From: J E Lewis Lewis (rhizome@thethoughtshop.com)
Subject: Tenure Track Position in Digital Media

This is one of the very few undergraduate programs in North American
that fully integrates computer science, design and fine arts. And
Montreal is a fabulous place to live. Please don't hesitate to contact
me at jason.lewis@concordia.ca (www.thethoughtshop.com) if you have any
questions.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

TENURE TRACK APPOINTMENT IN DIGITAL MEDIA
The Faculty of Fine Arts, Concordia University, Montreal, Quebec is
seeking candidates for a full-time tenure track appointment in Digital
Media effective June 1st, 2004, pending budgetary approval.

Digital Image/Sound and &Fine Arts (DFAR) was initiated in 1997 as a
program designed to bridge two domains of study, that of Computer
Science and the Fine Arts. This three-year undergraduate program guides
students in developing critical paths at the intersections of art,
technology and design. It highlights the study of theoretical issues
related to technological innovation such as computational art,
interaction design and physical computing.

Teaching emphasizes non-traditional applications of digital technologies
while also developing awareness of the social and political implications
of new technologies and a conceptual approach to design, related to the
social, cultural and ethical context in which it resides. The program
has three areas of specialization: digital imaging, soundscapes, and 3D
modeling/animation. The programs of study at the undergraduate level
include the BFA or BSc Major in DFAR with Computer applications, BFA
Specialization in DFAR and the cooperative work degree. A Design, Art
and Technology masters level program is in development.

Preferred candidates must have extensive experience working and teaching
in one or more of the following growth areas of the program:

. Interaction Design
. Immersive Media
. Experimental Sound
. Computation Arts
. Physical Computing
. Mechatronics

In addition, the candidate will carry out an independent research
program and contribute to the administration of the Department.

The ideal candidate has:
. Ph.D., M.A., M.F.A. or equivalent;
. teaching experience in digital media, theory and studio practice at
the university level;
. administrative experience and committee work at the university
level;
. media design and/or artistic practice and research profile;
. fluency in French (this would be considered a strong asset).

Please include: a letter of application; a statement of teaching
philosophy; curriculum vitae; three letters of recommendation;
documentation of recent work; samples of students' work; and other
relevant support material.

Candidates are encouraged to visit our departmental web site for
additional information concerning our programs and priorities:
http://digital.concordia.ca

Information:
1] Deadline for Applications: February 15th, 2004. (We are also
accepting ongoing applications as we anticipate future positions in
related computation and new media areas.)
2] This advertisement is simultaneously directed to Canadian citizens
and permanent residents of Canada and to non-Canadians. Under current
Canadian immigration guidelines, the dossiers of Canadian citizens and
permanent residents must be examined in the first instance, after which
the applications of others will be considered.
3] Concordia University is committed to Employment equity and encourages
applications from women, aboriginal peoples, visible minorities and
disabled persons.
