The Studio Art Department at Oberlin College invites applications for a full-time tenure track faculty position in the College of Arts and Sciences in Painting and Drawing. Initial appointment to this position will be for a term of 3 years [6 semesters], beginning in fall of 2024 and will carry the rank of Assistant Professor.
The Oberlin Studio Art department offers a creative platform for students who want intensive studio training combined with the intellectual rigor of a liberal arts curriculum. Oberlin artists are
thinking artists, deeply engaged in their intellectual and creative pursuits. Our world-renowned faculty offer courses in painting, drawing, color theory, design, photography (wet and digital), sculpture, installation, performance, media arts (sound, video, interactive/networked art), performance, reproducible media (screenprint, lithography, intaglio, relief, monotype, digital), and all the hybrids in between. Drawing on their parallel liberal arts studies at Oberlin, our students produce work at the forefront of creative fields. Oberlin’s Studio Art curriculum is interdisciplinary in nature, and emphasizes ideas. Even skills-based courses use ideas as prompts, from the political histories of color to the concept of “nature” as it has been defined by landscape painting.
The incumbent will teach the standard teaching load (4.5 courses per year) in the general area of painting and drawing. This person will be the primary continuing professor to provide instruction in painting and drawing at Oberlin, and should have expertise in all the relevant materials and approaches. This includes experience with a wide array of drawing materials as well oil and water-based painting mediums; knowledge about digital imaging processes; and the embrace of expansive definitions of painting and drawing within both specialized and multidisciplinary contexts. The incumbent will also participate in the department’s team-taught capstone sequence; they will necessarily think across dimensions and forms; they must be well-versed in interdisciplinary approaches; and be able to teach advanced mixed-media courses. The Oberlin Studio Art department values intellectual rigor and conceptual depth; as such, this professor will forge new interdisciplinary relationships with departments across campus.
The incumbent will also be expected to engage in sustained scholarly research and/or other creative work appropriate to the position and participate in the full range of faculty responsibilities, including academic advising, departmental engagement, and service on committees.
