    The Department of Film/Animation/Video in the Division of Fine Arts at Rhode Island School of Design invites applications for a full-time faculty appointment at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor, to commence fall 2025. Rank will be dependent on professional status and teaching experience. RISD recognizes principles of social equity, inclusion, and diversity as fundamental to its academic mission as an art and design school. We understand these principles to require ongoing attention to difference and expansion of the forms of knowledge from which our curricula originate. RISD is engaged in the collective work of institutional transformation and would value applicants whose pedagogical and professional experiences have prepared them to foster equitable teaching and learning environments. We encourage applicants whose teaching and professional work (creative practice and/or academic scholarship) centers on bodies of knowledge from historically underrepresented communities. We are eager to welcome applicants who can help advance the institution's social equity, inclusion, and diversity goals and those from groups whose underrepresentation in the American professoriate has been severe and long standing, including Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and other People of Color, people who identify as LGBTQIA+, veterans, people with disabilities, and first-generation college students. Area of Focus: Animation Animation is an ineffable connection between discrete images that results in a sensation of life. It shapes and creates time. It also requires an implicit collaboration between maker and viewer. Animation's materials are vast - almost every kind of object and substance. These materials include time itself, movement, and space. At RISD, faculty and students continually augment not only their skills and knowledge of animation, but also work to expand animation itself. The RISD FAV Department seeks candidates with deep knowledge of Animation and the ability to transform that knowledge into creative work, innovative teaching, curricular development, and engagement with our multilayered department.
