Tenured Associate Professor or Full Professor to begin July 1, 2007. Rank and salary commensurate with qualifications and experience based on UC pay scales. We seek an outstanding artist who comes from a visual art, architecture or urban studies background and works across these disciplines as a practitioner using Asia as their site of investigation. Candidates could work within the genres of new media, media, site specific installation, community-based practices, photography or architecture, but more generally they should work with the problematic of the “public” and the dynamics between private and public space in Asia. The work may be single authored or collaborative.
UCSD is a research university that actively promotes and supports creative work within a broadly interdisciplinary arts department that includes studio, computing, media, art and media history, theory and criticism.
