Application deadline: November 1, 2022
Hi,
My friends over in the English department have asked me to share this with you. The TL;DR is that they’re hiring someone specializing in video game narrative. I’m happy to chat with anyone curious about working/living in Utah and I can also say that the unit I’m in (Entertainment Arts & Engineering) does collaborate with the English department – and that this position would (ideally) strengthen those collaborations. While I cannot speak to any of the specific details of the job, I can put you in touch with the right people. So do reach out if you’re interested!
