Salary is commensurate with qualifications and based on University of California pay scales.
The Department of Art offers BA and MFA degrees in Art and interdisciplinary minors in Digital Art and Public Art within the dynamic setting of a world-class research university. We provide contemporary, traditional, multi- and interdisciplinary approaches to artistic production and are committed to creative research that investigates the relationship between practice and inquiry within the larger context of historical and contemporary concerns. The Department has strong historic ties to independent undergraduate research, including through the College of Creative Studies, and to new media research through the Media Arts Technology graduate program. In addition, there is ample scope for inter- and intra-campus collaborations with colleagues in other departments both at UCSB and across the University of California system.
The successful candidate will teach sculpture at all levels and demonstrate an understanding of how sculpture intersects with other mediums, including painting, drawing, photography, digital arts, and performance. They will be expected to mentor graduate students and contribute to departmental administrative responsibilities, including program planning and committee work.
The University is especially interested in candidates who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community through research, teaching, and service as appropriate to the position.
