with an anti-racist and decolonial framework to develop coursework; commitment to challenging Western training conventions and hierarchies of knowledge; and ability to incorporate sustainable practices and values in observance of building anti-racist production models.
● History of collaborations or exchange in producing original contemporary performance.
● Experience with development and presentation of original work internationally.
● Interest in collaboratively building new curricula and contributing to the articulation of the future of the area.
● Experience in supporting and mentoring post-grad students.

Position Responsibilities
● Teaching and mentoring undergraduate and graduate students within and across programs at SCA. The normal teaching load for a research faculty member is four courses (or their equivalent) annually.
● Hands-on supervision of creative student projects outside of class time; student mentorship.
● Maintaining and developing robust artistic and creative research practices.
● Under SFU policy, research responsibilities require faculty to maintain a program of active artistic practice at local, national, and international levels outside of the university. Research at the School for The Contemporary Arts within SFU is defined as the generation of knowledge and innovation through artistic expression, experimentation, and/or scholarship.
● Contribute to the advancement and growth of the School; assist in student recruitment.
● The School is committed to an open, collegial, and inclusive style of governance. The position will contribute to this shared governance and advancement of SCA mission through service and committee participation. Under SFU policy, service also refers to “the annual contributions that faculty make to university governance, to their profession, to the development of their discipline nationally, internationally or locally, and to the furthering of good relations between the university and the local community.”
