Lecturer in 2D / 3D Animation

--- base: meta-keywords: meta-viewport: width=device-width, title: Lecturer in 2D / 3D Animation --- Lecturer in 2D / 3D Animation ================================================ Join a school where animation is practiced as much as it is taught -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EPAC is looking for a lecturer in 2D and 3D animation to join its teaching team starting ### 26 October 2026. We are primarily looking for a creative, dynamic, and curious profile, with current animation practice, who wishes to share their skills with young artists who are particularly invested in various narrative mediums. The position mainly concerns the teaching of animation to students in the preparatory cycle and the 1st year of the Bachelor of Fine Arts. As EPAC is a human-sized school, we are looking for a person who wishes not only to teach tools, but also to transmit a culture of animation, accompany experimentation, and develop a solid understanding of movement and its fundamental principles in students. ### Your mission You design and deliver 2D and 3D animation teaching adapted to the students' level and the pedagogical objectives defined with the coordination of EPAC. Your teaching may notably cover the 12 fundamental principles of animation, timing and spacing, key poses and intervals, storyboard and animatic, character animation, acting, walk cycles, staging, as well as the main stages of a 2D and 3D production pipeline. Particular attention will be paid to the candidate's ability to make the principles of animation understood beyond the software used. You will also accompany students in the development of their projects and occasionally contribute to pedagogical exchanges with other teachers at the institution. ### Profile sought We are looking for an animation professional with a dynamic, curious, and committed profile, possessing current 2D and 3D animation practice and wishing to transmit their knowledge to a new generation of artists. Early-career professionals are also strongly encouraged to apply. Higher education in the fields of animation, animated film, digital imaging, Game Art, or equivalent professional experience is desired. You have good knowledge of 2D and 3D animation and master several tools used in contemporary pipelines, notably: * 2D Animation: Toon Boom Harmony, Adobe Animate, After Effects, Photoshop and/or equivalent software. * 3D Animation: Blender and/or Autodesk Maya, with good knowledge of modeling, rigging, animation, cameras, lighting, and rendering principles necessary for understanding an animation pipeline. Knowledge of Unreal Engine, compositing, motion design, storyboard, or other contemporary tools constitutes an additional asset. However, we place more importance on your mastery of the fundamentals of animation, your curiosity, and your ability to transmit knowledge than on an exhaustive knowledge of a list of software. Initial pedagogical experience is an advantage, but not indispensable. EPAC can support the future teacher in structuring their content and pedagogical objectives. ### Job organization The mandate represents 238 hours in total over the 2026--2027 academic year, until June 2027, corresponding to an activity rate of approximately 29 %. Interventions are mainly organized in the afternoons: * Monday: 13:15 -- 17:30 * Tuesday: 13:15 -- 17:30 * Wednesday: 13:15 -- 17:30 * Thursday: 13:15 -- 17:30 The schedule does not, however, imply presence during each of these four afternoons every week. Depending on the periods, classes may be distributed, for example, on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, only on Wednesdays and Thursdays, or according to other configurations provided by the academic calendar. A detailed annual schedule can be sent to candidates to allow for early organization with their other professional commitments. An intensive thematic period of approximately one and a half weeks is also planned from 30 November to 11 December 2026, with interventions from Monday to Friday from 13:15 to 17:30, with the exception of 7 and 8 December, public holidays and without teaching. Given its activity rate of approximately 26 % and the distribution of interventions over the academic year, this position is particularly suited to a professional wishing to develop a teaching activity alongside their main practice in the fields of animation, cinema, video games, illustration or, more broadly, the creative industries. However, this is by no means a selection criterion: the exercise of another professional activity in parallel is not required.
