Job description:

The Role

Are you a contemporary artist with an exciting practice that engages with the moving image? Do you have the drive and enthusiasm to teach hands-on at one of the UK's best art schools? If so, we'd love to hear from you.

We have an exciting opportunity for a practising visual artist to join us as a Lecturer in Fine Art. You will join our vibrant Fine Art community and teach into our BA and MFA Fine Art programmes. Applications are welcome from artists whose creative practice primarily involves working with digital or analogue approaches to the moving image, or new technologies in the moving image.

You should be an enthusiast for innovative, inclusive, hands-on approaches to teaching Fine Art and be able to work with students across a broad range of practices and at different levels.

We welcome applications from artists working collaboratively across disciplines and in partnerships with organisations and individuals beyond academia.

As a member of our dynamic team you will:

• be committed to excellent teaching at all levels of our BA and MFA programmes
• work as a key member of our fine art team, taking on your share of academic roles within the department.

This appointment is a 0.25fte teaching and scholarship post with an anticipated start date of September 2023. The University has developed an Teaching and Scholarship Role Profiles document which summarises the range of activities that colleagues may be expected to perform.

We encourage applications from visual artists whose work draws on and reflects the full range of backgrounds, perspectives and diversity of our modern world, and welcome applications from underrepresented groups for this opportunity. 

In addition to a covering letter and your CV, you should include a weblink to your work or submit visual documentation. Please note that applications will be assessed against the appointment criteria listed below – please make clear in your application how you meet all the published criteria for this post.
