Full-time instructor for the Technology, Arts & Media (TAM) program:

The Technology, Arts & Media (TAM) program is housed at CU-Boulder’s interdisciplinary ATLAS Institute. The program is hiring a full-time instructor position to teach within our dynamic and diverse technical and creative academic programs. We’re looking to attract a candidate who is adept at technology, but more than a technologist; who understands the industrial reality of technology, but whose practice expands beyond it; who views technology as a tool in their creative work and research, but seeks out unorthodox and unique approaches. In short, we welcome and encourage candidates who think creatively, critically and conceptually about technological practices to apply. https://www.jobsatcu.com/postings/90039
