TENURE TRACK APPOINTMENT IN DIGITAL MEDIA
The Faculty of Fine Arts, Concordia University, Montreal, Quebec is seeking candidates for a full-time tenure track appointment in Digital Media effective June 1st, 2004, pending budgetary approval.

Digital Image/Sound and &Fine Arts (DFAR) was initiated in 1997 as a program designed to bridge two domains of study, that of Computer Science and the Fine Arts. This three-year undergraduate program guides students in developing critical paths at the intersections of art, technology and design. It highlights the study of theoretical issues related to technological innovation such as computational art, interaction design and physical computing.

Teaching emphasizes non-traditional applications of digital technologies while also developing awareness of the social and political implications of new technologies and a conceptual approach to design, related to the social, cultural and ethical context in which it resides. The program has three areas of specialization: digital imaging, soundscapes, and 3D modeling/animation. The programs of study at the undergraduate level include the BFA or BSc Major in DFAR with Computer applications, BFA Specialization in DFAR and the cooperative work degree. A Design, Art and Technology masters level program is in development.

Preferred candidates must have extensive experience working and teaching in one or more of the following growth areas of the program:
