The ideal candidates should have degrees in both art as well as a science/technology based discipline, with a terminal degree (MFA, PhD) completed by the time of application. Candidates would be expected to teach courses in animation, digital media, visualization, and 2D/3D design, among others. Demonstrated experience in cross-disciplinary collaborative work is highly desired.
