At Parsons The New School for Design, a division of The New School, we are continuing to strengthen our academic programs through a series of strategic faculty hires. The faculty we seek will help us expand our current and future curricular offerings at both the undergraduate and graduate levels by embracing new forms of critically engaged disciplinary and transdisciplinary practice. In this exciting period of growth, we are redesigning our curriculum so that it encourages students to make more deliberate choices about the kinds of issues they wish to creatively address in their work, linking what they learn within the classroom to more project-based learning throughout New York City and the world. Parsons is actively engaged in a Diversity Initiative and so are particularly interested in attracting candidates who are members of groups that are underrepresented in higher education in the US and particularly in art and design.
Tenure-track and Renewable Term Positions:
• Assistant Professor of Visual Culture Studies
• Assistant Professor of Design History and Theory
• Assistant Professor of Fashion Studies

Parsons The New School for Design prepares students to be independent thinkers who creatively and critically address the complex human conditions of 21st century culture.
