• experience of delivering similar teaching at university-level (higher education)
• practical expertise in the realm of music production, demonstrating a profound understanding of both the artistic and technical aspects of the field
• a postgraduate qualification (ideally a doctorate) in music production, or a related subject area.

You will have a successful record in the design and delivery of engaging and effective education in the music production area/discipline. You have a natural flair for communicating complex concepts clearly and engagingly, making you an excellent mentor and educator. You will bring a visionary approach to music production as an academic discipline, with the capability to implement this vision in the development of the course curriculum.
