Job Description
This is an exciting opportunity for a candidate with a highly creative approach to implementing a broad range of art direction processes and practices. The position invites applicants who are keen to facilitate students’ learning in developing innovative approaches to designing in art direction contexts and experiment with the opportunities the role of art directors offers in creative industries.
As a lecturer, you will be responsible to the Course Leader for the delivery of the art direction units on the course, focusing on the way art direction practice is informed by research. You will bring research and/or industry and teaching experience at the postgraduate level. You will manage and participate in the delivery of student-centred and inclusive teaching and contribute to course development, assessment, quality management and student recruitment.
We are looking for an individual with a qualification at the undergraduate or postgraduate level relevant to art direction practices. You will bring knowledge of delivering creative projects in a professional environment and experience in a range of specialist skills in visual communication, moving image, and interdisciplinary practices within the context of art direction. You will also have comprehensive knowledge of learning and teaching international students.
As an academic, previous teaching experience at the postgraduate level is essential in addition to the experience of research and/or professional practice in art direction or equivalent design practice. You will also be able to cite examples of this industry’s future trajectory and engagement with culturally diverse contexts. You should also demonstrate insight into art direction practices as they intersect with social justice, the climate emergency and other global social, cultural, environmental, political and economic forces that are transforming the design discipline.
The successful candidate should possess effective interpersonal skills and be a student-centred teacher focused on promoting diversity and inclusivity while demonstrating strong communication and organisational skills. We are looking for applicants who can work collaboratively with colleagues to develop the subject area and share expertise.
