Lecturer - MA Design for Industry 5.0

/ndiThe opportunity
The Product, Ceramic and Industrial Design programme at Central Saint Martins is looking for a part time lecturer (0.6 FTE) to join our MA Design for Industry 5.0 course team.

At the forefront of new industry, this course centres people and planet in the future of design, technology and manufacturing.

• Contribute to reducing student attainment gaps, and reflect on teaching practice through the lenses of ethics, anti-racism, the climate emergency and social justice.
• Foster a positive and caring team dynamic among both staff and students, with a collaborative and friendly attitude.
• You will work closely with students and be responsible for designing and delivering unit content, teaching, learning and assessment, and pastoral care.
