Every position at ArtCenter plays an essential part in carrying out the values, goals, strategic vision, and mission of the College. This includes diversity, equity, inclusion, and culture.
The Graphic Design Graduate and Undergraduate Program is looking for one full-time faculty member with a background in design practice with a strong focus on typography, editorial design, identity, branding, print production, and art direction. The studio work should include evidence of multi-disciplinary methods with a rigorous attention to typographic craft and excellence. Practice should include a strong understanding of race, gender, LGBTQ, socio-economic disparity, and climate issues. The studio work should reflect these issues across multiple media forms. Typography, concept, form, and meaning are integral to the outcomes.
This position requires full-time teaching responsibilities, administrative service, and instructional duties, which may be outside of the Graphic Design Program and which may include occasional substitute teaching, service on collegewide committees such as Faculty Council, faculty and student mentoring and advising, core curricular planning, scholarship and portfolio student reviews, physical gallery and program website curation, outcome assessments with corresponding data collection, and attending departmental and College all-hands meetings. Full-time faculty are also responsible to help create visibility and recognition for the program and to maintain external relationships with designers and leaders experienced with issues of diversity, inclusion, and equity.
