COMPUTATIONAL ART/CONVERGENT MEDIA ASSISTANT PROFESSOR College of Art & Design/Center for Computation and Technology (CCT) The LSU College of Art & Design, in partnership with the Center for Computation and Technology (CCT) at LSU announces a tenure-track faculty position in computational art/design and convergent media. This position will be expected to conduct sponsored research and creative activity in the fields of computational art or convergent media, teach discipline-related courses, and help develop additional discipline-related courses within the College of Art & Design. As a member of the CCT's Laboratory for Creative Arts & Technologies (LCAT) and Visualization, Interaction and Digital Arts focus area, the faculty member will be expected to conduct interdisciplinary research with other members of the focus area and at the CCT. Required Qualifications: Terminal degree in art, design disciplines, computer science, engineering or closely related field with a specialization in computer art, digital media or scientific visualization. Candidates with exceptional qualifications and experience will be considered at higher ranks. Additional Qualifications Desired: specialization in one or more of the following areas: computer animation, video art, scientific visualization, geo-spatial representation (GIS), convergent media, or human-computer interface; teaching experience. The CCT, directed by Dr. Edward Seidel, is a focal point of interdisciplinary research in the computational sciences across a wide array of disciplines, including computational mathematics, computer science, nanotechnologies, astrophysics and relativity, fluid dynamics, bio-informatics and the arts. Much of CCT's funding is being used to create new faculty positions and research groups in these areas, with the expectation that new faculty members will develop their own high profile, interdisciplinary research programs that complement existing national and international CCT projects. Faculty activities are expected to support and to be highly integrated into the complimentary goals of the College of Art & Design and the CCT. To enhance these activities, the CCT has developed active visitor and fellowship programs. As part of the initiative, CCT already hosts 1,024 and 256 processor beowulf clusters, a 48 processor G5 cluster, and the Center is building additional infrastructure such as an advanced visualization facility. In the summer of 2005, LSU will be connected to LONI (Louisiana Optical Network Initiative), a 40 Gbps high-speed network that links 8 major research facilities in the state to the National Lambda Rail. The College of Art & Design is composed of the Schools of Architecture, Art, Landscape Architecture, and the Department of Interior Design. The College is dedicated to design and fine arts expression and innovation through excellence in research, scholarship, and creative activity. Our unique blend of people, programs, resources, and interdisciplinary partnerships provides a vital foundation for promoting engaged learning and professional development. The faculty express their creative talents in a broad range of professional endeavors that impact the social, economic, and cultural milieu of contemporary society at a regional, national, and international scale. The College is recognized for educating artists and designers who attain the highest levels of professional and personal accomplishment, and become creative, engaged citizens who provide leadership to their respective professions and communities.
