Job Description:
The Department of Visual & Performing Arts at York College of Pennsylvania invites applications for an Adjunct Professor of Illustration to teach stacked sections of Illustration I, II, III, and IV during the Fall 2026 semester. The successful candidate will engage students at multiple skill levels within the same course environment while fostering technical development, conceptual growth, portfolio preparation, and professional practice across introductory through advanced illustration coursework.

Courses emphasize concept development, visual communication, typography, layout, professional practices, portfolio development, self-promotional identity, and creative problem-solving within contemporary illustration contexts.
Illustration coursework progresses from foundational studies in materials, methods, and illustration history toward advanced professional practices including portfolio construction, proposal writing, pricing, client interaction, and the completion of independent professional-level illustration projects.

Successful candidates will teach stacked sections of Illustration I, II, III, and IV in the Fall 2026 semester beginning August 31, 2026 and ending December 7, 2026.
