Purpose:

The Department of Theatre and Dance at http://www.scu.edu, a Jesuit, Catholic university located in Silicon Valley on the land of the Ohlone and Muwekma Ohlone, invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in Theatre, Performance Studies. The successful candidate will start on September 1, 2025, and be expected to teach, engage in a scholarship program, and do service for the Department, College, and University.

Other areas of expertise might include: African American/Black, Latin/x, or Asian American Theatre, Digital Humanities, Feminist Theory, and Indigenous and/or Diasporic Theatre.

The Department of Theatre and Dance at SCU is composed of artist-scholars and arts practitioners who produce a fully staged season of mainstage performances from a varied and diverse canon of plays, musicals, and originally choreographed dance concerts. The Department is revising its approach to teaching theatre history and historiography by decentering Eurocentric and/or Western chronologies and developing more thematic modules within which students can consider a range of historical and cultural interpretations of performance within a more global context.

The successful candidate will be expected to teach the university’s core writing and culture sequence, https://www.scu.edu/provost/core/, which introduces first-year students to the usefulness of performance studies methodologies in analyzing contemporary culture as well as the usefulness of theatre history and historiography to develop intercultural competencies for global citizenship. Other courses might include upper division courses in performance studies or electives in the candidate’s area of expertise.

This position is part of an LGBTQ+/Queer Studies Cluster Hire in the College of Arts and Sciences at Santa Clara University. The College of Arts and Sciences is building a cohort of critical LGBTQ+/queer teaching and scholarship as part of an intersectional body of research, teaching and mentoring at SCU to contribute to the broader social and political good in light of increasing anti-LGBTQ+ policies and efforts across the US and in varied global contexts.

Departments participating in the LGBTQ+/Queer Studies Cluster Hire are Public Health, Women’s and Gender Studies, Theatre and Dance, and English.

The Department of Theatre and Dance is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace and strongly encourages applications from members of historically excluded groups, including people of color, women, LGBTQ+, and people with disabilities. Over the last decade, Santa Clara University has recruited an increasingly diverse faculty, enrolled more diverse and low-income students, and recently committed to becoming a Hispanic Serving Institution.
