The Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) invites applications for a full-time faculty position in Film and Video. We are seeking a versatile educator with deep expertise in narrative production and contemporary media industry practices, and invested in reimagining MICA’s undergraduate and graduate programs to align with the evolving landscape of the film and television industries. Candidates should have fluency in advanced digital processes and techniques and the workflows used in narrative production.

We are especially interested in candidates with knowledge of subfields that include virtual filmmaking, title design and visual effects. Experience in both film and television is a plus, as well as episodic formats, and the ability to work with media producers in other disciplines, including our game design and interactive media faculty and our faculty in creative media production. MICA sits within Baltimore’s robust media production ecosystem and provides opportunities for candidates to partner with a range of media studios and independent filmmakers across the greater metro area.

We invite applications from working film and media artists who have a demonstrated commitment to education to join our faculty with a preferred start date of August 1, 2026.

As a small, private art and design school with a rich legacy of experimentation and community-oriented practice, MICA is reimagining media education. At the undergraduate level, MICA offers a co‑major in Film and Video that integrates with the BFA Creative Media Production; at the graduate level, MICA offers an MFA Filmmaking that features a unique collaboration with the Maryland Film Festival and the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Parkway Theatre.

These undergraduate and graduate programs sit alongside the college’s offerings in Game Design and Interactive Arts as part of a convergent media hub for emerging creative industries at the JHU‑MICA Film Centre. MICA is also relaunching its BFA Film and Video, and is looking for faculty who can actively engage in the revision, development and delivery of a newly designed production curriculum that can respond to current industry practices in film and television.

The Johns Hopkins University (JHU) and Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) Film Centre is situated inside the historic Centre Theatre in the Station North Arts & Entertainment District, a neighborhood adjacent to MICA's main campus. Students studying at the Film Centre engage with a collaborative network of media practitioners, and gain from their immersion in Baltimore’s vibrant arts scene as they prepare for sustainable careers in film and media.

The Centre offers a full suite of production and post‑production resources and houses the college’s main sound stage.
