Position Summary
The Studio Arts Program at Trinity College invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track Assistant Professor position beginning fall 2027 in the area of painting. The candidate will be head of the painting area, teaching across all levels of painting, overseeing facilities, and developing the curriculum in innovative ways. Other responsibilities include mentoring students, departmental service, participation and contribution to departmental programming, and service to the college. The teaching load is 2/2 for the first two years (and 3/2 thereafter, five courses per year), with a one-semester paid leave every fourth year. Position offers a competitive salary and benefits, a start-up expense fund, ongoing annual research funds, conference travel funds and a personal studio space.
We are especially interested in candidates who welcome the interchange of ideas that working at a liberal arts college provides, and whose scholarly and creative interests would lend to trans-disciplinary collaboration (whether via research or pedagogy). Additionally, we seek a colleague who will engage with the city of Hartford and is able to incorporate into their teaching the diverse roles of art in a global and urban context.
Trinity is a highly selective, independent, nonsectarian liberal arts institution located in the capital city of Hartford, Connecticut. The college maintains a rigorous academic profile complemented by a vibrant co-curricular program. With more than 2,100 full-time undergraduate students, representing forty-three states and ninety-one countries, we consider our location in a culturally and socioeconomically diverse capital city to be among Trinity's most distinctive assets; and we cultivate strong connections with our surrounding neighbors and with institutions and organizations throughout Hartford and the region. As a preeminent liberal arts college in an urban setting, Trinity College prepares students to be bold, independent thinkers who lead transformative lives.

Applicants must demonstrate evidence of excellence in teaching as well as continued, strong, professional accomplishments in their field on a national and international level.

The department prioritizes a candidate's broad intellectual rigor and capacity to teach a wide spectrum of painting techniques and concepts to majors and non-majors. Applicants must hold an MFA degree or equivalent. Two years or more teaching experience preferred.
Compensation
Competitive salary and benefits, plus start-up expense fund.
