The department of Art History, Theory, and Criticism at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) seeks applications for a full-time, renewable appointment in visual print culture, including illustration. The successful candidate will help advance and diversify MICA’s Liberal Arts curriculum serving undergraduate and graduate students. Scholars in history, art history, visual cultural studies, and allied fields are encouraged to apply.

We are particularly interested in candidates whose research and teaching investigates the construction and consequences of intersecting social categories or foregrounds the voices of underrepresented historical agents and authors. The successful candidate will engage with global flows and processes of cultural exchange, address popular culture, and/or advance critical approaches to canons in visual studies. The successful candidate will also be enthusiastic about teaching graduate MFA students as well as studio art, humanities, and art history majors, and will engage in innovative modes of instruction.

This faculty member will teach 18 credits per year (three courses per semester generally split between graduate and undergraduate courses). During the regular academic year, courses meet once per week for 3 hours. In addition to teaching, all full-time faculty are expected to pursue research and professional engagements that contribute to the educational mission of the Division of Liberal Arts and the College. Faculty are also required to meaningfully contribute to curricular development, faculty governance including peer evaluation, committee service, and scheduled student activities and events.

Requirements:

  • PhD in a relevant field by August 2022
  • Demonstrated capacity and enthusiasm for teaching studio art and humanities students at the undergraduate and graduate levels

Preferred Qualification: 

  • Two years of full-time teaching experience at the college level beyond graduate assistantships

Additional Information: Candidates must successfully complete a full background check, and comply with MICA's Vaccination policies.

Salary: Commensurate with experience and college policy. Excellent benefits package.
