3D Design and 3D Animation Instructor, Short-term Project in Kyrgyzstan
Dear colleagues, Please, circulate. The Association of Fulbrighters of Kyrgyzstan is looking for instructors in 3D Design and 3D Animation for a short-term position (January 2016) within the project "*3D Creative Jobs for Kyrgyzstan"*. This ICT4Jobs project will help to introduce a contemporary 3D Visualization and Animation education program in selected arts departments and colleges of the Kyrgyz Republic that can help match demand and supply of adequately skilled workers on the labor market. A specialist in 3D Visualization will be invited to Kyrgyzstan to share and disseminate knowledge through the “training for trainers” model and online consultations. Selected candidate can help through two main activities: - Development of new digital 3D Visualization and Animation curriculum in Kyrgyzstan, - Training of 30-40 professionals in 3D Imaging to match growing demand from creative industries. *a) *Development of digital 3D Visualization and Animation curriculum in Kyrgyzstan. The assistance in designing or updating courses in 3D imaging will be provided for selected design and arts departments of local universities and colleges. There are at least six schools that can be involved: Kyrgyz-Turkish Manas University, College of Arts under the National Academy of Arts, Kyrgyz State University of Construction, Transportation, and Architecture, Kyrgyz State Technical University, Kyrgyz State University, Kyrgyz-Russian Slavic University.

The list of participants can be drafted in coordination with the assistance of the Association's partners in academia and industry. Possible formats are: - Regular meetups: demonstration of best practices, followed by interactive conversation on 3D possibilities and opportunities. - Roundtables with academia and industry leaders to discuss skills needed for creative economy. *b)* Training efforts can help to engage local professionals (academia, business, civil society) and students majoring in arts and design in “training for trainers” workshops. The key goal of training is to prepare future leaders of 3D technologies and scale up knowledge dissemination. The selection of participants can be conducted through open call of applications and involvement of students of arts departments in selected universities. Up to 30 participants will be selected for training. Training program is focused on such topics as: 3D Shapes and Geometry, 3D Texture and Lighting, Digital Animation, Real Time Simulation and Rendering of 3D Objects, Special Effects. As the output of the training students should submit final projects for a computer game: 3D Landscapes or 3D Characters or 3D Objects. The results of training and works students can present during the 3D Showcase Event in Bishkek. US based instructor is strongly preferred (previous Fulbright experience is a plus). All costs (transportation, accommodation, food) is covered by the Association in addition to decent remuneration for work.
