Job Description:
ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF THEATRE
The Performing Arts Department at Missouri Southern State
University invites applications for the tenure-track position of
Assistant Professor of Theatre, beginning the fall of 2023.
The ideal candidate will have experiential knowledge in all areas
of theatre; however, particularly important to this campus is a
background in public school education and musical theatre, which
will help to guide our growing programs in these areas. We are
seeking someone who will teach courses in Applied Acting,
Theatre/Music-Theatre History, Stage Directing, Stage Management,
Dramaturgy, Theatre-Education, and the general education
curriculum, as necessary. Other responsibilities include directing
the fall musical and the spring play, with further performance
opportunities to potentially come as the program grows. Experience
building, developing, and maintaining a theatre program through
strong recruitment and retention strategies, in addition to
building close ties with a supportive community, is a must.
QUALIFICATIONS
An earned terminal degree is required by the start of the position
in August 2023. Candidates who possess an MFA or PhD in a
theatre-focused area will receive full consideration with the
requisite experience and qualifications. Applicants should provide
a detailed letter of application, curriculum vitae, copies of
undergraduate and graduates transcripts, as well as the names and
contact information of three professional references. Submit
documents by visiting www.mssu.edu/jobs. Official transcripts are
required 45 days after contract is issued. Review of applications
will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.
Employment is contingent upon a background check.
