The Mary Fox Whittlesey Visiting Professorship in Studio Arts
The Department of Fine Arts and Art History at the American University of Beirut invites applications for the 2020-2021 Mary Fox Whittlesey Visiting Professorship in Studio Arts to begin
August 15, 2020.
The candidate should be an artist who has demonstrated excellence in contemporary expanded practices in sculpture, installation art, sound art, trans-disciplinary media and/or data excavation. They will have an established record as an active artist, evidenced by engagement in workshops, lectures, residencies, exhibitions and similar activities. The candidate will also have evidence of scholarly research as well as a wide network of contacts in their field upon which to draw for the development of the SART BA program in FAAH.
The artist will be joining a developing Studio Arts Program composed of artists who address topics such as optics, pixel, image, text and critical visuality with a practice-based approach. The candidate will contribute to the department with complementary and new research interests, and develop syllabi related to their area of expertise to enhance the existing Studio Arts Program.
The Studio Arts BA Program is a sequential curricular structure organized to provide undergraduate art students with a strong foundation in studio skills and theory. The current faculty members, while trained and skilled in studio techniques including drawing, painting, sculpture and photography, do not espouse a conventional approach to the deployment of these techniques nor do they promote in their teaching a fidelity to any particular tradition in art. Rather, they all teach through the lenses of their own current practices in which the past, present and future of art are constantly being recomposed in dynamic constellations. The Program encourages a recalling of art from within current concerns and develops in students an ability to employ a large array of knowledge and skills with a readiness to open up towards studio-based and post-studio art practices.
We seek to recruit an artist who enthusiastically supports the Program’s strong commitment to the academic and creative endeavors of all of our students. The aim is to offer students a rich variety of expertise, perspectives and ways of knowing and learning. The Program is committed to creating a community in which a diverse population can learn, live and work in an atmosphere of civility and respect for the rights, desires and sensibilities of each individual.
Two to three years teaching experience at the university level and some administrative experience is preferred. An MFA or equivalent is a requirement.
The Department of Fine Arts and Art History offers BA degrees in Studio Art and in Art History, An MA in Art History and curating as well as minor degrees in Theatre and Music. The language of instruction is English.
The successful candidate will:
- Teach a 2:2 load with office hours.
- Teach and develop sophomore, junior and senior courses in the Studio Arts BA program.
- Participate and contribute to the development of a new MFA program in Studio Arts.
- Exhibit their artwork.
- Other related and associated duties.
Please submit the following application materials: a letter of interest, a Curriculum Vitae, a Portfolio
three letters of reference, and a sample syllabus.
Review of applications will begin on November 15, 2019 and continue on a rolling basis until the position is filled. Preference will be given to applications received before
December 15, 2019. Please note that initial interviews will take place by telephone or Skype.
