The opportunity

The Design School is looking to recruit a Lecturer to the BA Design for Art Direction course.

The course explores the art direction practice through design and visual communication lenses. This is an exciting opportunity for a candidate with an experimental and creative approach to art direction applied within design projects. The position invites applicants who are particularly interested in facilitating learning of first year students that come from diverse socio-cultural backgrounds in the area of design and art direction.

As lecturer you will be responsible to the Course Leader for delivery of varied art direction units across the course with the focus on critical practice, moving image, photography and visual communication. You will bring research and/or industry and teaching experience at undergraduate level. You will manage and participate in the delivery of student-centered teaching as well as making a significant contribution to the development of the course curriculum, assessment, quality management and recruitment.

About you

We are looking for an individual with a qualification at undergraduate and postgraduate level relevant to art direction. You will have knowledge of delivering creative projects in a professional environment and experience of a range of specialist skills in relation to art direction and inclusive teaching. You will also have comprehensive knowledge of learning and teaching in international contexts and supporting student transition from secondary to university education.

As an academic, previous teaching experience at undergraduate level is essential in addition to experience of professional practice in art direction as well as initiating partnerships and developing industry collaborative projects. You will also be able to cite examples of engagement with culturally diverse contexts. You should also demonstrate an in-depth knowledge of art direction practice as it intersects with social justice, climate emergency and other global social, cultural, environmental, political and economic forces that are transforming the design discipline.

The successful candidate should possess effective interpersonal skills and be a student-centred teacher focused on promoting diversity and inclusivity, while demonstrating strong communication and organisational skills. We are looking for applicants who can work collaboratively with colleagues to develop the subject area and share expertise.
