DESCRIPTION

On-Going Lecturer Pool in Art: Intermedia
The Art Department at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) invites applications for an on-going pool of qualified temporary instructors to teach full- or part-time, either during the academic year or Summer Session. We seek applications from outstanding candidates to teach Intermedia, who are pursuing careers as creative and distinctive artists (versus those whose work reflects technical), and who have experience teaching Intermedia at the college or university level.

In addition, the ideal candidate will demonstrate a broad understanding of the scholarly fields of visual art practices. Possible related areas of research and teaching might include performance, photography, painting and drawing, and convergences of design, art, science and technology. As always, the department seeks to add to its current strength in the creation of socially and environmentally engaged work. We are especially interested in candidates who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community through their teaching. Candidates accepted to our pool may be approached by other units to teach in areas related to their demonstrated areas of expertise.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS: M.F.A. or Ph.D. or equivalent foreign degree (practice or research based) in related field of study (i.e. intermedia), or four years of equivalent professional experience in artistic and creative work consisting of national and/or international record of performances, exhibitions, or installations in museums, galleries, festivals, or alternative venues engaging the general public.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS: University teaching experience. Applicant should have a notable exhibition record, and show professional experience in contemporary practice of Intermedia, which may include installation art and sculpture, digital video, animation, gaming, print media, photography, social media, sound art, and physical computing. Applicants should have a working knowledge of standard digital tools and software along with knowledge of current theories and practices in the field. Experience in an Apple Macintosh environment is preferred. Applicants with experience in any of these areas are welcome to apply.
