PHOTOGRAPHY

Pitzer College, a small liberal arts college, invites applications for a one-year part-time appointment in photography beginning Fall 2008.

The Art Program seeks an artist skilled in the practice/teaching of introductory to advanced digital photography and darkroom (B&W) photography. Candidates must possess knowledge of traditional and contemporary photography; MFA and college level teaching experience beyond graduate assistantships is required. Teaching responsibilities consist of teaching three classes per year—two digital photography courses and one traditional darkroom course—in a two-semester system. Commitment to teaching undergraduates in a multi-cultural liberal arts environment is essential.

Pitzer College, a member of the Claremont Colleges, has a strong institutional commitment to the principles of diversity in all areas and strongly encourages candidates from underrepresented social groups. We favor candidates who can contribute to the College’s distinctive educational objectives, which promote interdisciplinary perspectives, intercultural understanding, and concern with social responsibility and the ethical implications of knowledge and action. Pitzer College is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer. For the successful applicant with the relative interests, affiliations are possible with the intercollegiate departments of Asian American Studies, Black Studies, Chicano/Latino Studies, and /or Women’s Studies.
