Ohio University has a Designer in Residence opportunity for a person or team looking to take the next step — or write the next chapter — in their career.
Is that you or someone you know? The application deadline is July 31.
Role Details
Are you a graphic design professional with a passion project that you haven’t yet found the time and place to make happen?
Bring your project and passion to Ohio University. Athens and the surrounding Southeastern Ohio region just might have the “creative terroir” you have been looking for. Our setting in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains is rural yet academic, friendly and open, removed from the coasts while being a regional center of culture, and offers opportunity for escape, reflection and renewal.
OHIO sees design as a change agent and design thinking as being a universal need. You will have a chance to contribute to this dialogue both in our community and your own practice.
And we are looking for a Designer in Residence who wants to tap into the tremendous resources the School of Art + Design has to offer in a community that will support your work.
