Candidates will be asked to articulate their vision of a graphic design education in the 21st century that will produce designers with research abilities, social responsibilities and pragmatic skill sets who are able to deliver content over any type of system. This is your chance to work with talented students in a thriving metropolis that is home to Fortune 500 companies, nonprofit organizations, design firms, fine art galleries and more.

Requirements:

- Demonstrated knowledge of user-experience, usability, interface design (both theory and practice), technologies, platforms and delivery systems as they relate to current practices in graphic and communication design
