The Department of Computational Arts in the School of the Arts, Media, Performance and Design (AMPD) at York University in Toronto, Canada invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in Practice-Based Computational Arts for the Engagement of Climate Crisis, to commence July 1, 2020.
We seek a strong creative researcher who is engaged in a studio practice that examines climate crisis through computational media. The profile of the ideal candidate is a practising artist, creative researcher, and creative coder whose computationally-based work is disseminated or realized through online platforms and/or other cultural contexts for the purpose of community engagement.
In responding to current discourses in global crises, the candidate will have an ongoing program of research and specialization that includes interdisciplinary approaches to one or more of the following topics: computational art in the age of the anthropocene; connecting underrepresented voices engaged in environmental concerns through technology; ubiquitous computing; telematics; surveillance; new modes of community engagement; social media and digital culture; open-source technology; sustainable technologies; ecological collapse; ethics of technology; critical play; cyber-culture or the creation of (digital) place; among others in the candidate's area of interest. We are particularly interested in applicants whose arts practice bridges worlds by engaging in and developing technologies that integrate: indigenous understandings of the environment; the internet of things; cyber-physical systems; mixed reality; mobile computing; embedded computing; wearable computing; urban gaming; robotic art; digitally augmented perception; bio-sensing; environmental sensing; or immersive multisensory environments, among others.
