Additional areas of research and teaching expertise are welcome.

Offerings aimed at non-majors are expected and dependent upon the faculty member’s expertise. The successful candidate will also lead in the management of the Film Scoring Lab.
Filmmaking in the state of Oklahoma is flourishing due to the state film incentives, so the possibility of local and regional collaborations is great. There is also the potential, as has been done in the past, of hosting visiting film and video game composers on campus and collaborating with our local non-profit movie theater, Circle Cinema, in presenting or participating in special programs.
TU is a small, private university with approximately 4000 undergraduate and graduate students located in midtown Tulsa, 2 miles from downtown. Both areas are undergoing an exciting period of growth and are home to vibrant art and music scenes. The city of Tulsa has benefited from enormous growth in its arts and cultural spheres in recent years. New additions include the museums, Greenwood Rising, The Bob Dylan Center, The Wood Guthrie Center, and The OK Pop Museum, as well as the award-winning park, The Gathering Place, that sits on 100 acres in the middle of Tulsa’s historic Maple Ridge neighborhood. The University of Tulsa remains committed to partnering with its diverse citizenry in helping shape the next 100 years.
Tulsa is a mid-sized (population ~400,000), family-friendly, affordable place to live, with easy access to urban, suburban, and rural areas. The city of Tulsa is nestled in an area where the Muscogee Creek, Cherokee, and Osage tribal territories share a common boundary. Oklahoma is geographically diverse, including plains, grasslands, rocky mesas, and mountains, and is culturally unique as it is home to 39 federally-recognized Native American tribes.
