- Supervision of student projects from conception to presentation and critical reflection

- Proven didactic experience, ideally in a higher education context

The call is aimed at independent positions from visual arts, poetic or experimental writing, who critically engage with language, body, identity, and publicness. We are looking for a person who understands their practice and language as situated, relational, somatic, sonic, or performative. The focus is not on language as a finished work or text product, but as action, process, presence, and social situation.
We especially encourage people from underrepresented groups regarding gender, nationality, ethnic or social origin, religion, disability, or age to apply. Applications from collectives or collaboratively working positions are explicitly welcome. A clear division of labor and a binding contact person are required. The position is offered as a visiting professorship with a total workload of 35%.
Our Offer
- The opportunity to contribute an independent practice for one academic year in teaching and exchange
- An open, experimental environment with actively participating students
- Very good infrastructure, workshops, and studios
- A committed team in a continuously developing study program
- Workplace: Campus Viscosistadt, Emmenbrücke
