Position Type: Permanent, Teaching Faculty

Closing Date: December 1, 2012

We seek a lecturer in digital media experienced in one or several of the
fields of:

.         digital media

.         electronic entertainment

.         graphics/animation; and

.         information/graphic/web design

Ideally, this person combines strong design and production skills together
with programming and scripting skills. Versatility is a plus as we seek an

and/or graphics/ animation. 

The School of Interactive Arts + Technology (SIAT) is a vibrant,
multidisciplinary program that integrates the arts, design, science, and
technology. Its teaching and research draw upon fields ranging from media
arts, electronic games, design, and information technology. SIAT offers
degrees at the bachelor, master and doctoral level.  The School currently
enrolls about 830 undergraduates and 120 graduate students, some 60 of whom
are at the doctoral level.

SIAT is located in purpose-built, state-of-the-art classrooms and
laboratories at SFU's Surrey campus. Simon Fraser University at Surrey, the
University's newest campus, is located in the greater Vancouver region of
British Columbia. The area is home to Canada's cultural and entertainment
industry and much of its digital media production. The region's rich
cultural, natural and intellectual resources make it one of the world's most
desirable places to live and work. 


Qualifications:

Applicants will normally have a graduate degree in fields such as design,
new media or electronic games. The successful candidate will have strong
teaching skills based in a robust background in commercial or academic
practice. He or she will have studio-based design practice focus, able to do
effective critique and student mentoring. Candidates should be strong in
teaching written English for academic work and able to inspire good writing
among lower division students. 

The successful candidate will have a strong potential for undergraduate
curriculum development to update SIAT's curriculum as technologies and
skills change.  He or she should have undergraduate teaching experience,
have high potential for instructional innovation and should be familiar with
several instructional formats, including team-based, computer-mediated and
interdisciplinary approaches. All SIAT faculty must have a high degree of
technological literacy regardless of their particular disciplinary
background. SIAT faculty members are expected to contribute to school
leadership and program development. 


How to Apply:

All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and
permanent residents will be given priority. Simon Fraser University is
committed to employment equity and encourages applications from all
qualified men and women, including visible minorities, aboriginal peoples
