[game_edu] Full Time Position in Game Art/Design at Twin Cities Area University

[Beck, David]

Full-time Game Art/Design Instructor Needed this Fall at Twin Cities Area University

We're looking to replace a last-minute vacancy to teach full time at UW-Stout in Menomonie, WI (~60 minutes from the Twin Cities).  This would be for the fall semester, with potential for full-time employment in the spring as well.  The position comes with full benefits and a free university laptop (w/ necessary software) for the duration of the contract.  The pay would be roughly $6,500 per course.  If living in the cities, there is an active carpool system in place in which employees can participate.

The hired instructor would be joining UW-Stout's School of Art and Design, which has almost 1,000 majors and 65 faculty members.  Info on the Game Design Program can be found here: http://www.uwstout.edu/programs/bsgdd/ and info on the School can be found here: http://www.uwstout.edu/artdes/

The three classes are capstone game design courses (ie: upper-level). The courses all occur on a Monday, Wednesday, and Friday schedule (ie: employee would be on campus for just three days a week from 8am-4:30pm).  The courses are team-taught, which means that the hired instructor will teach the artistic elements of the course along with a faculty member from the computer science department (who will cover the programming elements).

The courses the instructor will teach are: one section of 2D Game Design (utilizes Photoshop and HTML5) and two sections of 3D Game Design (utilizes Maya and Unity).  No programming knowledge is necessary for this position.

Qualifications:

- Knowledge of 2D digital art software and 3D digital art software.

- Either an MFA *or* a Bachelor's degree with professional experience

To apply, submit a letter of interest, CV, references, and portfolio to the UW-Stout adjunct pool (apply to Department of Design category), here: http://www.uwstout.edu/continuing_ed/adjpool.cfm

We will begin reviewing applications immediately, and the position will remain open until filled.  Contract will begin on Monday, August 25th, 2014.
