Description

St. Edward’s University invites applications for an adjunct teaching position for the Spring, 2009 semester. This is a non-tenure track faculty position in the Graphic Design Program. Responsibilities of this position include teaching 2 studio sections of a course for junior majors (GDES 3335 Interaction Design). This course explores design issues unique to user-centered interaction in digital media. Students examine a range of formal and conceptual issues including user interface, organization, narrative, motion, time and sound. Content development, sequencing, interactivity and navigation are also explored. Students will use observational techniques as a source for design inspiration and prototyping techniques as a method for gaining user feedback. Students begin with observational and data-gathering strategies to better understand their audience. Rapid iteration of sequential prototypes is used to evolve designs and to create physical models for user testing, input, and subsequent revisions.

A Master of Fine Arts degree in Graphic Design or a closely related field preferred. We will consider candidates with a BFA and significant professional experience. Position requires sound communication skills, course management and development skills, and the ability to work with a wide array of people including students, faculty and administrators. Must be knowledgeable about and capable of using current technology related to course. Teaching experience desirable. Successful completion of an employment and/or criminal history background check required.
