The following notice announces the creation of a major university/industry
initiative in the area of multimedia development, and preliminary
information about staff positions. Since we expect to have very broad
interactions with related media and technology industries this notice is
being widely posted.
-------------------------------------
New York University, with significant funding from the State of New York
and a number of industrial partners, is currently creating The Center for
Digital Multimedia Production, Publishing, and Education. While it is too
early to post specific available position announcements, the intention is
to quickly ramp up facilities and activities at the Center.
*** Toward this end we are now inviting interested multimedia
professionals to submit resumes and any other _non-returnable_ materials
which best present their skills and experience. ***
What is the goal of the NYU Center for Digital Multimedia Production,
Publishing, and Education?
The Center will play a significant role in assisting New York based media,
content, and technology providers to succeed in "new media" markets. The
Center will work with industry on projects to develop multimedia titles
and technologies, including modules having an educational emphasis. It
will also offer a multi-platform development laboratory, and a very
extensive library of multimedia software titles and delivery platforms, to
cooperating companies wishing to explore the technology before making a
commitment. It will provide intensive tutorials for those in industry, as
well as educational programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels. It
will bring cooperating firms into contact with each other, with
well-qualified students, with Federal agencies, and will also work with
other educational institutions.
What will NYU offer as a site for a multimedia center?
NYU's location, departments, and industrial relationships are key assets.
NYU has extensive ties to the New York City arts, film, television, and
publishing worlds. The University's Computer Science Department, the
Tisch School of the Arts (which includes programs in Interactive
Telecommunications, Film, Television, and Animation), the Psychology
Department, and the School of Education all offer strong multimedia
related track records, and will contribute towards the eclectic mix of
artistic, technical, pedagogical, design, and production skills needed for
the Center to succeed. Current relationships with industry include
research and license agreements with American Television and
Communications, Apple Computer, DEC, IBM, Time/Warner's Manhattan Cable
TV, and NYNEX.
What kind of people will be needed?
We are seeking talented highly motivated professionals with significant
multimedia development, software development, or traditional media
production experience at the senior, junior, or management levels. This
core group of Center multimedia professionals will work with industry
partners on development teams which will also include NYU faculty and
students from both the technical and creative realms. These multimedia
professionals will also design and maintain the Center's systems and
facilities.
As a prerequisite, those seeking consideration for future positions as
professional staff at the Center should meet the following qualifications:
1. Fluency with the use of at least 2 types of desktop computer
systems, at least one of which being the Apple Macintosh
or PC Windows environment.
2. Fluency with several high level multimedia tools. Examples
include Macromind Director, Adobe Photoshop, Authorware,
Fractal Design Painter, Digidesign Sound Designer, etc.
3. Skills in at least one form of traditional art or medium such
as
design, sculpture, music, creative writing, film making, etc.
4. Very strong interpersonal skills and work ethic
5. A willingness to perform a mix of technical, instructional,
creative, and facilities maintenance tasks
6. A portfolio of both creative and technical work
(DO NOT SUBMIT YOUR PORTFOLIO AT THIS TIME)
7. 3 references
8. Industrial experience in commercial software or multimedia
development
or
Industrial experience in traditional media production (video,
pre-press, design, etc.)
In addition, the following skills would be viewed as quite valuable,
although not by any means essential:
1. Low level computer programming (c, assembler, GUI
and multimedia API's)
2. System maintenance skills (file servers, unix sys. admin.,
network configuration)
3. Personnel or project management experience
4. Teaching experience
5. Unix experience
6. Technical and instructional writing experience
What can I do at this time if I am interested and fit the prerequisites?
As noted above, formal positions have not yet been fully defined, but we
are at this time requesting those interested to submit resumes and other
related _non-returnable_ materials to the following contact. PLEASE DO
NOT CALL BY TELEPHONE OR SEND ANY MATERIALS THAT YOU WISH RETURNED. We
expect to formally post positions in the near future. Future interviews
and portfolio reviews will only be done after an initial resume review.
We expect that the competition for these positions will be intense.
Please send your resume to:
