The Lewis & Clark College Art Department invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Art in Ceramics to begin in the fall of 2023. We seek an artist whose practice and teaching demonstrate a technical and critical understanding of contemporary issues in ceramic art and culture. The ideal candidate will be an artist and educator who thinks broadly about how ceramics intersects, converses with other artistic mediums, and crosses disciplines within a liberal arts context. Applicants should be versed in the theory, history, and technical aspects of the contemporary ceramic curriculum and may integrate new technologies of image production into their practice and teaching. Areas of expertise may include glaze chemistry, clay formulation, kiln fabrication, and mold-making.
An applicant’s exhibition record should demonstrate professional engagement and accomplishments relevant to the candidate’s practice. An MFA is required, and two or more years of teaching are preferred. The usual teaching load is five courses per academic year. Working with a technician, the position includes administrative oversight of the ceramics studio’s kilns, glazing, and clay mixing areas. The review of applications will begin on December 15, 2022, and continue until the position is filled. For complete position and application details, click:
