The opportunity

To prepare the next generation of innovators for the evolving field of fashion imaging & illustration, by providing a solid academic background combined with industry know-how. Within your area of expertise we expect you to inspire and excite our students, bringing to life the technical and theoretical aspects of your field against solid industry experience. Academics or professionals with experience in areas such as new media, moving image, visual communication and digital imaging are especially desirable.

You will employ research-led innovative teaching strategies across year groups to inspire critical thinking and novel approaches to creative problem solving. You will take an active role in curriculum development, ensuring relevance and currency while addressing the complex relationship between theory and practice and industry practice.

You will support students within the course on projects, personal and professional development, and pastorally.

About you

As a professional industry practitioner, you will hold a relevant degree and will be able to demonstrate significant creative success and specialist knowledge in fashion imaging & illustration, and creative production in multi-faceted disciplines as well as an understanding of emerging digital and imaging software platforms.

You will be forward thinking and visionary, with an understanding of the changing demands of the industry and a contemporary approach and understanding of image making in relation to contemporary fashion imaging & illustration. Your portfolio of work will question the status quo and you will be a significant contributor to advancing your area of expertise.

A relevant postgraduate qualification will be an advantage, while industry experience is essential.

Experience in higher education is desirable.
