Responsibilities:

The New School is strongly committed to diversity and inclusion in the workplace and particularly seeks applications from members of underrepresented groups, as well as candidates who share this commitment.

The School of Fashion (https://www.newschool.edu/parsons/fashion-school/) at Parsons, The New School, is seeking Part-Time Faculty to teach in our sophomore year Interaction courses. The course is divided into a Studio and Lab component:

Core Studio Interaction:

This course exposes students to thorough and elaborate interactive concepts and techniques for applications. It is an extensive investigation in the interface, the mechanism, the controls and the aims of interactive works. Students will learn how to design and develop complex interactive projects and understand how to undertake a comprehensive research and direct their thinking process from brainstorming to final outcome. They will be given the tools to conceive, plan and develop an interactive system and they will become aware of the importance of their role in the development of interactive media.

Specialized Studio 2 expands on Design Studio courses and Specialized Studio 1, and gives the student the opportunity to build additional pathway-specific skills and techniques within 2D/3D executions. Students will have the opportunity to continue their pathways and further articulate their visions through 2D/3D processes, emphasizing innovation and personalization of technique. Students will continue integrating 3D software technology such as CLO 3D, and if applicable, other previously-learned 3D software, into design processes and final development. Specialized Studio 2 works collaboratively with Design Studio 4.

Core Lab Interaction:

This course serves as a complement to Core Studio Interaction. The assignments are built to work in tandem with the projects students are developing in the studio class.

The Lab is designed around a series of small workshops that teach beginning and

intermediate interaction design through a hands-on engagement with HTML and CSS .

Although prior teaching experience is preferred, applicants with no prior teaching experience may apply if their professional practice speaks to qualities listed below.
