Job Details
Recognising that diversity is important in achieving excellence, Rhodes University especially encourages South African members of underrepresented designated groups to apply. Spouses and Partners of existing staff members are also encouraged to apply.
Requirements:
A Masters' degree in Fine Art or Visual Arts, preferably with progress being made towards a PhD.
Teaching and supervisory experience in the media discipline of Fine Art Photography is required at the undergraduate level. Ability to teach in the following disciplinary areas: Fine Art Practice courses in both analogue and digital Photography.
Successful candidate must demonstrate ability to supervise at a postgraduate level if no such experience has yet been achieved. Emerging national profile in the visual arts. In addition, a proven track record in administration, management and/or leadership which is relevant in terms of studio administration and sectional budgeting is required.
For additional information on the requirements on the different levels, please refer to the Academic Role Profile.
It is essential that prospective candidates read the role profile, further particulars relating to this post and ensure that all relevant documentation is submitted.
Please note that this appointment will be made in line with the requirements of the Employment Equity Act of RSA and the University's recruitment and selection policies and equity strategies. The initial focus will be on equity candidates.
In terms of Immigration Legislation (Act No. 13 of 2002 & Regulations), international staff members (non-SA citizens) have to comply with the provisions of the Act. This therefore means that the period of employment to non-SA citizens will be guided by the validity period of the work permit. In line with legislation governing employment of foreign nationals, employment contracts will be offered on the basis that a development plan would be implemented for the transfer of skills to a South African resident. The onus is on candidates to ensure that they are in possession of a valid work permit before the commencement of employment at the University, failing which the employment with Rhodes University will be terminated.
VERY IMPORTANT: The system DOES NOT allow for multiple attachments. This means that candidates should submit all the documentation as one attachment for each application i.e. An application form, a letter of motivation which clearly indicate your interest in the post and suitability in light of the requirements for the post, a comprehensive CV, relevant qualifications and a Portfolio (preferably a link).
