New Media or Hybrid Arts Professor, tenure track
STEVENS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, Hoboken, NJ (New York City area)
The Art & Technology B.A. Program (ARTC) at Stevens Institute of
Technology is seeking to fill a tenure-track faculty position in New
Media or Hybrid Arts at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor,
to begin in August 2009. The successful candidate for this position
should be a dynamic and innovative artist/scholar engaged in advanced
digital or spatial experimental arts as well as research and
scholarship with a national reputation. A terminal degree is required.
Our candidate will have significant input into the philosophy and
development of the ARTC program, and could potentially serve as co-
director. Fields we are interested in include: bio-art, computational
art, interactive installation, spatial media, Internet-based art,
video art, robotic and kinetic sculpture, among others.
Newly established in 2004, ARTC is a small but growing program in the
New York City area that spans across multiple disciplines and includes
students from the technical, scientific, entertainment, design and
fine arts communities. Our goal is to create a hybrid research
environment with opportunities for artists to collaborate with
scientists and technologists at Stevens, one of the premier centers
for the study and innovation of science, technology, and
entrepreneurship. Candidates must be comfortable working in an
atmosphere uniquely devoted to these areas.
