Job Description

Founded by the Sisters of Charity of New York, the University of Mount Saint Vincent is an academically excellent, authentically inclusive, Catholic and ecumenical liberal arts university. The University combines a strong core curriculum with a full array of majors in the liberal arts and, within the tradition of liberal education, selected professional fields of study.

At Mount Saint Vincent, a student’s education extends beyond knowledge, skills, and preparation for work. We seek the development of the whole person. In the spirit of Vincent de Paul and Elizabeth Ann Seton, we foster an understanding of our common humanity, a commitment to human dignity, and a full appreciation of our obligations to each other.

Position Overview:

The Division of Communication, Art, and Media offers a robust practical and theoretical education across disciplines including communication, studio art, theatre, visual arts, and experimental media. Located in New York City, the University’s programs emphasize real-world application, professional development, and strong industry connections.

The Division of Communication, Art, and Media at the University of Mount Saint Vincent invites applications for an adjunct faculty position to teach two undergraduate 3D courses during the Fall 2025 semester.

  • ART 311 CERAMICS I: DESIGNING IN CLAY I is an introductory studio course offering a hands-on exploration of working with clay. Students will learn foundational ceramic techniques with a primary focus on hand-building methods such as pinch, coil, and slab construction, and beginning glazing and firing techniques. Through a series of structured projects, students will address both functional and sculptural approaches to form, examining how utility, aesthetics, and personal expression intersect in ceramic design.
  • ART 312 3D DESIGN examines design as a deliberate process starting with identifying formal elements of three-dimensional design (space, perspective, form, scale, volume, mass, texture, and light) and how to effectively utilize design principles to organize them. Material exploration will include wire, clay, cardboard, wood, and found materials. Skills acquired in this course have direct applications to anyone working in art and design to the majority of us who rely on visual communication in our everyday life.

Start and End Date: August 25, 2025 to December 16, 2025


Course Schedule:

ART 311 CERAMICS I: DESIGNING IN CLAY - Thursdays | 11:15 AM to 2:20 PM | 3 credits

ART 312 3D DESIGN – Thursdays | 2:30 PM to 5:30 PM | 3 credits

Requirements

  • A graduate degree (MFA or MA) in Ceramics, Sculpture, Studio Art, or a closely related field.
  • A demonstrated commitment to undergraduate teaching and student engagement
  • Experience in both critical/theoretical and technical/studio aspects of ceramics and 3D design
  • Prior teaching experience in higher education is strongly preferred
  • Proficiency in ceramic hand-building and wheel techniques, 3D design principles, material handling (e.g., clay, wire, cardboard, wood), and the use of tools and equipment related to ceramics and sculpture, including basic kiln operation and safety procedures.

Benefits

  • The allotted salary for this position is $1,000 per credit per course
  • Access to ceramic and sculpture studios when class is not in session
  • Opportunity to present in “Fall Visiting Artist Lecture Series” (Thursdays)
  • Join a close-knit, interdisciplinary art department with opportunities to attend events, build community, and help generate excitement around the art majors.
