The School for the Contemporary Arts at Simon Fraser University invites applications for a full-time tenure-track position in Theatre & Performance, at the rank of Assistant Professor, starting July 15, 2025.

In 2023, the School for the Contemporary Arts (SCA) launched its newly redesigned Theatre & Performance program with a stronger, experimental focus on contemporary practices in live art and performance. We seek an interdisciplinary working artist with demonstrated expertise in the broad fields of theatre and performance. Applicants must have significant creative output and experience teaching in one or more of the following areas:

+ contemporary performance and live art
+ experimental and devised theatre
+ performance based social practice
+ site responsive practice
+ movement and body-based practice
+ text for performance

The successful candidate must be able to design and teach courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels. These curricula should provide practical, artistic and theoretical contexts for the school’s expansive vision of contemporary and interdisciplinary performance. We encourage applications from individuals working in unique, emerging and underrepresented areas within the broad field of contemporary performance.

Please see the School for the Contemporary Art website for details of the position and application instructions: https://www.sfu.ca/sca/contact—us/employment.html

Review of applications will begin on November 4, 2024, and continue until the position is filled. To ensure full consideration applications should be submitted by this date. Please note that materials submitted will not be returned.

Submit all applications by email to Peter Dickinson, Director, c/o Suze Shore, [email protected].
