Rutgers University Posting Summary
The Department of Art & Design at Mason Gross School of the Arts, Rutgers University, invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track position in Painting at the rank of Assistant Professor to begin July 1, 2025. The Painting curriculum nurtures technical fluency with conceptual and discursive literacy in an environment that nurtures experimentation and critical thinking. We seek a faculty member who will bring enthusiasm, expertise, vision, and critical engagement to our Painting area and department at large. The Department of Art & Design offers undergraduate and graduate programs that encompass drawing, design, media, painting, photography, printmaking, and sculpture, with strong threads of performance and hybrid practices. Facilities include a 4,000+-square-foot gallery and studios for undergrad and grad students. Candidates should be professionally active with a nationally significant record of achievement and at least three years of college-level or equivalent teaching experience. Primary teaching responsibilities include painting courses on all levels, as well as one annual seminar in our interdisciplinary graduate program. All faculty are expected to assist in student recruitment, curriculum development, mentoring, overseeing graduate assistants, and serving on departmental and university committees. The successful candidate is able to thrive in an interdisciplinary arts environment with curiosity and collegiality, bring experience and a deep commitment to supporting the needs of a diverse student body, and show potential for academic leadership. The candidate is professionally active, with a significant record of achievement and the capacity to make meaningful contributions to their field. They have a broad understanding of art practice and theory as applied to a variety of disciplines in addition to painting, and, as befits the history of our Art & Design Department, welcome the opportunity to develop cross- and interdisciplinary curricula within a large, diverse, public research university. We strongly encourage applications from artists whose creative practice or research focuses on historically marginalized forms of knowledge or focuses on underrepresented groups, and who is able to effectively teach a diverse student body. Art & Design is committed to engendering and supporting inclusivity, difference, equity, and excellence in a vibrant pedagogical and artistic community situated in one of the country’s most diverse research universities. Art & Design encourages applications from underrepresented groups in academia and the arts, including but not limited to artists of color, individuals of diverse gender identities and expressions, first generation college and higher education students, artists with disabilities, and those with nontraditional and exceptional pathways to teaching and the arts. Like the state of New Jersey, students in Art & Design and across the University vibrantly reflect this diversity of backgrounds and identities. The successful candidate will demonstrate the cultural and critical competencies to support and engage this rich multiplicity of artistic research and student life, and will have interests that align with a commitment to public education and the arts.
