About the role

The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign is seeking a full-time, tenure-track Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor in the Department of Dance. The role emphasizes a choreographic research trajectory and teaching beyond traditional Euro-American dance forms. Responsibilities include a 2/2 or 2/3 teaching load, advising students, and leading departmental productions. We especially welcome applicants committed to social justice and inclusion in dance.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
