Full and Associate Professors
Product Design | Visual Communication
Reactions before: 17 September
The Faculty of Design and Art at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano (Italy) wishes to appoint full and associate professors in the area of Product Design or Visual Communication (in the role of project leader).
Only candidates who already hold a tenured academic position may express interest for the positions.
The Faculty of Design and Art currently offers a degree course (BA) in Design; a specialized course in Design (MA) as well as a degree course in Art (BA) are set to begin in the near future. Teaching at our faculty follows an interdisciplinary project-based model where product design and visual communication are supported by a strong complement of comprehensive theoretical subjects and intensive practical experience in workshops. The projects are organised by a team composed of teaching staff from practical and theoretical disciplines and co-ordinated by a graphic designer or product designer (project leader). The complex problems confronted by the teaching staff require keen analytical skills and stimulate research and the individual creation of new solutions. The projects are conceived with the aim of encouraging the acquisition of skills related to the work carried out and favouring the gradual development of a personal working method.
Teaching languages used at the faculty are English, Italian and German.
