Tenure-Track Position
Fashion Design and Fashion Communication

We are currently seeking a full-time, tenure-track faculty member to add to our expertise in fashion illustration. The successful candidate will be an innovator in their field, with an extensive portfolio demonstrating a wide range of illustrative experience with particular emphasis on the human figure. Comfortable in both traditional, and digital/photo based illustration, this candidate will lead and develop courses in both fields. With substantial teaching experience at the post-secondary level, they will be as comfortable in the lecture hall as in the drawing studio. Context courses and a planned MA - fashion will draw on the candidate's ability to engage students to consider current illustrative practice from a theoretical and historical perspective.

As well, the candidate will have a proven record of creative work and research. This might include fashion illustration; published editorial and/or advertising illustration; scholarly articles in academic journals and fine art exhibited in established galleries.
