[game_edu] Assistant Professor of Animation and Game Design at Hampshire College

[Ira Fay]

Hello all,

I hope you're doing well. I'm pleased to announce that my department at
Hampshire College is growing, and we're hiring a tenure-track position in
Animation and Game Design. I've included the job details below, but if you
have any questions, feel free to contact me directly.

If you're in industry now and have been thinking about an academic career,
I'd encourage you to consider this opportunity seriously - Hampshire has
been incredibly accommodating to an industry/academic mixed career, and
I've personally found it to be very satisfying. I worked full time in
industry for ~8 years, then became a professor in 2011 while maintaining
part-time industry activity. I can speak to the pros and cons (mostly
pros!).

If you're in the academy now, I can say with confidence that Hampshire is
awesome, and professors here have amazing freedom to do the sort of
teaching and research that is most meaningful to them. I'm happy to answer
more questions too.

Best wishes,
Ira
