3D Animation Lecturers – Seeking Graduates

Are you a graduate with a Masters degree (or PhD) in design, IT, computer graphics, animation, 3D, Media, Film & Television etc? We are looking for people with a passion for digital creation to join our growing faculty. Our Animation School is staffed by talented 3D artists with relevant industry experience. Usually we would prefer applicants with extensive experience in a generalist role, or in a multitude of specializations. Skills and knowledge in at least one area such as character animation, modelling, lighting, texturing, rigging etc is usually necessary.

In this case, we are looking for post-grads with passion, skill and an understanding of research in the CGI area. You would be able to deliver one or a series of seminars to our student that come from all over the world, though mostly Kiwis. You be able to share knowledge or teach skills. We’re looking for both.

Have you researched a cutting-edge technology? Have your qualitatively researched and commented on the use of new technologies in media, film, television? Have you quantitatively measured the impact of new technologies? Have you spent time investigating how the industry pipeline works, developed or could be improved?

As a lecturer you will need good communication skills, confidence, leadership skills and be able to relate well to others. We have a family-friendly environment, with a Government-approved early childhood centre on site. We have a strong record of over 80% graduate placement into the industry, therefore we will encourage your ongoing involvement in associations, networks and industry events.
