Position Summary:
The undergraduate and graduate programs offered by the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Art Department are among the preeminent programs in the United States. The Department is known nationwide for its rigor, dedicated faculty, and accomplished students and alumni. The Art Department's small but growing graphic design area prides itself on closely mentoring students to develop their design abilities in a demanding environment. Its wide range of courses places a keen focus on design thinking, problem solving, and attention to detail. Students are also strongly encouraged to blend their course work in other disciplines both inside and outside the Art Department with their graphic design studies, creating work that is both immersive and compelling across a broad spectrum.

Graphic design is an inherently interdisciplinary medium. Designers entering the profession must be capable of working in two, three, and four dimensions, often simultaneously. The graphic design program within the Art Department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison seeks a tenure-track assistant professor who can help our students attain these skill sets.

Applicants for this position should be capable of teaching practice-based courses at all levels of the graphic design course sequence. The ideal candidate for this position already has teaching experience at the undergraduate level. Professional design experience with a strong background in business practice is expected. Candidates should also be comfortable with the integration of design, art, and technology. In addition, candidates should have received recognition of their work in national or international design publications or exhibitions.

Additional Information:
The University of Wisconsin-Madison is committed to increasing the diversity of its faculty and student body; therefore we encourage applicants from women and men of diverse racial, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds. Candidates who can contribute to these goals are encouraged to identify their strengths and experiences in these areas.
