• Summary

• Lecturer in Game Design & Development

• Join Us in Shaping the Future of Games

• The College of Emergency Preparedness, Homeland Security and Cybersecurity (CEHC) at the University at Albany is launching an exciting new chapter - and we're looking for a passionate, forward-thinking Lecturer in Game Design & Development (GDD) to help lead the way.

• As part of our growing Information Sciences & Technology Department, this role offers a unique opportunity to be a foundational voice in a vibrant, interdisciplinary program that blends creativity, technology, and innovation. We're not just teaching students how to make games - we're empowering them to explore how games can shape culture, solve problems, and drive change.

What You'll Do

• Teach a range of GDD courses, potentially including game programming, game art, game technology, UI/UX for games, game studies, the business of games, and more.
• Mentor and advise students, helping them grow as designers, developers, and thinkers.
• Contribute to the life of the program through service, co-curricular activities, and collaborative projects.
• Facilitate interdisciplinary research and client-based projects that bring real-world experience into the classroom.

Why This Role is Special:

• You won't just be teaching - you'll be helping to shape a bold, creative, and collaborative program from the ground up. This is a chance to work with a team that values experimentation, diversity of thought, and the power of games to inspire and connect.

We're looking for someone who brings:

• A strong foundation in game design and development, whether through teaching, industry experience, or both.

• A vision for how games can be used in innovative, interdisciplinary ways.

• A desire to help build something meaningful and lasting for students and the broader community.

• The University at Albany is an EO/AA/IRCA/ADA employer.
