Assistant/Associate Professor of Printmaking (Tenure Track)
The Hartford Art School invites applications for a Tenure Track Assistant/Associate Professor of Printmaking beginning in Fall 2021.
The position requires teaching three courses each semester for all levels of students from First Year Foundations Drawing through Sophomore, Junior and Senior-level Printmaking classes. Expectations include actively and regularly engaging in the Printmaking Department and Art School, extracurricular activities, student advising, committee service, program development, as well as producing a record of creative or research activities that meet tenure requirements.

In addition, our Kaman Print Study Center houses the prints produced during these workshops, alongside a collection of historical and contemporary works on paper.
