Acting

The Department of Theatre, Dance, and Performance Studies at Tufts University is seeking a part-time lecturer to teach an introductory-level course in Acting in the fall semester 2025 and spring semester 2026. Introduction to Acting is a basic course aimed at enhancing self-confidence and creative expression. This course will emphasize skills of concentration, imagination, control, awareness, motivation and storytelling. Through exercises in voice, movement, improvisation and monologue/scene work, students will strengthen their confidence, physical and mental skills of performance technique (as applicable to their artistic, academic, professional, and personal lives).

The Department of Theatre, Dance, and Performance Studies offers a collegial environment for thinking critically about histories and institutions of power. The department is invested in illuminating how social and cultural formations inform performances on and off the stage. Given the department's commitment to both student and faculty success, we are confident that the candidate will find an intellectual and creative home at Tufts as well as an enthusiastic and engaged classroom environment.

Applicants should hold an MFA in Acting (preferred) or have equivalent professional experience, and have relevant teaching experience at the college level.

Please submit application materials through Interfolio at https://apply.interfolio.com/167927. Applicants should upload the following: cover letter, resume/CV, and the names and contact information of two references that can speak to the candidate's experience.

Review of applications will begin May 30, 2025 and will continue until the position is filled. Please address any questions to kareem.khubchandani@tufts.edu.

All offers of employment are contingent upon the completion of a background check by Tufts University.
