The Conservatory of Dance at Purchase College, SUNY invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Dance position beginning in Fall 2022. Candidates should possess expertise as a choreographer, performer, and educator of contemporary forms and should have experience teaching a diverse student body using culturally responsive and student-centered pedagogy.
This is an appointment with full benefits and a nine-month academic schedule funded by PRODIG (Promoting Recruitment, Opportunity, Diversity, Inclusion and Growth), “which aims to increase the representation of historically underrepresented faculty at SUNY including underrepresented minority (URM) faculty in general and women faculty of all races in STEM fields (“WSTEM”). Increasing the representation of faculty members who understand, and have overcome, race- and gender-based barriers and biases is important to the success and well-being of our students. A diverse faculty is critical to academic excellence because as research demonstrates, diverse teams are more innovative, productive, and solve complex problems faster and better. Furthermore, Faculty diversity is key to preparing all students to live and work in an increasingly global, diverse and interconnected world by exposing students to a wide array of ideas, experiences, cultures, and individuals.” For full job description and to apply: https://jobs.purchase.edu/postings/566 The Whitney Museum has an immediate opening for a research assistant to work on a ground-breaking retrospective exhibition of a dancer and choreographer.
