Contributed by Mary Sargent / For painters who are tenure-curious, here is a list of current tenure-track teaching positions gathered from the College Art Association, Academic Keys and The Chronicle of Higher Education. If your department is doing a search for a tenure-track faculty position, and you want to add it to the list, send a note to twocoatsofpaint@gmail.com, put PAINTING POSITION in the subject, and we will be happy to include it.
But, what, you might be wondering, are art departments looking for in new faculty these days? Here is an excerpt from one of the listings that includes most of the valued criteria:
The Department of Art seeks to recruit faculty members dedicated to cultivating critical dialogue and equity within an interdisciplinary arts community. Candidates must demonstrate a commitment to inclusivity and improving access for diverse and underrepresented student groups which are integral to the department and university’s mission. Additionally, the successful candidates have practice and pedagogy that challenge the disciplinary conventions of painting, printmaking, and/or drawing through critical investigations into context, including post-medium strategies. Candidates who address critical themes in their artistic practice and pedagogy—including but not limited to issues of identity, power, social justice, postcolonialism, diaspora, liberation—are highly desirable.
Note that the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) is inviting applications for a new program director for the LeRoy E. Hoffberger School of Painting MFA program.
