The post offers an excellent opportunity to play a vital role in the development, delivery and profile of this unique, innovative and energetic award and you will be expected to engage with a wide range of professionals and enhance the award’s profile, both nationally and internationally.

With a proven track record in cartooning/comics/graphic novels, together with teaching experience, you will be a dynamic individual who can complement, build upon and continue to drive this highly creative and diverse programme that encourages creative visual storytelling and the importance of drawing and visualising the narrative.

You will have the flexibility to communicate to undergraduate students on a range of art and design programmes (illustration, animation) and stimulate debate and research in the interchange between emerging cartoon and comic art and illustration concepts and disciplines, new technologies and user engagement in contemporary visual culture.
