The Department of Design at DigiPen Institute of Technology invites applicants for potential future positions of Adjunct Faculty – System Design Instructor to help teach the next generation of designers. Join the pool of vetted faculty adjuncts for future adjunct instructor positions. Help students develop the necessary skills to succeed in the field of system design for games.

The Department of Design faculty who teach these topics are themselves subject matter experts who bring decades of first-hand industry experience from the world of mobile games, PC/console games, tabletop games, user research, and more.
