Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in Animation

Department of Visual Studies

School of Arts and Humanities

St. Edward's University, a nationally ranked, independent Catholic university and Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) in Austin, Texas, invites applications for a full-time, 9-month, tenure-track position as an assistant professor of Animation in the Department of Visual Studies, beginning in mid August 2024. St. Edward's is characterized by its commitment to the Holy Cross educational mission to educate the hearts and minds of a diverse student body that is deeply committed to social justice.

The successful candidate will work effectively with colleagues across disciplines, teach courses in the Bachelor of Arts in Animation degree program and participate in program-, departmental-, and school-level service, serve as academic advisor to students in the program, and maintain an active record of research, scholarship, and/or creative work. Austin-home to such companies as Rooster Teeth, Powerhouse Animation Studios, and Minnow Mountain-is a hub of animation, and our liberal arts-based BA animation program is growing. We hope to augment our faculty with a candidate who is both a strong teacher and who presents a strong portfolio of independent work or professional experience. The BA in Animation program shares a number of courses with our BA in Video Game Development program, as well as foundational courses in art, visual studies, and writing.

St. Edward's University embraces excellence through diversity and especially encourages applications from women and members of underrepresented racial, ethnic, sexual, and gender minority groups. Candidates should demonstrate a commitment to supporting a diverse student body.

For consideration, candidates must hold an MFA degree from a regionally accredited institution, have an ability to teach at the undergraduate level, and have significant professional experience in digital animation, compositing, visual effects, rotoscoping, video game animation, or motion graphics. Candidates must also be proficient with a mix of industry-standard software applications, which may include Toon Boom Harmony, Adobe Animate, After Effects, Audition, Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, Maya, 3ds Max, Blender, ZBrush, or Final Cut Pro.

Preferred candidates will have:

Three or more years of experience teaching a variety of undergraduate courses, including drawing, character design, traditional 2D animation, digital 2D animation, digital 3D animation, digital sculpting, digital lighting, digital visual effects, compositing, or other advanced animation techniques.
A portfolio of work that demonstrates a strong technical and theoretical foundation in their practice and teaching.
An active record of research, scholarship, and/or creative work.
A strong portfolio of student work and sample syllabi from classes they have taught.
Industry or creative relationships that will benefit their students' learning and career opportunities.
Essential Responsibilities Include: Candidates should have the interest and ability or potential to teach a range of undergraduate courses in animation and visual studies supporting a diverse student body. Duties of the position include:

Teach a full course load (4/4), which may include multiple sections of the same course, and related courses outside of the animation program. Note that one course reassignment per year may be available to a faculty member with a significant record in research, scholarship, and/or creative work.
Serve as academic advisor and creative mentor to a diverse body of students.
Contribute to curriculum development and program assessment efforts.
Participate actively in university and department committees, as needed.
Demonstrate continuous professional development efforts throughout the academic year.
Other duties as assigned.
