The Film and New Media Program at NYU Abu Dhabi is currently inviting applications for a full-time non-tenure track multi-year position in Screenwriting, to begin Fall 2016. We are looking for an established screenwriter and teacher, with experience in writing short and feature narrative films. We encourage applicants with an MFA in screenwriting to apply and are especially interested in working screenwriters with experience teaching various forms of writing; including narrative, documentary, experimental, web series, mobile and interactive media.
Demonstrated professional and teaching ability in directing is a plus, as is written and oral fluency in languages other than English. Experience developing course materials is required. The selected candidate must have excellent interpersonal skills to collaborate with colleagues and students in a multicultural education setting.
The successful candidate will teach three courses per year, advise students, and participate fully in University and program service.
Interested applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, a statement of teaching philosophy, two different types of sample writings (e.g. fiction, documentary, non-dramatic) of produced films, evidence of teaching effectiveness (e.g. student feedback, reference letters, etc.), and two syllabi for courses. Review of applications will continue throughout the year until the position is filled. Due to the high volume of applications, only those selected for interview will be contacted. Hiring for this position is subject to final budgetary approval.
