Bennington College seeks an experienced recording engineer/sound designer who has professional studio experience and recognized artistic accomplishment in the field to join the faculty, in either full- or part-time capacity, beginning Fall 2018.
The candidate should be able to teach courses in both recording and mixing, help students to interweave technical and aesthetic points, while being open to a range of musical genres, backgrounds, and expression. A significant focus will be on facilitating and fostering creative and experimental student projects. There is special interest with candidates who also have experience in sound design in theater, dance, or sound art contexts. The candidate is also expected to develop more specialized courses in media such as theater, dance, film or radio, within the richly interdisciplinary context of Bennington College.
Faculty members at Bennington are teacher-practitioners whose professional work is in ongoing dialogue with their teaching and advising. Full-time faculty teach five courses over two terms, and engage in student advising. Bennington College is a small residential liberal arts college in southern Vermont, long distinguished for its progressive approach to higher education. The College was founded in 1932 on the principle of active engagement in learning, which is manifest in individualized plans of study developed by students together with faculty. We aim to educate students towards self-fulfillment and constructive social purposes, and we believe that equity, diversity, and inclusivity--in community and in curriculum--are vital to achieving those aims.

Review of applications will begin on February 14.
