The opportunity

The Graphic Design Programme at Camberwell, Chelsea and Wimbledon Colleges of Art is looking to recruit two Lecturers in Graphic Design and Digital Media. The posts – one based at Chelsea College of Arts and another at Camberwell College of Arts – will contribute to the School of Design’s commitment to Social Design and belief that Design has the ability to make a substantial and positive contribution to the development of society through engagement with sectors beyond the creative industries.

 

The Graphic Design Programme is composed of five courses: BA Graphic Design, BA Graphic Design Communication, Graduate Diploma in Graphic Design, MA Graphic Design Communication and MA Global Collaborative Design Practice.

 

We’re looking for an outstanding teacher, researcher and/or practitioner to join the Programme. The post-holder will work collaboratively across courses in the Graphic Design Programme, deploying specialist expertise to develop pedagogy and the curriculum in innovative and critical directions. The role will be focused on the development of Digital Media and Design skills (UX/UI), motion graphics, interactive and web design.

 

About you

Experience of higher education (or comparable context), an ability to participate in curriculum development and assessment, have a sound knowledge of the theories and practices in Graphic Design and Digital Media, and contribute to the Programme’s research profile.

 

You should be comfortable working with diverse cohorts of students and committed to a teaching approach that integrates theory and practice and will engage students through a combination of innovative pedagogy, knowledge exchange and/or research. You’ll have or should be willing to attain, with UAL’s support, a relevant teaching qualification or recognition.

An MA in Graphic Design, Digital Media or associated fields is essential. Candidates should possess a record of professional practice/research, with a proficiency in graphic design practice, theory and concepts including typography, digital and print media, conceptual problem solving, design research and thinking, and demonstrate knowledge of Adobe CC, UX/UI (including digital product design), Motion Graphics, Web Design (HTML and CSS), and Digital Typography. Skills and knowledge in Processing, 3D modelling/printing, usability testing, creative coding and JavaScript are a bonus.

You should be a researcher and/or a specialist practitioner who is keen to use your academic and/or industry-based experience to support the development of student work on Graphic Design Programme. You’ll be proactive and actively contribute to the programme’s aims and vision. You should have a strong understanding of the contemporary context of Graphic Design in an academic and/or professional setting and be engaged in relevant networks and communities of practice within this and/or related fields.

UAL 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.
