Part-Time Ceramics Instructor

Description

At San Francisco University High School, we believe that the deepest learning requires collaboration among people who embody a diversity of backgrounds, beliefs, experiences, and perspectives. Building and sustaining a community composed of a wide range of social and cultural identities requires that all members have the resources they need to thrive. To this end, we must further our self- knowledge, our ability to communicate effectively across individual differences, and our capacity to cultivate an anti-racist, anti-oppressive school culture mindful of systemic barriers to equity. We do this work on a personal, professional, and an institutional level, recognizing that our community is part of a larger and more complex world. 

San Francisco University High School wishes to announce an opening for a Part-Time Ceramics Instructor in our Visual Arts program. The position consists of teaching two sections of Ceramics I: our introductory hand-building course, in the Fall; and two sections of Ceramics II: our intermediate sculpting course with supplemental teaching on the pottery wheel, in the Spring. Students entering in level I should be able to thrive with no prior experience.

Preferred candidates should have experience in teaching, with a graduate or bachelor degree in studio art, and experience using ceramic studio equipment and maintaining consistent kiln firing schedules. Candidates should have proficiency with hand-building and pottery, with additional experience in other 2-D and 3-D mediums encouraged. 

San Francisco University High School is a college preparatory school. We seek teachers who are thoroughly educated in their disciplines, who are devoted to the love of learning, and who will contribute to the school's invigorating intellectual climate. Throughout the school, we seek to hire adults who are stimulating and supportive in their work with students and who share our belief in the moral and educational value of diversity.

If you are interested in being a candidate, please prepare a resume, cover letter, and a link to your portfolio. Please submit all materials using the online application.
