Assistant Professor of Contemporary Dance Forms of the African Diaspora
Appointment begins: August 20, 2025
We are seeking an artist/scholar whose creative and scholarly research is situated firmly within an Africanist global intercultural paradigm and who can advance the department’s goals in the areas of global dance studies and community-based creative research. Our new colleague will participate in our majors-level dance technique rotation by offering all levels (beginning to advanced) of contemporary dance practices grounded in the dance cultures and aesthetics of the African diaspora including but not limited to: African, Afro-Caribbean, Afro-Latinx and/or Afro-fusion forms, Hip-Hop, Jazz, Vogueing, Waacking, J-Setting and/or any other African diasporic dance practices determined by their area(s) of specialization. Additionally, our colleague will contribute by teaching and developing courses both within the department’s general education curriculum in Diversity and Inclusion and related to the candidate’s areas of expertise and departmental needs. Other services to the program could include undergraduate student advising, supervision of graduate student independent projects and theses, and attending to other departmental and university service assignments. We value colleagues who can contextualize their curricular offerings and interventions within historically distinct movement traditions and lineages of the African diaspora and who see their particular fusions and hybrid embodied practices as rooted in the principles of Sankofa and in experimentation, thus looking backwards historically and forwards contemporaneously in equal measure. We will welcome an individual with established relationships within the professional field and will prioritize candidates: 1) with demonstrated ability to teach contemporary dance in the candidate’s area(s) of expertise and courses blending theory and practice in African diasporic dance cultural studies; 2) who possess the qualifications and experience for instructional versatility in more than one Africanist contemporary movement practice; and 3) with demonstrated capacity to engage students from all backgrounds.
We will collaborate with our new faculty colleague to design and deliver rigorous curricula grounded in the dance cultures and aesthetics of the African diaspora and innovate curricular and programmatic initiatives that expand the range of our offerings in dance techniques and cultural dance studies. Our new colleague will elevate faculty research and student involvement in the creative process, as spaces for teaching and learning. We welcome candidates of diverse cultural and social identities to join our faculty and contribute to our department’s heterogeneous and multi-perspective culture.
Successful candidates will be required to disclose any misconduct history or pending research misconduct investigation, including but not limited to sexual misconduct in prior employment, along with a related release. Successful candidates will also be subject to a criminal background and credential check.
