*Visual Communication Design (VCD) **Assistant Professor (Tenure-Track)*
Department of Art and Design, University of Alberta, Canada
Closing Date - Dec 05, 2016
The Department of Art and Design in the Faculty of Arts at the University
of Alberta invites applications for a full-time tenure track position of
Assistant Professor, Visual Communication Design, to commence July 1, 2017.
Qualified candidates will hold a graduate degree (MDes, PhD, or equivalent)
in Design Studies, with a specialization in Visual Communication Design,
and have at least three years of post-secondary teaching experience.
Faculty in Design Studies take an integrative and interdisciplinary
approach to practice and research and focus on social and environmental
health and wellbeing, information design, product design, environmental and
service design, and the development of media for educational, cultural, and
social contexts. Faculty in Visual Communication Design carry out research
and practice in the areas of design thinking, information design, data
visualization, interactive new media, typography and publication design,
internationalization of design, pedagogy of design, and community-based
design—all with a human-centred approach that is aimed at the development
of socially and culturally relevant communications addressing the needs of
contemporary society. Ideal candidates would augment or complement these
areas of expertise and work across disciplines, using collaborative
methods, to further enrich design studies.
In addition to maintaining an active research program, candidates will
demonstrate expertise in related technical/digital skills and in
traditional, formal design principles. They will integrate design
discourse, research and studio practice addressing the conceptual,
aesthetic, and technical demands of the discipline. Expertise in some of
the following areas would be an asset: design for digital media,
interaction design, systems design, human-centred design and research
methods, environmental design and/or service design. In addition to
teaching, curriculum development, and planning, candidates will provide
undergraduate and graduate student supervision as well as serve on
administrative and other committees, and be active, engaged members of the
University and broader community.
Successful candidates will join the Design Studies team, which includes
Canada's first Canada Research Chair in Design. We are known for a strong
and rigorous graduate program (the first in Canada) and for talented and
able undergraduate students. We are also known for our innovative Bachelor
of Design (BDes) with Pathways program that allows students to focus on
specific areas of interest to them.
