Divisional Rank (if any):
Position description (please provide details about the position need):
[form will expand as needed]
This ISS 1 position will be responsible for assisting with tasks in the art studios that
are necessary for the art classes to function (the studio is essentially a LAB, which
requires a LAB tech). This work includes, in ceramics: loading and firing kilns, mixing
glazes and clay, studio upkeep, equipment maintenance, and assistance in the
classroom as needed such as preparation for demos and lectures. In the 2D studios,
work will include classroom prep and assistance during classes with equipment and
materials.
Statement of Need (Justify the need for the position)
This is a replacement position for the former art studio technician (Bob Jarrellterminated spring 2013). Currently part-time ceramics and fine art faculty are doing the
technician work in addition to their teaching, by working during what should be
instructional time and unpaid outside of class for roughly the same number of hours as
requested. If there is a technician, then part-time faculty can focus on instruction in
class and outside of class (also unpaid) on the clerical work that is required by the
college and by the demands of a growing program (along with supervising the
technician).
