[game_edu] Where to post academic job offers?

[Mark Baldwin]

Going off on a tangent here, but no one else has asked this, and I'm
curious.  You stated you were looking for a professor of game design, but it
was it is an artist/animator position.  This seems contradictory to me.
While art skills are valuable to the game designer, they certainly are not
required, and game design really uses other creative skills much more
extensively.  Game design is generally not an artistic skill.  From my
experience (25 years in industry as a designer), at least 80% of all game
designers do not have any real experience as artist or animators.   Does
anyone have a contradictory experience?   

Cheers,
Mark

GMU's college of visual and performing arts is soliciting for a term  
assistant professorship in computer game design.  It's an artist/ 
animator/etc. position.  I am affiliated with the solicitation  
committee, but as a computer science professor rather than an artist,  
I personally was wondering where the best venues would be to solicit  
an artist in this slot.  In the CS world there are standard locations  
for placing ads for professorships.  Any guidance on the artist side  
of things for a budding program?
