Job Description

The Department of Cinematic Arts at the University of Iowa announces an open-rank search for two tenure-track faculty in Film & Video Production to begin in the 2025-26 academic year. This is a time of expansion for Film & Video Production at the University of Iowa, and we seek to hire colleagues who will help guide its future development and secure its success within the University of Iowa's thriving arts scene. Appointees will be expected to maintain a vigorous program of creative work with national and/or international visibility appropriate to rank; to teach successful courses in film, video and/or media production at all levels; to maintain an active profile in the profession; and to contribute fully to the shared service needs of the department or college. Hires at the rank of Associate or Full Professor should expect to share in departmental leadership roles as needed.

Building on a long and pioneering tradition of film education at the University of Iowa, Cinematic Arts is a comprehensive film department, bringing together artistic training in screenwriting and production with humanities-based inquiry in film and media studies, all positioned within the university's renowned culture of arts and creative writing. We offer a range of degrees, including a BA in Cinema, a BA in Screenwriting Arts, an MFA in Film & Video Production, and MA and PhD degrees in Film Studies. Our department has grown steadily for the past decade, now standing at nearly 450 majors and over 100 minors. As we expand our production faculty, we seek to consolidate our position as a leadings arts department through collaborations with the other arts (Theatre, Dance, Studio Art, Music, Writers' Workshop), and to build on existing strengths in Screenwriting and Film Studies (including new media).

Applications should be submitted online at ( requisition #75316) along with the required attachments.

Attachments to the application must include:


  • Letter of interest.

  • CV highlighting the candidate's contributions to the criteria outlined below.

  • Links to sample work (not to exceed 15 minutes)

  • A statement on creative work and activities in the profession (max 2 pages), which should highlight both recent accomplishments and plans for the next five years.

  • Student teaching evaluations and two sample syllabi for production courses (in film, video or related media) at different levels.

  • A short (100-250 word) statement on academic service and/or leadership. For candidates applying for the rank of Assistant Professor, this statement may highlight aspirations as much as experience.

  • Contact information for three references. Upon application submission, references will be automatically notified by e-mail with directions on how to electronically submit letters to the University of Iowa.

Questions about the position may be directed to the search committee chair Michael Cowan ( michael-cowan@uiowa.edu ).

Screening of applications will begin on October 1st. We will consider all applications until the position is filled. Initial interviews will be conducted by videoconference.

Successful candidates will be required to self-disclose any misconduct history or pending research misconduct investigation including but not limited to sexual misconduct in prior employment and provide a related release and will be subject to a criminal background and credential check.

The University of Iowa is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer. All qualified applicants are encouraged to apply and will receive consideration for employment free from discrimination on the basis of race, creed, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, pregnancy (including childbirth and related conditions), disability, genetic information, status as a U.S. veteran, service in the U.S. military, sexual orientation, gender identity, or associational preferences.
