Description
The Division of Information Technology and Sciences at Champlain
College seeks an Assistant Professor of Game Programming. The
successful candidate will teach a wide range of Computer Science
and Game Programming courses. The typical teaching load is four
courses per semester. Small class sizes optimize instructor-student
interaction; hands-on activities translate theory into practice.
Because the College is entrepreneurial and market-driven, its
academic programs respond to industry dynamics. Consequently, the
College particularly values industry and other practical experience
for its faculty and students. As a part of The Game Studio at
Champlain College, the successful candidate will need to be highly
collegial and collaborative with faculty from other programs. A
track record of multidisciplinary collaboration is highly sought
after. The expected start date is August 2020, but candidates may
also be considered for January 2020.
Desired skills and knowledge include professional-level
knowledge of C++, 2D/3D graphics and game architecture. The
successful candidate should also have professional-level experience
in at least one of the following: game networking, game AI, game
physics, Unity3D, Unreal Engine, and Mobile apps. Proficiency in
other programming languages used in the game industry (such as C#)
is a plus. A strong interest and/or experience in
education/teaching are essential.
The ideal candidate will have a graduate degree in a related
field. As Champlain College highly values practical experience,
consideration will be given to candidates with a bachelor's degree
plus significant industry accomplishments as measured by years of
experience, published games, and publications/articles. All
candidates must have at least 3 years of professional experience in
Game Development or a closely related industry and be able to
demonstrate a commitment to teaching.
