The School of Art at Carnegie Mellon University announces a full-time tenure track position at the rank of Assistant Professor within the area of Sculpture. The School is seeking an artist who: explores contemporary issues related to sculpture, is actively exhibiting nationally/internationally, and who demonstrates teaching abilities with potential for pedagogical excellence within specialized core courses and across interdisciplinary undergraduate and MFA programs. Special attention will be given to candidates who bring both critical and technical knowledge into their work and teaching. Candidates with hybrid practices or additional expertise in other media are encouraged to apply. An MFA or equivalent is required and experience teaching at the college or university level is strongly preferred.

We encourage applications from members of groups that have been marginalized or underrepresented in art and higher education and who will contribute to the breadth and diversity of our program.

The new hire will teach two classes per semester, conduct graduate critiques, and maintain a vibrant studio practice. Courses taught might include foundational and advanced 3D media studios, as well as topic-driven courses within our Transdisciplinary Research Studio curriculum. Additionally, they will be actively engaged as part of a dynamic faculty, taking part in the governance of the School through committee work and helping to steer pedagogical development. A private studio will be provided, along with access to the School’s physical, digital, and technology-based facilities.

The School of Art is one of five schools in the College of Fine Arts, which also includes the Schools of Architecture, Design, Drama and Music. The School is distinguished by collaborative relationships with innovative learning environments such as the Center for the Arts in Society, the Frank-Ratchye STUDIO for Creative Inquiry, and IDeATe; individual studios for all junior and senior BFAs; 24-hour access to state-of-the-art facilities; and a unique curriculum that includes concept and media studios, contextual practice, critical theory, and technology alongside programs in electronic and time based media; painting, drawing, print media, and photography; and sculpture, installation and site-specific work. The MFA Program at the School of Art is ranked as number seven overall and number one in Time Based and New Media by US News and World Report.
