The opportunity
To cover temporary staff vacancy for the 2020–21 academic year, MA Graphic Communication Design would like to identify new potential hourly paid Associate Lecturers to act as tutorial group leaders across both years of the course. Tutors are central to delivery of the curriculum and development of students’ independent practice, leading weekly learning groups of up to 15 students through discussion of curricular themes as well as through verbal feedback and critique of student work. Tutors act as students’ primary staff contact in the course, maintain a holistic and long-term view of student development, and lead in the assessment of student work. Tutors also occasionally write project briefs and contribute to discussions around the development and delivery of core curriculum.
Teaching and learning in the 2020–21 academic year will blend face-to-face and online delivery. Weekly tutorial groups are expected to take place face-to-face at the college, but larger group sessions, supporting activities, and staff meetings are expected to be held online.
Note that the need for additional hourly paid staff on MA Graphic Communication Design during the 2020–21 cycle is based on reaching anticipated enrolment minimums. Where appropriate, we may also recommend suitable candidates for similar roles on BA Graphic Communication Design in case of higher than anticipated enrolment on that course.
