Location: Forres, IV36 2SH (campus based)

Fixed Term (9 months)

35 hours per week

The Glasgow School of Art (GSA) is a world leading, independent, university-level institution for the visual creative disciplines. We attract some of the finest academic and creative talent and are committed to creating and sustaining learning and working environments, where difference is respected and the widest possible range of cultural and social perspectives are valued.

Applications are invited for a Teaching Assistant, in the School of Innovation and Technology.

The Highland & Islands campus, Forres, Scotland, demonstrates S.I.T.’s commitment to developing design-led education, practice, and research, the generation of social and economic value, and the impact of emergent technologies for those citizens living a life beyond Scotland’s cities. The role of Teaching Assistant will involve a contribution to and support across the Design Innovation (PGT) portfolio, as well as the opportunity to participate within the wider academic life of the School of Innovation & Technology, and its “post-disciplinary” approach to artifacts, services and interactions. Crucially, the role will assist current academic delivery, staff-students partnerships, and the learning experience along the programmes. Digital, material and personal skills are key to liaising with staff, students, stakeholders, and the unique context and facilities of the campus.
