Position Description
The University of California at Santa Cruz (UCSC) invites applications for a practitioner-educator working in playable and participatory media to join the https://theater.ucsc.edu/ as an assistant teaching professor. The chosen candidate will serve both the https://agpm.ucsc.edu/ within the Performance, Play, and Design Department, and UCSC’s interdepartmental https://creative.ucsc.edu/, a new online- and hybrid-modality undergraduate major, which is the first online bachelors degree program in the University of California system. The selected candidate will collaborate with faculty and staff in the Arts Division to develop research-driven curricula for both programs, and will guide student work in both majors.
Creative Technologies is an interdisciplinary online UCSC Arts Division program offering a justice-focused digital arts and design curriculum, dedicated to advanced, innovative pedagogy, and the cultivation of web-based and hybrid learning communities. Its course of study emphasizes collaborative creative practices, and digital media as a cultural nexus at which creative workers can nurture equity, power, representation, and imagination. Drawing its faculty from multiple departments within the Arts Division, the online program allows UCSC Arts students to transcend genres and the physical space of its campus, bridging geographically and economically remote communities. The first cohort of Creative Technologies students begins its studies in the Fall of 2024.
Performance, Play, and Design is a distinctive interdisciplinary department that blends faculty in theater, performance studies, dance, game design, digital art, music, and interactive media to create a shared environment for creative research at the forefront of performance, play, and design in the fields of games, art, performance and interactive media in the digital and analog realms, with a focus on social justice, impact, and equity. Within this context, faculty continue to grow the Art & Design: Games and Playable Media Program to develop innovative approaches to game design and game creation, to encourage artistic and experimental approaches to play, and to engage with contemporary issues of justice and critical approaches to play and interactivity in order to push the bounds of interactive media.
The selected candidate will demonstrate a successful record of college-/university-level teaching in critical fields related to participatory media. The candidate will show significant promise in teaching innovation, and will have experience with hybrid and/or web-based teaching and learning technologies. The ideal candidate will have significant teaching experience in an online format, as well as experience developing and designing courses that explore, leverage, and benefit from innovative platforms for online pedagogy. The ideal candidate will also demonstrate service and leadership experience, and a capacity to mobilize people and resources toward the cultivation of community and excellence in an evolving interdisciplinary institution. Special consideration may be offered for candidates who have teaching experience in one or more of the following areas: creative coding/coding for artists; interactivity; sound and vision technology; computer vision, audition, and other machine sensing; digital environments; physical computing; movement and performance technologies; and DIY tools. We encourage applicants who engage contemporary issues in media, or technologies of transmission and interaction, design justice and art interventions; and who define their creative work broadly and inclusively, across or transcending traditional disciplinary, genre, or media categories, and who have significant experience in modes of production that center approaches that challenge conventional notions of authorship and audience, or are otherwise intensively collaborative. We welcome and encourage national and international applicants working in any of a wide range of creative practices, including one or more of the general areas described above, but not limited to them. This position is based at UC Santa Cruz, and requires regular in-person presence at the campus, excepting in cases of sabbatical leaves and other leaves of absence. The selected candidate will be expected to serve as program chair of one or both programs in the future.
The Arts Division at the University of California, Santa Cruz seeks candidates for this position who understand barriers facing traditionally underrepresented, marginalized, and historically excluded groups in the classroom and in higher education; who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community; and who have engaged in teaching, research, professional and/or public service contributions that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). These contributions may include, but need not be limited to, pedagogical strategies that contribute to the advancement of access and equal opportunity in education and participation in activities that support the recruitment, retention, and success of scholars and students from diverse backgrounds.
