Professor of Graphic Design

SCAD Savannah seeks a full-time professor of graphic design to help lead the next generation of award-winning designers.

The core of graphic design at SCAD is the “Thinking by Doing” pedagogy. This approach - defined by three top-line objectives called “The Three Cs: consume, comprehend, create” - develops designers who understand and articulate their work from an informed point-of-view. From this foundation, students generate successful market-ready ideas, connect thought with form, and integrate work across media.

As a professor, you will aid students through peer and client collaboration in a productive, high-energy environment. You will also guide students as they learn to see the world differently and explore multiple perspectives in the field of graphic design.
The successful candidate can skillfully articulate a vision of graphic design education in the 21st century that aligns with the department’s mission to produce preeminent visual communicators who connect research, social responsibility, and pragmatism to deliver spectacular content.
