[game_edu] Teaching Position (tenure-eligible) at Ithaca College in VideoProduction/Game Design and Production

[Kim Gregson]

This is a little off topic - we're trying to get the
word out about our job to as wide an audience as
possible.

We have a new teaching position available where I
teach in video production/game design & production for
our new game design and immersive media major. We're
looking for someone with a strange mix of skills
because we want to give our game design students more
exposure to things like camera angle and lighting and
audio/sound effects and expose our video production
students to concepts used in the gaming world.

Feel free to contact me (Kim Gregson) if you have any
questions at kgregson at ithaca.edu or by phone at
607-274-7348. Please pass this message on to anyone
you think might be interested. It's a good place to
work - the new major has the support of the
administration and has funding for a new lab and
games/hardware for the students to use in classes.
