The Department of Film, Video, and New Media at the School of the Art
Institute of Chicago invites applications from artists working in
video to teach and expand an innovative curriculum in moving image
media. We are looking for artists who work with various applications

installation, video performance, interactive environments and
web-based work. Candidates should have a strong conceptual and
historical grasp of contemporary issues in the intersecting worlds of
independent video production, experimental filmmaking, and new media.
The department is committed to alternative forms and practices that
emphasize experimentation, innovation, and the hybridization of
existing media and modes of presentation. Candidates should
demonstrate the ability and desire to participate in curricular
initiatives; should be able to work with undergraduate and graduate
students in an interdisciplinary, fine arts context; and should have
advanced proficiency in one or more areas of the media arts.
Applicants must have an active professional creative practice.
Teaching experience preferred. The position is full-time,
tenure-track and begins in the fall of 2006. Rank and salary are
commensurate with experience.
