“Do you want to teach smart, talented, eager university students how to create computer games and other interactive media? Are you interested in studying immersive forms of interaction in a discipline that combines computer science with art? Do you want to work in an environment that fosters interdisciplinary education? If so, you should consider joining the faculty at WPI!
The Interactive Media & Game Development (IMGD) Program at WPI is seeking a unique individual whose talents and interests center on immersive human-computer interaction, novel interfaces for interactive environments, and the processes of interactive media and game development.
The IMGD program provides an outstanding education in the principles and techniques of interactive applications and computer-based game development. Nationally recognized as a top game design program in the country by the Princeton Review, the IMGDprogram grants Bachelor and Master of Science degrees, with approximately 150 students nurtured by more than a dozen dedicated faculty. IMGD undergraduates build a solid foundation in game design and then specialize in either the technical (programming) or artistic (art, music, story) aspects of game development, combining both disciplines in their own work and in teams. IMGD graduate students focus on technical game development, game development management, or serious games.”
