We enable our students to innovate through projects that inspire and challenge. The first year focuses on building fundamental abilities in both analogue and digital media.

While the second and third year allow student to develop more conceptual and specialised knowledge such as, digital branding, editorial design, illustration, image generation and manipulation, motion graphics, publishing and narrative, AR, VR UI and UX design. Graphic design moves fast, so as well as the old we are interested in the new and maybe that is you.
The right candidates will have a Ph.D. or a higher degree in a relevant area along with a teaching qualification or equivalent professional experience with at least two consecutive years of higher education teaching. Active research in the field or ongoing professional practice are considered assets. This position would be particularly well suited to recent PhD graduates seeking university positions and presents opportunities to develop teaching, design and/or research-oriented careers.
You will be part of a unique department at the ICI specializing in core skills shared by all disciplines. As such, the modules you teach allow the students to develop interdisciplinary skills that enhance their knowledge base that can apply to a range of personal, creative and theoretical abilities. We embrace and strongly encourage innovative and collaborative teaching styles across all our modules and encourage teachers to adapt and modify content to suit their styles and specialisms. This is a unique opportunity to be part of an institution at its inception and to contribute to its future direction and success.
By joining ICI, you will become part of the international community of designers, architects and researchers involved in visual arts, environmental studies, and new media. Our educators are involved in pioneering projects and teaching methodologies which they apply through research and mentoring practices. We are a community of ex-pats committed to promoting diversity and inclusivity within teaching and working environments.
