[full-time] two (2) game art professor positions at NYU Game Center, New York City, USA
polycounter lvl 18
we're currently hiring for two (2) game art professor positions at NYU Game Center https://gamecenter.nyu.edu/
if you're a 3D artist, 2D artist, UI artist, tech artist, art director, concept artist, etc. with working experience, then we want you to come teach and train game design students at New York University's Game Center
- live and work in New York City, which is pretty fun
- full-time salary, health and benefits, comparable to most AAA standards (or better), more info: https://www.nyu.edu/faculty/benefits/full-time/benefits-guide.html
- moving expenses and relocation package, housing assistance is available
- teach 2-3 classes per semester, which is about 9 months a year total (the other 3 months of the year is summer vacation or winter break, and that's when you do whatever you want)
- lots of control over the classes, curriculum, and material you teach... if hired, you will basically decide what our game art curriculum should be
- we expect and encourage you to continue outside work / personal projects / etc (NYU does not own the rights to any of your work, nor any student work)
- zero crunch, ever
- this is basically a dream job, in my opinion
- AAA or indie is a plus
- shipped titles are a plus
- teaching experience is a big plus
- no PhD or MA/MFA needed, but it's a plus
- no academic publications needed, but it's a plus
- we welcome international applicants (non-US citizen / no green card)

apply by December 1st, 2018
- not that college rankings mean that much, but we're ranked #2 in the world for game design https://www.princetonreview.com/press/game-design-press-release
- we regularly field nominees in IGF awards, and sometimes we even win
- I know at polycount we're very suspicious of universities, and that's fair, but honestly at NYU Game Center we care a lot about teaching, and we want to give students the education that we never got

- remote work isn't really possible, sorry... you will have to live near NYC / commute regularly to Downtown Brooklyn... but again, relocation assistance / moving fees / housing assistance is available depending on your situation
- if you're in the NYC area and can't commit to a full-time position, we're always open to part-time game art teachers, just e-mail me and I can connect you for that
- as with any game art hire, there's heavy emphasis on your portfolio, but we also like to consider everything (letters of recommendation, resume, personal statement, etc) to get a full sense of where everyone's coming from... but we're not looking for specific genre or specific shipped titles, any good work is good work
- if you have any sort of bachelor's degree, you are academically qualified for this position; again, no masters or phd required (although it's cool if you have one)
- you can start the job application and submit most of it without any recommendation letters, I think the system will let your recommenders send in the letters later
- start date would be August / September 2019... if you have a big full-time project to finish, we can be flexible on start date depending on your situation... if it's a part-time contract project, you can usually just continue the contract while teaching at NYU
btw, the application period closes in 3 weeks (December 1st) so please get in on this if you're interested!
