The Department of Visualization at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas, invites applications for a full-time non-tenure track position at the rank of Instructional Assistant Professor. The initial term of appointment is for the Fall 2016 through Spring 2017 academic year with the expectation of yearly re-appointment.
Responsibilities include teaching classroom-based and on-line offerings of art history survey courses, conducting original research, and contributing as a subject matter expert to the development of art history oriented educational video games. The subjects include prehistoric to 14th century, and late 19th through 20th century, respectively. In the classroom these courses are typically taught as large lecture classes that serve undergraduate majors in the Bachelor of Science in Visualization program, the Minor in Art, the Minor in Art and Architectural History, and the university core curriculum.
Design of the content of these courses in a video game environment includes development of web-delivered interactive 2-D and 3-D learning environments featuring locations, persons, artifacts and works of the periods covered. Subject matter experts partner with the development team responsible for creating this environment and coordination between the interactive and non-interactive portions of course content.
Applicants should hold a Ph.D. in art history with previous undergraduate teaching experience at the college level. ABD applicants with teaching experience will also be considered. However, the Ph.D. must be complete prior to beginning the position.
