**FACULTY POSITION TITLE: PRODUCT DESIGN (DEPD) INSTRUCTOR - Competition ID: 3221**
**POSITION TYPE**: Qualified Faculty List

Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) proudly offers all learners opportunities to achieve success in a diverse range of programs that blend theory and practice, critical understanding, and social and ethical awareness necessary for good citizenship and rewarding careers.

KPU takes its name from the Kwantlen First Nation. We work, study, and live in a region south of the Fraser River which overlaps with the unceded traditional and ancestral lands of the Kwantlen, Musqueam, Katzie, Semiahmoo, Tsawwassen, Qayqayt, and Kwikwetlem peoples.

**FACULTY OVERVIEW**
Imagine working in a new, cutting-edge facility backed by a 30-year history as an industry leader. The Wilson School of Design (WSD) located on our Richmond campus, has eight different programs that encourage students to take risks and innovate in small, personalized classes offering intensive hands-on learning experiences and state-of-the-art equipment.
The Product Design program links creativity and innovation through the transformation of ideas into marketable products. Students in Product Design formulate sustainable and ethical design solutions that are both creative and marketable for the local and global economy. In our hands-on program, students experience the entire product design process. They identify problems and explore many different fields such as recreational and technical gear, sportswear, and accessories, protective, safety, and rescue equipment. Students explore product design in medical, industrial, and technological contexts as well as everyday consumer goods. Our students also acquire marketing and business capabilities to strategize, develop and promote leading-edge prototypes and products, using new and existing materials.

Working in collaboration with professional associations and practicing designers, graduates develop and design products that are relevant for Canadian and international economies, providing product solutions for emerging, needs that can improve people's everyday lives and wellbeing.

**POSITION OVERVIEW**
The Product Design program is seeking to hire for our Qualified Faculty List which is utilized for Non-Regular type 1 contracts as they come available. A non-regular Type 1 faculty member is a non-regular faculty member who is hired for a defined period, to teach specific courses or perform specific work such as substitutions, vacation coverage, short-term emergency hires and other work that is not expected to be ongoing. The Product Design program is also updating its Qualified Faculty List and is vetting current instructors from across KPU for its current “Calendar Descriptions” as well as for the future listed “Areas of Expertise”.

More information concerning the working conditions for a faculty member are outlined in Article 12 of the Kwantlen Faculty Association (KFA) Collective Agreement
