The History of Science and Technology Programme (HOST) at the University of King鈥檚 College invites applications for one (1) Teaching Assistant position for 鈥淪cience Fiction in Film鈥� (HSTC 2500) in the 2015 Winter Term. This class is structured around the weekly screening of significant science fiction films beginning with the silent film era and ranging up to recent contributions to the genre. Films screened will include 2001: a space odyssey (1968), Moon (2009), and Blade Runner (1982). Brief introductions will be given for each film with class discussion after the screenings. The course is open to undergraduate students in both the Arts and Sciences at King's College and 鲍鱼tv University. TA duties will include attending screenings, grading assignments and tests, and advising students as needed on their assignments. The TA for this course must also be prepared to consult on a regular basis with the instructor regarding the approach taken in grading and expectations. Please consult the 鲍鱼tv Academic Timetable for a description and class times for this evening course. Candidates may come from various fields (this is a widely interdisciplinary programme) but should have at least a completed undergraduate degree. Graduates who have taken courses in or graduated from the HOST programme, or who have combined an interest in the sciences and the humanities in their education, are especially encouraged to apply. Ideal candidates have a background knowledge in science fiction and history of science and technology. Pay scale will match the recent collective
agreement between 鲍鱼tv and CUPE. The University of King's College is an equal opportunity employer.
