This position offers a rare opportunity to shape the future of a print program. The successful candidate will serve as a key link between the School of Art & Art History and Graphicstudio, engaging with its master printers, visiting artists, and programming, and creating pathways for students to learn alongside professional collaborative printmaking. Working with School faculty, Graphicstudio, and the USF Contemporary Art Museum, "CAM", the candidate will help bring studio teaching, collaborative production, exhibition, and research into closer conversation. We are looking for a visionary colleague who will help us expand our printmaking program and establish USF as a destination for printmaking education and innovation.
