The Yale University School of Art invites applications for an open-ranked tenured or tenure-track faculty appointment in the field of sculpture to begin July 1, 2018. Candidates must hold an MFA or equivalent degree within the specialization of sculpture and directly related fields, must be a working artist with a significant exhibition record, a minimum of 3 years college-level teaching experience and must demonstrate the ability to continue an ongoing, excellent, and dynamic art practice. We seek an applicant with a broad knowledge of contemporary art, the ability to address works across disciplines, and strong leadership skills. The appointee will be expected to continue creative and professional activities while teaching in a demanding academic environment. A fully engaged presence on campus is required as well as a willingness to participate in collectively shaping the future of the School of Art. Rank at the time of hire—as assistant, associate, or (full) professor—will depend on the appointee’s qualifications.
The successful candidate will teach both graduate and undergraduate level courses, advise graduate and undergraduate students, oversee master’s theses, participate in critique sessions, mentor students, serve on School and University committees, and actively contribute to and participate in the School’s vibrant co-curricular programming.
To apply, submit a letter of application, curriculum vitae with relevant professional and teaching experience, and names and contact information of three references, a sample syllabus for a sculpture course and 20 images of recent work online. Review of applications begins January 26, 2018. Yale University is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity employer. Yale values diversity among its students, staff, and faculty and strongly welcomes applications from women, persons with disabilities, protected veterans, and underrepresented minorities.
