Sound Technician Specialist PRN - 74024BR

At Arizona State University, we measure ourselves not by whom we exclude, but rather by whom we include and how they succeed. Unlike many other top film schools, which measure themselves by who they exclude, The Sidney Poitier New American Film School at the Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts is inclusive. ASU's undergraduate film majors represent the creative diversity of our country, with more than 40 percent of its students from under-represented backgrounds. 

 Under the direction of the Sound Faculty leadership and the Director of the School, the Sound Technician Specialist PRN often serves as the worker in charge of the sessions in the audio production and post-production spaces such as mixing and recording studios, sound stages, the audio labs and screening rooms. The ideal Sound Technician Specialist will be not only proficient in sound for film/media concepts, technology and workflows, but most importantly have outstanding interpersonal skills to communicate effectively, respectfully and thoughtfully with the students, reflecting ASU’s commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion. The successful candidate will prepare, support, be present in mixing, ADR and Foley sessions in the studios, guide students on the technical workflow of those spaces, guarantee appropriate technical operation and safety of people and equipment, and follow-up audio hardware and software overall issues, updates, upgrades and obsolescence with Sound Faculty and IT. We are looking for an individual who can be the interface of the audio spaces with students, faculty and staff, improving student’s hands-on experience and operational quality of Sound Tech and workflow in the Sidney Poitier New American Film School.
