Looking for an opportunity to pursue glass-related research, have unlimited access to a high-level glass studio, and be part of a unique community of glass artists and students? There's still time to apply to be the Glass Studio Resident at the Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, New York. The position runs from August 15, 2020, through May 15, 2021, and offers access to the RIT hot and flame shops, cold-working and mold-making studios, as well as a wide range of kiln equipment.

The position comes with a $4,000 honorarium as well as opportunities for paid teaching positions.
In return, the successful candidate will be invited to take part in all aspects of the graduate and undergraduate glass programs, from critiques to visiting-artist lectures; from regular studio clean-ups to weekly program meetings; and even pitching in on the annual glass-pumpkin fundraiser.
