Congratulations to !

“Throughout my whole career, I’ve created work in a variety of genres, from comedies like House Party to dramas like Marshall, and UCP has embraced that wide range of genres that interests me,” Hudlin said. “As we continue to grow and expand, we are keen on further developing our many outstanding projects — while still putting emphasis on quality Black entertainment with a global appeal. Our partnership with UCP, along with Ruby’s experience in not only film and television but also sports and live event productions, gives me the utmost confidence that we will be successful in connecting with the large audience hungry for the kind of stories we tell.”

Hello, my name is Booker Edwards, I am a Professor of Practice in the Creative Media Industries Institute at Georgia State University and we are currently looking to hire a Professor of Practice in Media Producing to start in the Fall 22 semester. The position description and how to apply are below.

PROFESSOR OF PRACTICE in MEDIA PRODUCING
The Creative Media Industries Institute (CMII) at Georgia State University in Atlanta invites applications for a Professor of Practice position in Media Producing, to start in August 2022 pending final budget approval. We seek an individual with a nationally recognized record of achievement in the media industries, broadly defined (e.g., the candidate might bring experience as executive producer with expertise in production finance/logistics, cross platform content creation, television, streaming, etc.)
QUALIFICATIONS: Position requires a minimum of 15 years of industry experience. Other advanced academic credentials are not required, given industry experience, though we welcome candidates who hold advanced degrees in a creative or media field. Applicants must have a thorough understanding of the creative and production pipeline in their sector of experience. Preference will be given to candidates who have classroom teaching or corporate training experience and a demonstrated passion for working with undergraduate and graduate students with technology interests. Candidates with a high degree of familiarity with some of the leading content creation software packages and production finance will be preferred.
DUTIES: The main duties include (1) a priority on working with colleagues to attract industrial collaborations and revenue-generating work to the Institute; (2) teaching in area of experience. Because of the expectation that Professors of Practice will remain engaged with content creation industries, CMII requires them to engage in commercially viable projects that include student participation, projects managed by the Institute Executive Director. Other potential work might include the supervision of student led projects, industry collaborations connected to the business of production and production pipelines, and active involvement in ongoing CMII administrative work.
Professors of Practice at Georgia State University connect nonprofit or corporate practitioners and accomplished executives to the more traditional academic work of a Research 1 university, including classroom instruction. This configuration enables CMII to attract exceptionally strong teachers and administrators who often bring extensive professional experience in the media and content creation industries, and to mentor new colleagues into classroom and student mentoring excellence.
CMII operates an advanced technology content creation center and offers undergraduate bachelor (BA/BS) degree programs in Game Design & Development and a Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies (BIS) in Media Entrepreneurship, as well as an MFA concentration in Virtual Production launching in Fall 2022. CMII employs research and teaching faculty, as well as industry-experienced Professors of Practice. CMII is an interdisciplinary unit in the College of Arts and Sciences and the College of the Arts, created to develop 21st century storytellers prepared for work in the media and arts industries, to mentor students interested in entrepreneurship, and to develop research-connected industry partnerships.
Georgia State University (est 1913), an enterprising R-1 university, is located in downtown Atlanta, a metropolitan area that serves as one of the nation’s film and media communication hubs, and is home to the state capitol, The Martin Luther King, Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change, the Auburn Avenue Research Library on African American Culture and History, The Carter Center, the National Center for Civil and Human Rights, CNN, and the CDC. The university is proud to enroll and graduate one of the most diverse student bodies in the nation. CMII is committed to serving this student body and advancing innovative research by building a diverse faculty.
Full time employees enjoy benefits such as: retirement savings plans with matching funds, health insurance options (a variety of medical, dental, and vision plans), life insurance and other insurance options, as well as savings accounts (health; flexible; transportation), and an EAP. Georgia State University is an equal opportunity employer.

Hello, my name is Booker Edwards, I am a Professor of Practice in the Creative Media Industries Institute at Georgia State University and we are currently looking to hire a Professor of Practice in Virtual Production/Visual Effects to start in the Fall 22 semester. The position description and how to apply are below.

PROFESSOR OF PRACTICE in VIRTUAL PRODUCTION/VISUAL EFFECTS
The Creative Media Industries Institute (CMII) at Georgia State University in Atlanta invites applications for a Professor of Practice in Virtual Production and Visual Effects to start in August 2022. We seek an individual with a thorough understanding and record of achievement in virtual production, broadly defined (e.g., experience in emerging technology pipelines, potentially including a close working knowledge of software specific to virtual production pipelines in augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), LED technology, motion and volumetric capture, visual effects, game engine VFX, previsualization, and animation).
QUALIFICATIONS: Position requires a minimum of 10 years of broader industry experience with at least 5 years of that to be specifically in virtual production. Other advanced academic credentials are not required, given industry experience, though we welcome candidates who hold advanced degrees in a creative or media field. Applicants must therefore have a thorough understanding of the creative and production pipeline in their sector of experience. For example, a candidate able to problem-solve where gaming platforms (e.g., Unreal and Unity) must be integrated with VFX and LED screen technologies, would receive preference.
DUTIES: The main duties include (1) a priority on working with colleagues to attract industrial collaborations and revenue-generating work to the Institute; (2) teaching in area of experience. Because of the expectation that Professors of Practice will remain engaged with content creation industries, CMII requires them to engage in commercially viable projects that include student participation, projects managed by the Institute Executive Director. Other potential work might include the supervision of student led projects, industry collaborations connected to the business of production and production pipelines, and active involvement in ongoing CMII administrative work.

Other potential work might include the supervision of student led projects, industry collaborations connected to the business of production and production pipelines, and active involvement in ongoing CMII administrative work. Candidates with a high degree of familiarity with some of the leading content creation software packages and production finance will be preferred.
Professors of Practice at Georgia State University connect nonprofit or corporate practitioners and accomplished executives to the more traditional academic work of a Research 1 university, including classroom instruction. Professors of Practice hired through the mechanism of a national search may be annually renewed in perpetuity given effective performance and are eligible for annual merit pay raises as made available by the Georgia Assembly and the university. This configuration enables CMII to attract exceptionally strong teachers and administrators who often bring extensive professional experience in the media and content creation industries, and to mentor new colleagues into classroom and student mentoring excellence.
CMII operates an advanced technology content creation center and offers undergraduate bachelor (BA/BS) degree programs in Game Design & Development and a Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies (BIS) in Media Entrepreneurship, as well as an MFA concentration in Virtual Production launching in Fall 2022.

CMII is an interdisciplinary unit in the College of Arts and Sciences and the College of the Arts, created to develop 21st century storytellers prepared for work in the media and arts industries, to mentor students interested in entrepreneurship, and to develop research-connected industry partnerships.
As you are required to stay active in the industry, all Professors of Practice are required to engage in commercially viable projects that include student participation upon the direction of the Executive Director.
