SCAD Savannah seeks a nationally recognized experiential design professional for the associate chair of themed entertainment design to provide vision and leadership full-time within the SCAD School of Creative Technology.
Themed entertainment designers bring the stories and experiences of our world to life. They weave fictional and nonfictional narratives into compelling environments — places that elicit wonder and joy, communicate complex ideas, and translate emotional values into tangible experiences. At SCAD, the themed entertainment design program blends studios in design and planning with skill-based drawing and technical courses, as well as classes in storytelling and experience design.
As an associate chair, you will use your design proficiency and knowledge to help students develop skills in a creative environment with an emphasis on professional training for careers in themed entertainment. You will evaluate professors through class observations and reviews of student evaluations, service and professional development opportunities, and their contributions to department goals. With the Dean of the School of Creative Technology, you will be responsible for the daily operations of the themed entertainment design department, including the development, implementation, and oversight of the department budget; professional development opportunities for professors; decision-making for student academic matters; and placing students in internships and careers. Among other duties, you will create a strategic plan that is consistent with SCAD and School of Creative Technology's goals, assist the office of admission with undergraduate efforts, teach classes as assigned, and maintain and cultivate relationships in the field.
The successful candidate should be self-driven, a stellar communicator, and an excellent team player. As an associate chair, the candidate must have experience as a mentor, ability to multiple tasks with ease, and to re-prioritize tasks as needed to meet deadlines. Exceptional organizational skills are essential. Ideally, the candidate has TEA membership and is well-connected in the industry.
