Hey List,
The School of Art, Media and Technology at Parsons the New School for School of Design is looking for an Assistant Professor of Communication Design. I’m an Assistant Professor at Parsons in CDT (Communication Design Technology) and I can say AMT – School of Art, Media and Technology is a great place to work! In particular we’re looking for people with Interaction Design and/or Motion Graphics experience. Thought I’d spread the word. Full-time faculty gigs in NYC are pretty rare, but Parsons has been hiring quite a bit lately.
If this call isn’t for you there are many more other faculty positions open:

Thanks,
Katherine
