Job Description

The Collaborative Arts undergraduate degree program (BFA) of New York University?s Tisch School of the Arts seeks a full-time, non-tenure track Assistant Arts Professor of Visual / Multidisciplinary Arts to join our faculty beginning Fall 2025.  Collaborative Arts is a new and innovative undergraduate BFA program housed within Tisch?s Institute of Performing Arts and is committed to training a new generation of interdisciplinary artists.  We value creative cooperation, theoretical rigor, hands-on experimentation and play. We prioritize process over product and encourage our students to "try before they know how or why". Our ethos can be defined as "learning by doing." Our first-year core curriculum introduces students to the fundamentals of a broad array of disciplines and mediums. These include: movement, acting, performance art, visual art, music production, filmmaking, emerging media and technology, playwriting, screenwriting, and art theory. These classes are followed in subsequent years with collaborative arts electives, and practice-based collaborative workshops where a variety of approaches, disciplines, and theories are intertwined. Student training culminates in final capstone projects.  Duties:  Full-time faculty are expected to show continued achievement in their professional and artistic work. Professional work that crosses disciplines is expected and valued. In keeping with one of the founding principles of the Tisch School of the Arts, we believe that our students are inspired most by learning from working artists. Faculty teach five courses per year, participate in the advising and mentoring of students, participate in departmental and school-wide committees and meetings, facilitate and lead departmental events, workshops, labs and student showcases.  In compliance with NYC?s Pay Transparency Act, the annual base salary range for this position is $75,000 - $115,000.

New York University considers factors such as (but not limited to) scope and responsibilities of the position, candidate?s work experience, education/training, key skills, internal peer equity, as well as market and organizational considerations when extending an offer. We are seeking an imaginative and skilled multidisciplinary visual artist to join our full-time faculty and lead our students in the exploration of meaningful connections between artistic disciplines. Successful candidates are working professionals and educators who have a robust studio practice, and who mix traditional and cutting-edge theory in their practice to create work.  Candidates must have teaching experience and be able to demonstrate expertise in several of the following areas: visual and fine art, drawing and illustration, sculpture, painting, installation, graphic design, computer-generated arts and animation, web-based media, performance and video art, etc. Collaborative Arts is housed in the Institute of Performing Arts and we seek artists/educators whose practice and pedagogy include a thorough understanding and appreciation of performativity. Faculty must be able to design and teach core and elective courses that meet the needs of our students by providing experimental platforms for exploring new ideas and connections between disciplines. Our ideal candidates will possess a broad range of demonstrable technical proficiency in their areas of expertise and show continued achievement in their professional and artistic work as members of faculty. Faculty must embrace the values of inclusivity and diversity in curricular design, the classroom, and their professional field. # Cover Letter stating your interest, teaching philosophy and expertise relevant to the position  # Curriculum Vitae  # Evidence of teaching effectiveness including select course syllabi and evaluations  # Three letters of reference accompanied by bio and contact information from each referrer  # Work samples that best represent areas of expertise as outlined in the Cover Letter.
