Lecturer/Senior Lecturer in Computer Graphics, Victoria University of
Wellington, New Zealand
The Faculty of Engineering at Victoria University of Wellington is seeking a
new member of our computer graphics teaching and research team. Come and
join a collaborative and growing team and combine your passion for knowledge
with a life in one of the world's most desirable countries to live in.
The appointment is at the level of Lecturer or Senior Lecturer (equivalent
to a US Assistant Professor or Associate Professor), is a 50/50 split
between research and teaching, and is for a fixed term of four years. All
areas of computer graphics are of interest, but applications are
particularly welcome from people with interests in real-time 3D computer
graphics.
This is a rare opportunity to develop your academic career in a collegial
and collaborative environment at the heart of New Zealand's nexus of
industry, research and government. Wellington's landscape and lifestyle,
along with Victoria University's standing as the top research institute in
New Zealand, means that this position is an outstanding combination of
academic opportunity and work/life balance. The Faculty's strategic
direction and commitment to collaborative, inter-disciplinary and
world-leading academic work will mean that early-career and mid-career
academics will be able to enhance both their research and teaching
portfolios. We are committed to combining research excellence with
innovative and motivating teaching. For an early-career academic, this is an
ideal alternative to a post-doc, allowing you to follow your own research
agenda while also gaining valuable teaching experience. For a mid-career
academic, we offer a chance to consolidate your position in the
international community.
The computer graphics team teaches the specialist computer graphics
programmes at Bachelors and Masters level under the leadership of Professor
Neil Dodgson, undertakes world-class research including a Doctorate
programme, and has recently received significant funding for the new
Computational Media Innovation Centre (CMIC), a specialist research hub
directed by Professor Ken Anjyo and Associate Professor Taehyun Rhee. We
maintain strong connections with companies including Weta Digital (visual
effects, based in Wellington), and leading international games and animation
companies via CMIC.
