The opportunity

We are looking for a Senior Lecturer teaching across all stages of BSc Creative Computing at the UAL Creative Computing Institute. The BSc Creative Computing is an exciting mix of computing and creative practice set in the context of a world-renowned creative university. Students learn to code, build apps, craft digital experiences, explore machine intelligence and more. Students acquire a contemporary set of applied computing skills covering the dominant coding languages and workflows that support innovation in the digital technology sector and creative practice. Building on these skills, and through creative practice, our students also develop your ability to innovate.  

The Senior Lecturer post involves responsibility for delivering academic and pastoral teaching including providing formative feedback to students, enhancing their creative coding and critical knowledge, and building a studio culture that enables collaborative studies and a place to evolve individual and group learning.  

The post will include the responsibility for the placement sandwich year (Diploma Professional Study).

You will have experience in teaching within a higher education environment, and strong skills in effective planning, implementation, and delivery.

You are keen to learn pedagogies approaches adopting flipped classes when required and blended learning (some prerecord, some live) and work with the students as a team.  

At the BSc Creative Computing we support students’ agency in the Curriculum, and we dynamically develop techniques for communicating effectively with students. 

You will have an established practice and a professional profile in creative computing. You are actively engaged with current discipline debates on social impact and ethical approaches for creative computing. You will bring commitment to exploring, expanding, and progressing the field of computational practice.  

These should cover a specialism to teach Human Computer Interaction and Data gathering/Visualisation and related creative coding disciplines including academic essay writing. 

You would be able to deliver content in these areas to a cohort of students who have just started learning coding or are starting coding for the first time. 

UAL is committed to addressing the under-representation of staff from Black and Minority Ethnic communities, using our student profile as a reference point.
