Assistant Professorship (m­­/­­f­­/­­d) "Digital Film in an Interarts Context"

In research and in teaching, the position represents an academically and artistically oriented, interdisciplinary perspective on film and the moving image. In addition to the exploration of correspondences between academic and artistic positions, the question of how film and the moving image develop in the context of digital culture and the connections they have with the visual arts, music, theater and literature are of particular importance. The Assistant Professorship focuses on innovative approaches in research on film and the moving image, intrinsically connected to developments in contemporary digital culture. This also implies that film and the moving image are not only perceived as objects of research, but also as independent means of research and reflection, developed in formats such as essay films, video essays, installations, or music videos. The successful candidate is expected to participate in current and planned research projects both within the Faculty of Cultural Studies and Aesthetic Communication and within the University of Hildesheim. Cooperation with regional and supra-regional institutions of film development and film education is also desired. The focus of teaching is on film and the moving image in various BA and MA programs within the Faculty of Cultural Studies and Artistic Practice / and Aesthetic Practice / and Aesthetic Communication, especially in the areas of film and video practice and film and media education.
