Job Story:
If words like “assembly,” “rough cut,” “offline,” “online,” “deliverables,” “color pipeline,” “dynamic range,” and “mix session” are part of your DNA—and if you’re excited to unpack those processes with students in a way that demystifies and empowers—then you’ll thrive here. You’ll help students understand not just what to do, but why it matters, turning projects into portfolios and portfolios into careers. We seek a filmmaker who sees story not just in the shot, but in the cut. Wichita State University’s School of Digital Arts invites applications for a post-production storyteller who wants to redefine how students understand editing, sound, color, and finishing. We’re not looking for someone to push buttons; we’re looking for a creative partner who knows that the edit is where the film is written again, that color is more than correction, that sound can make or break emotion, and that VFX is the invisible glue holding story and spectacle together. If you’re the kind of filmmaker who leans forward when timelines get complicated, who loves to make sense of chaos, who finds poetry in pacing and catharsis in the grade—then this is the classroom and the cutting room for you. You won’t be teaching theory in a vacuum—you’ll be teaching inside active productions. Students cut real films, color real spots, build real sound mixes, and composite shots that end up on festival screens and client reels. Your classroom is a lab, a suite, a bay filled with the same tools used in industry: Avid, Adobe, Resolve, After Effects, NUKE, Pro Tools. Your job is to help students translate software into storytelling and then raise their standards to meet industry expectations. You’ll guide them on how to deliver assets cleanly, how to organize a pipeline, and how to build habits that make them indispensable to post houses, agencies, and productions alike. The Assistant Professor of Filmmaking is a full-time tenure track faculty position that will teach, advise, mentor and recruit undergraduate digital arts students with a focus in Post Production for filmmaking.

Students need a mentor who will stand beside them as they wrestle with senior capstones, long-form projects, and collaborative productions that stretch across concentrations. You’ll teach them how to think like editors and finishers: how to make story decisions under deadline, how to deliver clean projects to clients, and how to collaborate with directors, cinematographers, animators, and sound designers so that every frame, every track, and every node earns its place.

Professional experience with editing, color grading, post-production workflows, and finishing for film and media.
3+ years' of post-production experience.

Evidence of creative scholarship or industry projects with regional, national, or international impact.

Job Story
At the Ulrich Museum of Art at Wichita State University, we don’t just exhibit art—we create space for conversation, collaboration, and discovery. With a collection that rivals the quality of major museums around the globe, we’ve built a reputation as a hub where curators launch meaningful careers and make their mark in the field. Now, we’re seeking our next Curator—a dynamic professional ready to shape exhibitions, experiment with ideas, and connect art to our diverse community. This isn’t a “plug and play” curatorial position where traveling shows arrive in crates. Here, you’ll curate it all—from concept to execution—developing 6–8 original exhibitions each year. You’ll research collections, work directly with artists, collaborate with designers, and create interpretive materials that invite visitors to experience art in new and accessible ways. But this role is also about people. Our Curator is both a scholar and a connector—someone who can write compellingly to assist in obtaining more grants, and build strong relationships with artists, donors, and community partners. The Kind of Person We’re Looking For We want a curator who is as comfortable rolling up their sleeves as they are working within the national network. A team player who can thrive as the museum’s sole curator, ready to wear many hats in a single day. Our team is close and you need to be comfortable in shared working environments. Community-oriented, curious about co-creating with colleagues, visitors, and partners rather than curating in a vacuum. Willing to push the edge—experimenting with innovative curatorial approaches while respecting the integrity of the collection. Skilled (or eager to learn) in grant writing, fundraising, and networking—because building resources is part of building exhibitions. Experienced in exhibition design, collection research, and artist relations—with a preference for those with museum experience. Open to learning new skills, whether diving into graphic design or exploring new technologies that enhance visitor engagement. If you’re ready to curate exhibitions that matter, connect art to community, and grow as both a professional and a creative thinker, we’d love to see what you can bring to our table. Apply today and help shape the next chapter of our museum’s story! This is an in-person position that thrives on collaboration, presence, and the spark of shared creativity.
