The Department of Art at Colby College invites applications for a tenure-track position in printmaking at the rank of Assistant Professor beginning September 2023. A completed M.F.A., a minimum of two years teaching experience at the college level, and an active record of creative scholarship are required. Teaching load of 4.5 courses/year will consist of all levels of the traditional printmaking curriculum, which can include intaglio, relief, lithography, aquatint, monotype, and photogravure. Our preference will be toward candidates who also work and teach in one or more of the following related areas: digital printmaking, drawing, and book arts. We also expect candidates to be well versed in and committed to using “green” methods and materials. Our facilities include a traditional printmaking studio, a hand bindery, and a dedicated library of art and music. The successful candidate will become part of our dynamic department of art history and studio art. In addition to an extraordinary museum of art and the Lunder Institute for American Art, Colby College is currently engaged in ambitious investments in the arts with new buildings both on campus and downtown (such as the Greene Block + Studios, the Gordon Center for Creative and Performing Arts, the Paul J. Schupf Art Center on Main Street, and the Lyons Arts Lab).
