The Opportunity

The Department of Design in the Faculty of Fine Arts and Communications invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track appointment in Design History at the rank of Assistant Professor, commencing July 1, 2025, subject to final budgetary approval.

The MacEwan Design Department has been graduating well-respected designers for 50 years. We are the largest Bachelor of Design program in Alberta, with more than 350 students, 40 faculty, and 55 unique design courses, and the only user-experience design major between Vancouver and Toronto. This degree is unique in Canada, envisioning design as not just an applied art but also an applied social science. This human-centered approach will allow students to better understand the audience/users they are designing for, and to more effectively evaluate their design outcomes. The degree currently has four main pathways – Visual Communication Design, Digital Experience Design, Photo, Video and Motion Graphics, and Illustration.

The Design Department at MacEwan University prepares students to become the creative design leaders of tomorrow. Students are immersed in the knowledge, processes, methods and skills of the discipline, learning the ability to research and identify problems and provide communication solutions within a given commercial, social and environmental context, using tools of the field to give form to their concepts while recognizing the cultural significance and meaning of them, communicating and defending solutions to team members and stakeholders, and organizing and managing design projects and client relations.

In this role, you will:

  • Instruct students in design history and design issues lecture and seminar courses.
  • Provide students with ways to connect design history, theory, and issues with design studio practice.
  • In consultation with the Design Department, create and maintain a pedagogical vision, and provide leadership for design history and issues courses within the department.
  • Serve on university-wide, faculty and departmental committees as needed.
  • Foster interdisciplinary approaches and establish ties with other departments including, but not limited to, Studio Arts, Communications Studies, Arts and Cultural Management, Theatre, Music.

Qualifications

You will:

  • Hold a minimum of a PhD (ABD will be considered) in design history, material culture, and/or a related field; li>
  • Have an understanding of design history’s global connectedness and a diversity of perspectives on design practice.
  • Have the ability to teach a variety of design history and design issue subjects at multiple levels in the curriculum, from introductory courses to senior lectures and/or seminars.

You will submit a cover letter (with competition number stated), curriculum vitae, teaching dossier (including teaching philosophy, teaching evaluations, sample course outlines and projects), statement of research interests and experience (including examples of your scholarly work, communications and publications).
