Asst. Prof. of Computer Science and Game Design
Description
Hampshire College, an independent, innovative liberal arts
institution and member of the Five College consortium, is accepting
applications for a permanent-track position as Assistant Professor of Computer
Science and Game Design to begin in the fall of 2013.
Responsibilities include instruction of four courses per year, work with
students on independent projects, and advising. We are searching for
experienced and diverse applicants who are able to combine engaged teaching
with creative inquiry within the context of an experimental, rigorous liberal
arts education. The ability to work cooperatively with faculty, students
and staff of various backgrounds is important.
Review of candidates begins on December 1, 2012, and will continue until the
position is filled. Applicants should submit a statement of teaching and
research interests, curriculum vita, sample of written work, and three letters
of recommendation.
Hampshire College is
an equal opportunity institution, committed to diversity in education and
employment.
Requirements
The ideal candidate for this position will have expertise both in general
computer science and in game design, along with dedication to innovation in
undergraduate education and an exciting vision for the future of computer games.
Experience in the computer game industry is also a plus. We are particularly
interested in candidates with the demonstrated ability to work synergistically
across disciplinary boundaries, connecting work in game design to work in one
or more other disciplines. Disciplines of interest include, but are not limited
to, other areas of focus in our School of Cognitive Science such as artificial
intelligence, computer graphics, computer animation, cognitive psychology,
educational sciences, philosophy of mind, media studies and child development. We
construe the term “games” broadly and would welcome applications from
candidates with interests in educational games, games for health or social
change, board games, and work that redefines the definition of “games.” The
ideal candidate will have or will be expecting a terminal degree in a field
related to the position; this field need not be computer science, but the
successful candidate must have sufficient computer science experience to be
able to support student work on the development of computer games.
