The Department of Design at The Ohio State University seeks an Assistant or Associate Professor of Design with expertise in the aesthetic, technical, and theoretical practice of animation and its application in the development and use of various forms of time-based and interactive media. We seek an animation designer to join a collegial and diverse faculty to instruct undergraduate and graduate courses in visualization strategies for storytelling using time-based media from beginning through advanced levels of animation production. Applicants' research and teaching should reflect the use of animation to discover, explore, conceptualize, and visualize using contemporary conventions and experimentation with emerging technologies and applications. The exploration of animation in a variety of formats such as film, interactive media, and games will be supported and encouraged.
The successful applicant will advise graduate students in the Department of Design's M.F.A. program (especially those in the Digital Animation and Interactive Media track) and will contribute to the development of new learning opportunities for undergraduate students in Design (Industrial Design, Interior Design, and Visual Communication Design). Information about the department can be found at design.osu.edu. This new faculty member will also have the opportunity to contribute to the beginning through the advanced levels of the anticipated interdisciplinary Moving Image Production major, working with faculty members from a range of departments and areas of expertise in various modes of filmmaking to support this exciting new major.
This faculty member will also contribute to the community of creative researchers and benefit from the facilities and equipment of the world-class Advanced Computing Center for the Arts and Design (see accad.osu.edu<http://accad.osu.edu> for more information). This collaborative think space hosts experimental and collaborative projects and the successful applicant should excel at participating as a member of collaborative cross-disciplinary teams.
Qualifications:
An M.F.A. degree or equivalent with demonstrated specialization in animation and a record of creative research in the field of animation is required. Teaching experience and/or professional practice in the field of animation is desired.
