The Wonsook Kim School of Art and Creative Technologies Program seeks a 
collegially minded digital creative with an emphasis in game design and 
development, along with a strong research agenda and creative 
scholarship plans. Applicants are expected to have a strong 
understanding of the basic concepts and core elements of game design, 
mechanics, rules, storytelling, player behaviors, and game production 
pipelines from concept to marketing. Additional research and interest 
areas could include games for activism, art, learning, and social 
impact; programming; animation and motion graphics; 3D modeling; AR/VR; 
building virtual environments; interactive design; and mobile game 
design and development.

As educators, applicants should be prepared to teach a variety of 
courses, including introductory-level courses in game design (analog 
games, digital prototyping tools) and development (Unity with C#, Unreal 
Engine with Blueprints, etc.). Applicants with a body of innovative work 
that challenges traditional academic and cultural delineations of 
artistic production and gaming are desirable. The successful candidate 
will join the interdisciplinary Creative Technologies Program faculty 
and have a locus of tenure in the Wonsook Kim School of Art.
