and integrates both creativity and critical inquiry in their work.
An ideal candidate will demonstrate competency in computer-related design, digital
visual communication and storytelling, problem-solving skills, high standards and
the capacity to work well with others. Interested? For qualifications and requirements, see the job announcement at Human Resources.
