The selected individual will enroll in our MFA Visual Arts Program to work with Dr. Jennifer Willet as a Primary Advisor, and as an employer. In addition to a regular Graduate Teaching Assistant position (approx. 7600.00/year) for two years the selected candidate will be offered a position working in the INCUBATOR Lab with guaranteed earnings of 5000.00 in year 01. And if successful the contract can be renewed in year 02 for an additional 5000.00.

In January 2018, INCUBATOR Lab and The School of Creative Arts moved to a new state of the art facilities in Downtown Windsor. INCUBATOR Lab will upgrade to a BSL2 facility. The lab also serves as a performance space, with a glass wall opening to a large atrium and theatrical lighting, sound and video, to enable live performances for audiences. The successful candidate will assist Willet in establishing best practices in the new lab facility.
