Ohio State University, Department of Theatre
Postdoc: Community-Engaged Devised Performance
Institution Type: | College / University |
Location: | Ohio, United States |
Position: | Post-Doctoral Fellow |
The Ohio State University Departments of Theatre and Comparative Studies seek a Postdoctoral Researcher to join our team. These departments are part of OSU’s College of Arts and Sciences, the largest college and academic heart of the university.
We invite applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher in community-engaged devised performance: an MFA or PhD whose research interests and practical experience center on the making of new works in response to community challenges. The successful candidate will teach two courses in the Spring Semester of 2019 and two courses in 2019-20, semesters TBD. The semesters taught for the Department of Theatre will continue Be the Street, now in its second year of theatre workshops and devising about, with, and for community participants in a diverse yet economically distressed Columbus neighborhood. For more information: https://u.osu.edu/bethestreet. So far our performances, devised with novice performers, have centered on migration, mobility, and place-making; the successful candidate will have the opportunity to change the topic. The courses taught for the Department of Comparative Studies will introduce undergraduate students to socially engaged performance projects from around the world, whether in theater, protest, or other social performance.
Faculty mentors will guide the researcher through completion of the course syllabi, supervise teaching, and support the Postdoc's research and writing.
This 12-month appointment begins August 15, 2018 and ends August 14, 2019. It may be renewed for one year. To apply please go to jobsatosu.edu/postings/search.
