Two Associate/Assistant Professorships in Game Development

The IT University is seeking applications for two positions as
Associate or Assistant Professor of game development. Candidates
should demonstrate a commitment to innovation in game development and
enthusiasm for multi-disciplinary work that brings together students
and faculty from a range of backgrounds. The ability to conduct
research at the highest international level within game development
and the technical aspects of game production is crucial. Relevant
areas of research and teaching are:

- Game AI,
- Game Interface Design and Playtesting,
- Game Development and Project Management,
- Software Engineering for Game Development,
- Game Systems Architecture,
- Game Graphics and Animation

We are particularly interested in candidates working on innovative
interfaces (be it hardware or software), AI for narrative and
storytelling, technologies to support new game forms (casual,
open-ended, sandboxes, etc.), and independent game development &
distribution methods. The successful candidate must document
internationally recognized research and have experience with teaching
and curriculum development.

The Media Technology and Games program is an international English
language program that focuses on game design, analysis, and
technology (for more information visit http://www.itu.dk/mtg/).
Students follow a shared core curriculum and specialize in either
design & analysis or technology. The program has a strong commitment
to project work and collaboration amongst the students on actual game
productions. We seek applicants who are enthusiastic about helping
build a games program and are interested in teaching & supervising
students who are focused on analyzing and developing games.
Candidates must themselves be pursing a strong research program in
the field of game research & development and the ability to attract
external funding is also highly valued.

The IT University is a multi-disciplinary, research-based institution
with 30 faculty drawn from computer science to the humanities. We
provide graduate education to more than 1000 students in a range of
areas and will be starting a bachelor's program in software
development in 2007 (for more info about our programs visit
http://www1.itu.dk/sw5211.asp). Faculty are expected to actively seek
external funding for research, to establish relations with
organizations outside the university (from companies to non-profits),
and, at the Associate level, be capable of and prepared to supervise
Ph.D. students. Faculty also are core contributors in the development
of their research group. The Center for Computer Games Research group
(http://game.itu.dk) currently consists of 6 people including two
associate professors, one assistant professor, and three Ph.D.
students.

Questions about the position can be directed to associate professor
T.L. Taylor, Center for Computer Games Research, IT University of
Copenhagen, tltaylor at itu.dk, +45 7218 5035. For full information
