JOB 1-  10/5 -  College professor – Pennsylvania, fulltime slot – The abilities I’d need someone to have would be solid modeling (hard surface subdivision (not Maya’s subdivisions, rather Maya’s proxy subd which is every other app’s actual subd), organic a bonus), lighting, surfacing, texturing and rendering. They’d also need core animation knowledge in general (12 principles, etc) and Maya specific basics such as dynamics, deformers and constraints, rigging, the usual suspects. Advanced rigging and character animation a bonus. Compositing experience, especially with Nuke, would be great. Beyond that, bonuses would include ZBrush, Mudbox, Mari, Houdini, RfM, Motion Builder and motion capture experience. Some of the courses would include the foundation course, animation I & II, and compositing.
