[spectre] Faculty positions in Computational Media and Arts at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (GZ)

[Varvara Guljajeva]

Hi Spectre readers,

Just to follow up on the call I posted, since I have been receiving some
questions:
1. There is no deadline. We are hiring on a rolling basis until all
positions are filled (and there are quite some because it is a new school).
If you are interested, I recommend applying as soon as you can.
2. PhD degree is a requirement.
3. There is no specific area position. All expertise that fits under
computational media and arts is welcome to apply. You might want to check
the faculty list before applying. We would like to have wide coverage of
the field.

I hope this brings some clarity.

Varvara Guljajeva, PhD
