The Graphic Design Program at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign invites applications for a one year position from August 16, 2009 - May 16, 2010.

Our program is in search of an emerging designer who has recently earned their MFA in Graphic Design and who has something interesting to say. The ideal candidate is someone who desires to further develop their work within the context of a university setting and teaching environment. This opportunity is aimed to be a test bed for scholarly and creative activity, and should serve as a springboard into a tenure track position at an academic institution or back into the professional design world.
