[Air-L] Two Hires, One Tenure-Track, One Lecturer in Media Arts, at Marist College, near NYC

[Karen Schrier Shaenfield]

Sorry for cross-listings!

Hello LEGers! It's hiring time!

I am looking for a few partners-in-crime to join the Media Arts
department and teach in the brand new Media Studies and Production
major at Marist College. This year there are two open positions: one
is tenure-track and one is a professional lecturer (an ongoing
position, which can be renewed, potentially, indefinitely).

See below for the fine print!

Marist College is located in Poughkeepsie, New York, in the beautiful
Hudson Valley--a great place to live, but also just within commuting
range of New York City. It's been wonderful being here and raising my
family here!

The students are absolutely amazing and a joy to teach and work with.
If you love teaching, the flexibility to pursue your own scholarly or
artistic interests, like having a balanced lifestyle, and want to be
in the New York metro area, then this is the place for you. I really
love working at Marist.

Please email me any questions! See more at

(Note that it says hours are 8:30-5 pm M-F, but that is just a
formality. Actual hours will vary quite a bit! There's also no
official deadline on the ad, but I would unofficially recommend
submitting an application within the month.)
