Paul Levitz, Legion of Super-Teachers

Posted by Tom Mason Categories: Editorials, DC Comics,

If you’ve been wondering what Paul Levitz has been doing since he left his office at DC Comics, I can tell you one of those things: teaching. He’s an Adjunct Professor of Publishing at Pace University.

According to Pace, “during the Fall 2012 semester, Prof. Levitz will be teaching PUB 615, Comics & Graphic Novels. During the Spring 2013 semester he will be teaching a new course, PUB 619, The Future of Publishing: Transmedia, and he hopes to see many of the Pace M.S. in Publishing students in one or both of these classes.”

Hey, Professor! Can you draw Bugs Bunny? Or Batman? Or several dogs playing poker?

That’s not quite the idea, but if you can draw, the University of Connecticut could be looking for you.

They need an Assistant Professor of Illustration in their Art & Art History department.

It’s a “tenure-track position” starting in August 2012. The position will engage both undergraduate and graduate level students in BFA and MFA degree programs. Opportunities for collaboration exist between illustration and the other studio disciplines.

In addition to teaching you’ll also be working on “curriculum development, advising and serving on departmental committees.” That last bit's kind of a drag, unless there's catering.

Tons of the usual education-based qualifications will have to be met, along with the usual teaching based experience.
