We seek candidates with expertise in the practice, history, and theory of photography and related genres. We are particularly interested in candidates who bring critical and experimental perspectives on emerging photographic technologies, working in the realms of computation, data mapping, machine vision, and immersive and interactive environments. Candidates must have knowledge across contemporary approaches, concepts, techniques, and critical issues as they pertain to the range of practices that are associated with photography and related media.

They will be expected to coordinate areas of curriculum, and/or advise students. They may be called upon to represent the program for external events related to recruitment and admissions.
The faculty member will be an active member of school-wide, college and university committees as part of university citizenship. They will work with the school dean, associate dean, program directors, and the technical staff to implement support for curricula, policies, and facility designs that are responsive to and respectful of diverse users. The faculty member must actively contribute in maintaining an educationally diverse and creative community in all its activities and programs.
