Two Tenure Track Appointments in Digital media

The Faculty of Fine Arts, Concordia University, Montreal, Quebec is
seeking candidates for two full-time tenure track appointments in
Digital Media effective August 01, 2002, pending budgetary approval.

1] Digital Image/Sound and the Fine Arts 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 in multimedia, through the study
of theoretical issues related to technological innovation for networked
environments. The program has three areas of specialization: image
works, soundscapes, and 3D modeling/animation. Immersive environments
and innovative project dissemination such as virtual display, kinetic
imaging and interactive web sites are explored.

2] Design Art offers a dynamic undergraduate program that equally
addresses the three key design areas of image, object, and multimedia. =
A
new curriculum for this established program and a new graduate
certificate program have been carefully constructed to reflect
contemporary technological, theoretical and discursive aspects of
design.=20
The pedagogical strategy of both programs emphasizes a conceptual
approach to design related to the social, cultural and ethical context
in which it resides.=20

Successful candidates will be invited to join researchers at Hexagram,
the Institute for Research and Creation in the Media Arts and
Technology, which is a joint initiative between Concordia University =
and
Universit=E9 du Qu=E9bec =E0 Montr=E9al. http://www.hexagram.org/

Preferred candidates for both appointments must have extensive
experience working and teaching in the following areas of expertise
related to digital media: web design, sound, interactivity, scripting
and programming for multimedia projects. In addition, the candidate =
will
carry out an independent research program and contribute to the
administration of the Department.=20

The ideal candidate has: 1) Ph.D., M.A., M.F.A. or equivalent; 2)
teaching experience in digital media, theory and studio practice at the
university level; 3) administrative experience and committee work at =
the
university level; 4) an established multimedia design and/or artistic
practice and research profile; 5) fluency in French (this would be
considered an 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://design.concordia.ca

permanent residents of Canada and to non-Canadians. Under current
Canadian immigration guidelines, the dossiers of Canadian citizens and
