two opportunities for non tenure track teaching positions in ceramics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison

I am pleased to announce two opportunities for non tenure track teaching positions in ceramics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison for the 2009-10 academic year.

We are looking to receive applications by June 15. Campus visits will not be scheduled, rather selection will be based on application materials and phone interviews. We will be able to offer shared studio space as part of this position. Please pass this information along to qualified applicants, and feel free to let me know if you have any questions. All application materials should be sent to the address listed on the links below.

Overview:

The ceramics program at UW Madison is part of an internationally known research university with a remarkable history. The ceramics area just moved into a new, state of the art facility in the newly renovated Art Lofts. The studio has all new equipment and kilns and is a beautiful, light filled space. Formerly a university warehouse, the Art Lofts now houses the Art Department’s glass lab, metal sculpture foundry, ceramics, graduate darkroom and digital facilities, and papermaking areas, along with studio spaces for more than 60 faculty and graduate students, and public spaces for the display of student and faculty artwork. Our other facilities and operations are housed in the George L. Mosse Humanities building on central campus, a few short blocks away. Graduate students in ceramics take part in a three-year, interdisciplinary program that emphasizes the relationship between the field of ceramics and diverse contemporary approaches to artistic practice, theory and criticism. The entire graduate program (roughly 80 students) emphasizes advanced visual research and includes extensive one-on-one interaction with faculty, guest critics and visiting artists. We actively encourage a wide range of material practices, experimentation and collaboration with other areas of the art department and the larger university. The ceramics area has one full time faculty member, Paul Sacaridiz, and a one year visiting artist appointment. We are seeking applicants for this position, as well as a one semester position to serve as a replacement while I am on a research leave.

Paul Sacaridiz
