This stuff scares the crap out of me as a PhD candidate.

From the essay: "Campuses have evolved over centuries and dedicated resources to perfect the art and science of human development, while largely outsourcing or ignoring the professional growth and learning of their employees. Rather than draw upon their own experts to develop and retain workers, institutions let employees burn out, and then replace them."

I'm in a super-supportive, truly-interdisciplinary department and *Monday* is the deadline to apply to the faculty search job I'm chairing. We're looking for someone interested in helping grad and undergrad students conceive and create playable media projects. If you're wondering if you might be a fit, you probably are!
