Assistant Professor of Painting and Emerging Media - Visual Art

Colorado Springs (UCCS) invites applications for a tenure-track position of Assistant Professor of Painting and Emerging Media to begin Fall 2025. VAPA seeks a dynamic artist-scholar-teacher whose practice is centered in both painting and hybrid tactics that bridge traditional processes with emerging digital technologies.

The successful candidate will teach courses across the Visual Art program, including but not limited to lower- and upper- division classes in painting and digital media as well as foundational courses in 2-D foundations, drawing, and digital art. In addition, the individual will have opportunities to develop innovative courses in the Visual Art area and VAPA Interdisciplinary Core Curriculum that reflect their creative and scholarly interests.

The Visual Art Program at UCCS emphasizes contemporary art practice (cross-media creative exploration) and exists within the larger interdisciplinary orientation of the department (art history and visual culture, music, theatre/dance, and museum studies). The successful candidate will join a faculty that spans the arts in a curriculum enriched by engaged scholarship, diversity, experiential learning, and methodological innovation.
