Best Wishes, Salvo -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [cultstud-l] Job Announcement: Faculty Position in Experimental Media at The Evergreen State College Date: Wed, 1 Oct 2008 01:06:44 -0700 From: Julia Zay <[log in to unmask]> Reply-To: Cultural Studies <[log in to unmask]> To: Cultural Studies <[log in to unmask]> **Please post and forward widely** Full position description posted here: http://www.evergreen.edu/facultyhiring/jobs/expermedia.htm Learn more about Media Arts at Evergreen: http://studies.evergreen.edu/mediaarts/ JOB ANNOUNCEMENT: Faculty position in Experimental Media, begins September 2009. Review of complete applications begins January 6, 2009. We seek a media artist with demonstrated experience teaching experimental moving image practices, and cultural and critical theories of media. The successful candidate will have a strong commitment to teaching and will be able to contribute to an intensive media program that emphasizes the theory and practice of experimental, non-fiction and/or documentary production. Because Evergreen organizes its curriculum through interdisciplinary coordinated studies (rather than through departments and courses) the ideal candidate will demonstrate engagement with one or more disciplines outside of the media arts through creative work, teaching or research. We seek candidates with critical expertise and production skills in at least three of the following areas: experimental video, installation or performance, multi-media production, animation, sound design, and new technologies (such as circuit bending, Max/MSP/Jitter, or Arduino interfacing). We require experience teaching visual analysis, media literacy, media history and theory and/or art history and theory, and the ability to work effectively with students on writing. We are particularly interested in candidates who are exploring the implications of a globalized media culture, including internet or media activism, mass media and popular culture, and multicultural media arts. This position is designed for a working artist and teacher with an MFA or other terminal degree and an active exhibition record. Evergreen faculty members on teaching teams work closely with students and enjoy a high degree of freedom to determine the subject matter, pace, emphasis, classroom strategies and modes of evaluation. Candidates with experience teaching with faculty from disciplines outside the humanities are particularly encouraged to apply. We also encourage applicants who have had experience teaching and/or working with students from underrepresented populations. This is a Regular Faculty position, eligible for continuing appointment after two, three-year renewable contracts. All requirements for this position must be completed by the end of academic year 2008-09. Review of complete applications begins January 6, 2009 and will continue until finalists are selected. ABOUT EVERGREEN Evergreen is a public liberal arts college located in Olympia, Washington, 60 miles south of Seattle and 100 miles north of Portland. We emphasize integrated interdisciplinary study and team-teaching throughout the undergraduate curriculum and in three graduate programs. Teaching at Evergreen allows faculty members to exercise broad-ranging intellectual curiosity and to work collaboratively with faculty colleagues and students formulating interdisciplinary questions and inquiry. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Julia Zay, Member of the Faculty Media Arts The Evergreen State College Office: Sem 2, D-2108 || Mail To: Sem 2, A-2117 Olympia, WA 98505-0001 tel.
