Description About the Department The Undergraduate Communications Design (UGComD) department seeks a new faculty member in ILLUSTRATION. The department offers a BFA in Communications Design with a concentration in either Graphic Design or Illustration (the cohorts typically run about 50/50). UGComD is one of the largest departments at Pratt and includes over 80 full-time and part-time faculty and around 500-600 majors. It is a lively community of accomplished and collaborative artists and designers who have thriving professional practice and/or research agendas. The student body is approximately 33% international and 67% domestic and reflects a diverse racial and ethnographic mix. About the School The School of Design at Pratt Institute educates curious makers in design practice to impact the world around them through the design of our messages, objects, spaces, and systems and experiences. Recognizing the interdisciplinary commonalities of our design disciplines, the school celebrates, connects, and educates designers whose creative endeavors will shape our world in critical ways. We believe that design connects: our work facilitates exchange, communication, and the building of community. Design enables: our work expands our physical and mental abilities. Design sustains: our work addresses the world's limited resources and our significant environmental challenges. Design empowers: our work promotes equality, inclusiveness, and the free movement of people. Design humanizes: our work offers civil solutions for improving quality of life. Located on Pratt's historic 25-acre campus in the culturally diverse neighborhood of Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, we are committed to the education and support of designers and professionals, and to building diversity in our curriculum and among our faculty, students, and staff and seek applicants who can contribute to meeting these goals. Position Summary The Undergraduate Communications Design department in the School of Design at Pratt Institute invites applications for a full time tenure-track faculty position at the Assistant Professor/Associate Professor rank to begin Fall 2025. The ideal candidate is an inventive, experimental, tech-forward thinker and maker who values both the fundamentals of visual communication (illustration-forward) while also expanding the discipline to be more inclusive and community-minded. Once hired, the candidate will be expected to teach required integrated courses in the curriculum (studios and seminars) that include both graphic design and illustration students, as well as illustration-specific courses. They are expected to have the mindset of an academic leader-to develop/reshape the existing curricula to adapt to changing needs in industry and society.

As a tenure-track hire, beyond teaching duties, candidates should demonstrably contribute to community and departmental leadership by being an advocate, mentor, and advisor to our students, participate in faculty governance at the department, college and campus-wide levels, as well as maintaining a robust professional practice and/or research agenda.
