The opportunity

This is a course leadership role, to lead the delivery of and develop the well-established and highly-regarded MA Innovation Management course at CSM. It is likely in addition to include teaching on other courses in the Culture and Enterprise Programme, which currently comprise: the CSM Birkbeck MBA; MA Arts and Cultural Enterprise (which we run in collaboration with Hong Kong University); MA Culture, Criticism and Curation; MA Applied Imagination in the Creative Industries; and BA Culture, Criticism and Curation. All are theory- rather than studio-based courses.

The course seeks open-minded graduates from diverse academic and industry backgrounds who want to innovate, and ideally have relevant work experience in, for example, the areas of business, marketing, engineering, sciences, social sciences, humanities, or arts and design. Our graduates typically extend their subject-specialisms by connecting with people, concepts, discourses and practices that are outside their normal activities, and are keen to locate the creative outputs of these engagements in the area of innovation management. In common with the other courses in the Programme, MA Innovation Management has at its core a deep understanding of the value of cultural practice and cultural capital to the wider economic and political environment in which they are located.

In addition to academic and management responsibilities, the role is likely to include international travel, and some teaching outside the working week and the usual academic year (e.g. weekends and Summer schools).

We welcome applications from candidates who are considering this role as a job-share position.

About you

We’re looking for a dynamic and inspiring practitioner and academic leader, with a proven track record in cultural innovation and enterprise. Through professional networks, you will ensure the continual development of the course, through critical reflection on the broader context of professional practice, and international education provision. You will have a solid foundation of experience in academic management, and research in a relevant field. You will be qualified to Masters’ level (essential), and preferably have a PhD and/or an accredited teaching qualification in Higher Education.

You will ensure that students are equipped with both the intellectual rigour, and the imaginative ambition, to meet the challenges of engaging with contemporary professional practice in innovation management, and anticipating and initiating the future cultural, political and societal change which serves as the context and impetus for innovation.

Over the last decade, MA Innovation Management has developed deep and highly productive links with both enterprise partners and not-for-profit/third-sector organisations. You will continue to foster this culture of entrepreneurship, by aligning student learning activities and colleagues’ practice and research with opportunities for income generation.

The Culture and Enterprise programme at CSM has in the last five years radically broadened its academic scope in terms of subject areas, global partnerships with other HEIs, and delivery (e.g. by adopting on-line and blended learning models). You will therefore be an enthusiastic and committed advocate of innovation in pedagogy and teaching practice at postgraduate level


In return, University of the Arts London offers generous leave, an attractive pension and a commitment to your continuing personal development and training in an environment that encourages excellence, creativity and diversity. Relocation assistance is available.

What we offer

 

We are UAL

Central Saint Martins is a world-leading centre for arts and design education.  Its reputation stems from the creative energy of its staff and students and the stellar achievements of its graduates nationally and internationally.  The nine programmes at CSM explore the boundaries of their discipline.  Students and staff are continually alert to new ideas, and are curious and restless in developing beyond the expected norms of their subject, so emerging work is at the forefront of its area.  CSM sits at the heart of London’s creative scene, and of one of Europe’s most dynamic new culture and innovation quarters at King’s Cross, making the college increasingly important to London’s cultural life, and indicative of our general desire to open up CSM to as broad an audience as possible.
