Job Details
Landmark College (LC) is a highly entrepreneurial accredited college for neurodivergent students with learning differences (LD; including dyslexia, ADHD, autism, and executive function challenges). We are proud to be an inclusive space for students to gain a postsecondary education in the liberal arts, sciences, and applied fields. Located within the broader tri-state region of Vermont, New Hampshire, and Northwest Massachusetts, our beautiful southern Vermont campus is also within easy driving distance to major cities like Boston and New York. If you aspire to teach in your field while making a difference in the lives of neurodiverse students, Landmark is the right place for you.
Currently we are seeking applications for an assistant professor in digital art to join the Fine and Performing Arts Department in fall 2023. Preferred candidates will be practicing artists who are committed to undergraduate teaching and have an interest in working with neurodiverse students. Opportunities for course design are anticipated. Qualified applicants will have experience teaching courses in digital photography, animation, video, emerging media, and/or other 2D/4D disciplines based on their background and interests.
The successful candidate will contribute to the vision and curriculum for the B.A. in Integrated Arts, which teaches core principles inherent to the performing and studio arts: context, craft, and critique. The Fine and Performing Arts department also supports the development of creative expression for all Landmark College students as part of the general education program.
Assistant professors are expected to be active community members; to engage in scholarly work in their field or in the scholarship of teaching and learning; and to pursue professional development. We are intentionally building a community that is diverse in areas including and not limited to ethnicity, gender, gender identity, national origin, neurodiversity, physical ability, race, and religion.
Qualifications: An MFA is required. Previous teaching experience at the college level is preferred.
Interested candidates should submit a cover letter, résumé, and full contact information for three references (references will not be checked until finalist stage) to the Director of Human Resources: humanresources@landmark.edu. Landmark College is committed to enhancing the diversity of its community in many realms and is an Equal Opportunity Employer (EEO). To find out more please visit us: www.landmark.edu.
Company
While many colleges offer special programs for students with learning disabilities (LD) and other learning challenges, Landmark College is one of the only accredited colleges in the United States designed exclusively for students who learn differently, including students with learning disabilities (such as dyslexia), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and autism.
Landmark College’s mission is to transform the way students learn, educators teach, and the public thinks about education. We provide highly accessible approaches to learning that empower individuals who learn differently to exceed their aspirations and to achieve their greatest potential. Through the Landmark College Institute for Research and Training, the College aims to extend its mission across the nation and throughout the world.
Students at Landmark College get far more personal, directed assistance than at traditional colleges that often offer a grab bag of accommodations for students with learning disabilities, ADHD, or autism. Students at Landmark College receive individualized attention from classroom instructors—in courses tailored to meet their educational needs. This is evidenced by our exceptionally low student/faculty ratio of 6:1. Our experienced advisors meet frequently with students to review and guide their progress. In addition to advising, a wide array of other academic support is integral to a Landmark College education, including executive function coaching, educational technology support, and the services of our centers for academic support. All instructors are trained professional educators, not teaching assistants or peer tutors.
Landmark College is located in Putney, Vermont, in the southeastern part of the state. The campus is two and a half hours from Boston and four hours from New York. Southern Vermont also has a great deal to offer. Within half an hour of campus, faculty, staff and students can find amenities more often associated with an urban environment, including movie theaters, shops, restaurants, live music, art, and theater. Members of the campus community who love the outdoors will find world-class skiing, snowboarding, hiking, kayaking, and mountain biking just minutes from campus.
Our Office of Human Resources strives to ensure that we are an employer of choice, attracting and retaining uniquely talented individuals able to advance the College’s position as the college of choice for students who learn differently. We are committed to a philosophy that recognizes each person as an individual, worthy of respect, trust, dignity and fair treatment, and we apply these tenets to serve, support, and value all members of our community.
