Director of Interdisciplinary Film and Digital Media Program

The University of New Mexico invites applications for the Director of the Interdisciplinary Film and Digital Media (IFDM) Program, starting in August 2008. This administrative appointment will come with a tenure-track/tenured academic appointment at the rank of Associate or full Professor in one or more schools or colleges at UNM, depending on the candidate’s qualifications. IFDM is an integrated interdisciplinary academic and research program designed to give students the necessary critical, creative, and technical skills to apply digital technologies in innovative and productive ways. The program links existing strengths at UNM in the College of Fine Arts, School of Engineering, College of Arts & Sciences, Anderson School of Management, and other schools and colleges. It provides students an opportunity to prepare for careers in the converging fields of digital media in science, art, and technology. The interdisciplinary breadth of the curriculum and its focus on critical, creative, technical, and collaborative learning in the curriculum was recognized by Sony Imageworks which named the University of New Mexico a partner in the Imageworks Professional Academic Excellence Program (IPAX).
