Job Description
As a postdoc researcher (70%) at the Inter-Actions Research Unit, you will participate in the Meaningful Play cluster which investigates the application of game design in artistic, social, educational, and economic contexts.

Responsibilities
- You will be involved in teaching existing courses in the Game Design program.
- You will aid in the coordination of ongoing projects at the Inter-Actions Research Unit, such as the Game Badges project.
- You will initiate your own projects within the broad field of design-based game research and write applications to acquire funding for these projects.
- You will disseminate your research at art expositions, symposia, conferences, and in artistic or academic publications.
- You will participate in board meetings, research activities, and symposia of the Inter-Actions Research Unit.
Profile
- You have an art-, design-, or practice-based Ph.D. in game design, or in a related field with a focus on game design.
- You have experience in modeling and creating architectures in 3D tools such as Blender, 3DS Max, or Maya, as demonstrated in your artistic portfolio.
- OR You have experience in creating interactive rules within game engines such as Unreal or Unity, and in applying these to immersive environments (XR, 360°). This is demonstrated in your artistic portfolio.
- OR You have an affinity for and an active interest in sound design for games.
- OR You have strong proven experience in collaborations with the game industry.
- You have experience in writing applications for project funding and in coordinating projects.
- You are willing to develop new course materials in collaboration and dialogue with the teacher team at the C-mine campus.
- You are passionate about game research, take initiative, have innovative ideas, and experiment with new concepts.
- You can perform work with responsibility, both independently and in a team.
- You can communicate in English and Dutch, conforming to the language requirements that apply to higher education in the Flemish part of Belgium.
- You are loyal towards the mission, vision, and educational policy of LUCA School of Arts.
Project
As part of your application, you describe a project that you want to initiate within the Meaningful Play research cluster, and how this project can be extended into a course module for BA and MA-level students in game design. The project should entail art- or practice-based research related to game design and should deal with a topic of relevance to the future of gaming.
Offer
At LUCA, you will be part of an environment where respect and integrity define our basic attitude, where we see sustainability and diversity as an asset, and quality is our motivation. We offer a temporary employment, fixed-term appointment (100%) in the position of doctor-assistant (scale 509) for 3 years.
