About Binghamton University:

Binghamton University is a world-class institution that unites more than 130 broadly interdisciplinary educational programs with some of the most vibrant research in the nation. Our unique character - shaped by outstanding academics, facilities and community life - promotes extraordinary student success.

Binghamton merges rigorous academics, distinguished faculty and state-of-the-art facilities to engage and challenge its 18,000 students. The high-achieving Binghamton student body also represents a great diversity of life experiences, from first-generation college-goers to international students. Beyond their talent, these classmates share a desire to shape the future through technology, insight, intellectual exploration and community service.

Job Description:

The Department of Art and Design at Binghamton University invites applications for a tenure-track position in Studio Arts. We seek an interdisciplinary artist with a demonstrated ability to teach across several of our established concentrations in Drawing, Painting, Photography, Printmaking, and Sculpture. We are especially interested in artists whose research and pedagogy would broaden the boundaries of our curriculum.

Candidates should have the skills necessary to develop new course material with interdisciplinary approaches that position theory, materials, and techniques from a range of artistic traditions in creative exchanges with one another. Candidates who integrate traditional and contemporary forms of media and/or craft in critical and exploratory ways are particularly appealing.

We are searching for candidates who demonstrate innovative approaches to pedagogy and a commitment to inclusiveness and social concerns within the learning environment. The Department of Art and Design recognizes that the field of studio art does not reflect the diversity of the population that it serves. We invite applications from colleagues who share in our commitment to a more inclusive discipline through their work.

The successful candidate will have a distinctive artistic practice that is supported by an active exhibition record, along with experience teaching at the university level. Prior experience developing new courses is preferred.

The Department of Art and Design is a robust program offering BA and BFA degrees, currently with more than 160 majors. The successful candidate will be inclined to work collaboratively with colleagues in support of new and ongoing initiatives within and beyond the department, as appropriate. This position is part of Binghamton's multiyear cluster hire initiative in Arts Practice, Performance and Research in the 21st Century; for more information, see: https://www.binghamton.edu/harpur/faculty/cluster-hire.html

Requirements:

Applicants should hold an MFA or equivalent terminal degree by the start of this appointment, along with experience teaching at the university level.
