Posting #: F 38/2005

Responsibilities
Brock University invites applications for a tenure-track appointment 
teaching Acting and Voice in the Department of Dramatic Arts (DART),

and 
is expected to be at the rank of Assistant Professor.

Qualifications
Candidates should possess an MFA specializing in Voice and Acting, 
demonstrate excellence in teaching at the post secondary level and have 
substantial accomplishments in creative research. This appointment will 
teach second and third year acting courses, supervise students in 
productions such as the Spring Arts Festival and may be asked to direct
or 
participate in main stage production. The preferred candidate should
have 
broad experience in the practice of theatre in professional and other 
communities, and an interest in praxis, the integration of theory with 
practice that characterizes our dynamic department. In addition,
expertise 
in one or more of the following areas would be an asset: directing, 
interdisciplinary performance, drama in education and society, mixed
media 
performance, critical performance theory, a physical discipline such as 
Yoga, Laban, martial arts practice or fight choreography.

DART offers a BA and a BA Honours in Theatre, Dramatic Literature or
Drama 
in Education and Society; a four-year BA in Theatre; a concurrent BA/B
Ed 
and Co-op options in Drama in Education and Society, Theatre and
Dramatic 
Literature. Further a Certificate in Drama in Education is offered. The 
program currently has six tenured or tenure-track faculty, two full time

technical staff, and several part-time instructors drawn from education
and 
from the professional theatre. More information on DART can be found on
the 
website www.brocku.ca/dramatic_arts/

All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and

permanent residents will be given priority. Brock University is
committed 
to a positive action policy aimed at reducing gender imbalance. The
salary 
is competitive and commensurate with qualifications.

Applications will be accepted until January 15, 2006 and should be 
submitted, with a curriculum vitae, a plan articulating creative
research 
direction for the next five years, and the names of three referees, to:

Application Deadline: Jan 15, 2006 
Assistant Professor - Dramatics Arts / Great Books/Liberal Studies 
Cross-Appointment
Posting #: F 33/2005

Responsibilities
Brock University's Department of Dramatic Arts (DART) and Centre for
Great 
Books/Liberal Studies (GBLS) invite applications for a tenure-track 
cross-appointment at the rank of assistant professor in theatre history 
before the twentieth century. In addition, expertise in one or more of
the 
following areas would be an asset: directing theatre, cultural
criticism, 
pedagogical innovation, drama in education and society, music, or the 
visual arts.

Qualifications
Applicants should have a Ph.D. or be very close to completion at the
time 
of application. The position is subject to final budgetary approval.

The successful candidate will teach courses such as DART 2F94, \"Theatre
as 
Cultural Practice I,\" and GBLS 3P90, \"Great Books Seminar III: Power, 
Reason and Imagination.\" The successful candidate will also demonstrate

substantial research accomplishments and be committed to playing a
dynamic 
part in the collaborative development of interdisciplinary research and 
teaching, in particular contributing to a new undergraduate liberal arts

program that is developing out of GBLS. DART offers courses in three
main 
streams: Theatre, Dramatic Literature, and Drama in Education and
Society. 
Candidates should have an interest in praxis, the integration of theory 
with practice that characterizes DART. Courses in GBLS focus on the 
classics of Western (and occasionally non-Western) literature, thought
and 
art (covering the social and natural sciences as well as the humanities
and 
fine arts), and emphasis is placed on reading and discussing primary
texts.

The successful candidate will be based in the Department of Dramatic
Arts 
but will divide teaching responsibilities equally between DART and GBLS
and 
should therefore feel comfortable working in both settings.

Notes
Applications will be accepted until January 31, 2006, and should be 
submitted with a curriculum vitae, research plan, a short statement on 
teaching, and the names of three referees to: Gyllian Raby, Department
of 
Dramatic Arts, Brock University, St. Catharines, ON, L2S 3A1.

All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply: however, Canadians and

permanent residents will be given priority. Brock University is
committed 
to a positive action policy aimed at reducing gender imbalance in
faculty; 
qualified women and men are equally encouraged to apply. Information on 
Brock University may be found on the University website www.BrockU.ca.
