Course Leader MA Photography and Digital Practices

The opportunity
We are looking for an experienced academic to lead the development and delivery of a new fully online MA in Photography and Digital Practices.

You will join the London College of Communication Media School, Photography Programme and will work in collaboration with UAL Online, bringing your experience of teaching and practice in photography to develop a creative and future facing curriculum and learning experience for a new global audience of learners. The course will nurture experimentation, engagement with digital tools and methods and support students to develop individual contemporary digital practices.

You will manage the course academic staff, lead teaching and assessment, and will collaborate with UAL Online and college colleagues to support the development, launch and growth of the course.

About you
We are looking for someone with specialist academic and leadership experience in higher education and a strong understanding of the contemporary photographic and digital arts practice fields to lead this newly validated MA course. You will have experience of working with and teaching photography and new image making technologies including CGI and generative AI.

You will have established team working and communication skills and will be able to support a growing team with highly collaborative hybrid working methods. You will bring diverse perspectives and industry voices into the new course curriculum and will be ready to support a globally dispersed cohort to develop their individual digital and photographic practices.

You do not need extensive experience of online teaching and learning, but you do need to be open to the advantages of flexible, fully online delivery to widen access to higher education.
