The Division of Arts & Humanities is a unique academic division at UCSD. Established in 1963, it encompasses six academic departments, the Institute of Arts & Humanities (IAH), the newly launched Institute for Practical Ethics (IPE), a wide range of interdisciplinary programs and research centers and nationally and internationally recognized faculty. We offer more than 100 undergraduate majors and graduate programs to explore the many facets of human experience.

Students are supported and guided by preeminent thinkers in our faculty, including winners of the Pulitzer Prize, the Tony Award and the MacArthur ‘genius grant’ Fellowship, whose teaching is consistently recognized in the top at UC San Diego and across the University of California. Faculty research is supported by Guggenheim, Rockefeller and Fulbright fellowships, and grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Uniquely poised on a scientifically-renowned campus, our students and faculty have unprecedented access to new thoughts, experiments and technologies that are reshaping the human experience.

The University Art Gallery (UAG), founded in 1966, has had a long-standing commitment to new and diverse forms of artistic practice, hosting some of the earliest exhibitions of performance and installation art on the west coast. It is deeply tied to the history of artistic innovation in Southern California and the border culture of the US and Mexico. The Gallery maintains an ongoing commitment to innovative forms of public programming, exhibition, and public intervention. It incorporates artistic and organizational practices that both include, and expand the terrain beyond, the traditional process and form of the art exhibition.

The Gallery aims to activate new fields of knowledge production, new material, discursive, and critical possibilities - alternative forms of organization, exchange, collection, and presentation that can be incorporated into new understandings of artistic endeavor. Working with the conditions and interrelationships of publics, space, discourse, and pedagogy, it enhances the dialogue around diversity within contemporary cultural practice and supports fellows and students in their academic and professional development as curators, critics, writers and scholars.

As a member of the Dean's Office for the Division of Arts and Humanities, this position will report to the Assistant Dean and be responsible to help launch and support the newly created Arts and Community Engagement (ACE) Program.
