Job Description :

The Visual Arts Department seeks to hire adjunct professors to teach courses in Photography and / or Digital Media (including many definitions of this problematic phrase including Videography, Animation, Post-Lens Practices, and even the stuff that extends out from there basically if you think students taking a "Digital Tools and Methods" course would dig it then please apply). The Visual Arts Department seeks dynamic artists with records of achievement who have a grounding in theoretical, historical and practical aspects of art making and / or scholarship. We seek candidates representing a wide spectrum of traditional and experimental approaches who will bring vision to engage both beginning and advanced students [who are sometimes in the same course - a unique quality of RWU art courses]. As we at RWU aim to promote an inclusive environment, we seek candidates who can contribute to these aims and demonstrate an array of related competencies in the areas of equity and inclusion. We strongly encourage applications from those belonging to groups that have been historically underrepresented in higher education, including women, ethnic minorities, differently-abled, lesbian / gay / bisexual / transgender; and artwork, curriculum and research about underrepresented groups.

Candidates must have an MFA or equivalent professional experience. Teaching experience preferred, but not required.
