The opportunity

London College of Fashion have been nurturing creative talent for over a century. To ensure this continues we have an exciting opportunity for a Senior Lecturer with experience in costume design to play a crucial role in the delivery of our Costume for Performance course.

The BA (Hons) Costume for Performance course offers a holistic approach to the study of costume, focusing on both designing and making, with special attention to period, contemporary and experimental costume for performance as well as innovation in the field of costume.

You will be responsible for teaching, course development, and on-going scholarships, providing both academic and pastoral support to students.

Working collaboratively with the course team, you will also develop pedagogy and the curriculum. You will need to stay abreast of research and other developments in costume for performance education and ensure these developments are reflected in the curriculum in consultation with colleagues and within the structures and mechanisms established by the University and the College.

You will have the opportunity to contribute to the strategic development of the course design and pedagogy, and also lead on curriculum design developments and act as a consultant to other courses.
