NYU Game Center - full-time Assistant Arts Professor (in game art) - New York City, USA
Some quick bullet points:
- I believe you need at least a bachelor's degree, masters degrees are good too
- no prior teaching experience required (but it helps)... again, please don't be intimidated by all the academic requirements, we really are open to hiring folks outside of academia and we'd love to hire someone from the industry if it's a good fit
- very reasonable teaching load (5 classes a year)
- you are expected and encouraged to continue your personal / professional work as an artist, working on projects and making stuff outside of teaching
- no tenure, but it's a renewable contract, and many arts professors here stay on for a long time
- if you're currently in a huge project: there might be some flexibility with your start date, on a case by case basis
- living in New York City is pretty awesome, relocation and housing assistance is available
- international applicants are welcome

- the faculty search is still active
- I've been getting questions about what "finalists will be asked to submit creative work" means... this is NOT an art test, that just means you'll formally submit a portfolio or reel to the committee
