PHOTOGRAPHY/NEW MEDIA
The University of Delaware Department of Art (UD/ART) seeks an innovative artist and educator whose practice investigates the implications of lens-based culture in the twenty first century. This person will lead the discussion exploring the vast creative possibilities and the cultural concerns surrounding photographic media. We are interested in lens-based media’s relationship to representation, surveillance, mechanical reproduction, and the nature of the image or imaging in the “information age.”
The ideal candidate will technically and conceptually address the way that the image/information is captured (input), edited (processed), and presented (output), and should have specific expertise in one or more of the following areas:
•developing or exploiting mechanisms for capturing images
•manipulating visual information through digital software and programming, experimental analog processes, or a hybridization of digital and analog
•investigating modes of display and distribution from printing, projection, and the “screen,” to digital transmission or 3-D forms
Qualifications: The artist we seek will teach a full-time load of beginning to advanced undergraduate courses in our photography/new media area and be an active faculty member in an interdisciplinary MFA program. The ideal candidate should have an interest in addressing the aesthetic, historic, and ideological implications of lens-based image production while leading our photography/new media area. This person must be enthusiastic about and open to the broad range of work produced in an interdisciplinary department, which includes Fine Art and Visual Communication. S/he will also oversee, help maintain, and guide the discussion about the development of a comprehensive lens-based media facility.
We require an MFA or equivalent, college level teaching experience, and a serious commitment to personal creative practice. The salary is competitive and commensurate with experience.
Starting Date: September 1, 2009
Application Deadline: January 25, 2009
Application Procedure: Our preferred method for application and portfolio submission is online via: http://udart.slideroom.com.
