The opportunity

A unique role, the Professor in Architecture will contribute to the ongoing mission of the Spatial Practices programme, with particular emphasis on research in architectural, spatial and multidisciplinary practice in the public realm. As Professor in Architecture, you will produce research and scholarship which makes a significant contribution to the furtherance of knowledge in the discipline, including through practice-based outputs. You will develop external collaborations of strategic importance to the University, and contribute to the academic research profile of the College and University through attendance and participation at relevant national and international forums, conferences and events; and through journals or academic press. You will support and develop the activities of CSM working closely with the Professoriate, College Associate Dean of Research, College Research staff and through membership of College and University Research Committees, as well as be involved in all aspects of the recruitment, supervision and support of Doctoral students. Professors will be expected to lead the development of external funding applications to research councils, charitable trusts and arts agencies as the Principal Investigator or Co-Investigator.  

About you

We’re looking for a qualified Architectural Practitioner with a track record of internationally recognized professional practice. You will have a substantive and sustained record of excellence and innovation which amounts to an outstanding record of academic achievement, with reach and impact. You will have experience in producing nationally and internationally recognised research outputs including forms of practice-based outcomes, and research based exhibitions.

With a track record of academic leadership in the discipline you will be able to put forward a vision for how the award of Professorship will be used, contributing to advancing professional practice and research in architecture. Your communication skills will be compelling and influential, and your management and leadership will build effective teams, networks or communities of practice and foster constructive cross team collaboration, promoting an inclusive environment for students, colleagues and collaborators.

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. 

Architecture at Central Saint Martins is embedded in the Spatial Practices programme, from which we draw a commitment to explore expanded forms of practice and education. We want to equip our students with the creative and critical skills to carve new pathways into practice, providing the tools to engage productively and, where necessarily, disruptively with the architectural profession and beyond. The manifesto of the Spatial Practices programme, in which architecture sits, establishes a series of strong and distinctive drivers which we use to shape our educational approach.
