    As chair of production design, you will lead a dynamic faculty of accomplished professionals whose credits span film, television, Broadway, opera, commercial production, and live entertainment. United by a passion for visual storytelling, these artists bring exceptional expertise in set design, art direction, lighting, and costume design—empowering the next generation of creators to bring their unique visions to life. Your team will fulfill the university's mission and develop a strategic plan that aligns with its overall strategy to enhance the quality of the sound design department.

You will also coordinate the review of high-quality graduate student applications. You will participate in recruitment trips to review, interview, and recommend candidates, conduct presentations, and submit anticipated headcounts. In all decision-making capacities, you will exercise sound judgment.

    In assigned classes, you will guide students as they master production design and prepare for immersive careers in entertainment, from film and television, theater, live performances, and more. Responsibilities include collaboration with the institutional recognition office to submit student work to competitions and showcase outstanding work and coordination with the office of career and alumni success to assist with career and internship opportunities.

    Among other duties, you will establish new partnerships with professional academic organizations, anticipate trends to propose strategies for implementing academic programs, and address issues as needed. Additionally, you will prepare ad hoc reports, monitor departmental data for efficiency, and evaluate and approve purchase and travel requests per the departmental budget.
