Comic Book Jobs: University of Wisconsin

Those who can’t do teach. These who can’t teach, teach gym.

But those who draw comics can teach comics.

If you’re one of those interested in making a leap into full-time employment, then there’s a school looking for you. The University of Wisconsin at Stout is looking for Multimedia Design Assistant Professor - Comics and Sequential Art.

It’s a “Full-time, Tenure-Track, Entry-Level Teaching Position” in the School of Art and Design.

It starts in August 2012, but the application process ends in February, so get cracking.

Here’s the course listing:

Comic Book Jobs: Northern Michigan U

Heads up, Eggheads.

If you’re tired of the grind of drawing comic books for a living and would like a job with steady hours, summers off and a chance at tenure, then it might be time to go back to school. And teach about drawing comic books.

Northern Michigan University (Marquette, MI) is looking for an Assistant Professor of Illustration in their School of Art And Design.

They want “an energetic illustrator with previous university/college teaching experience, which could include graduate teaching assistantships.” So I guess your fill-in issue on The Fantastic Four won’t count for much.

There are a lot of requirements, as there would be for any teaching position, but one stood out: “Knowledge and understanding of concept art and sequential art (storyboarding/comic book) are also important.”

They’re going to want you to start teach in the fall, August 2011, and they’re accepting applications through March 7, so you have about a month to get your resume together and make your pitch.

Good luck, Professors!
