We promote the critical and playful exploration of data as a material for design, participatory and speculative practices, and deep engagement with industry, public, non-profit and policy partners. We also place great emphasis on public engagement, benefitting from our own engagement facility, Inspace, through which we exhibit our research, host creatives-in-residence, host public and industry facing workshops, and deliver public talks. Over the last decade, the Institute has rapidly grown to a large interdisciplinary community of 100+ members, with a core group of 16 academic faculty.

Your skills and attributes for success: 

  • International research profile and success winning research grants and delivering impact and innovation
  • Experience of successful engagement with industry
  • Innovative and inclusive approach to pedagogy
  • Commitment to collegial working practices
  • Experience of leadership in Higher Education and managing complex, interdisciplinary programmes and research groups
