The School of Art & Media, situated in the Faculty of Arts, has received significant investment in the last four years enabling it to enhance its reputation for premium, well-resourced, contemporary programmes. Digital Art & Technology programmes are at the forefront of the school’s portfolio of innovative courses, embedding production, design and practice within digital media.

You will have significant Higher Education teaching experience, a track record of cross-disciplinary research and enterprise, and preferably experience of doctoral research supervision. You will have the necessary technical skills to teach and research in the field of immersive media technologies and their application to art and design practice and for the benefit of other disciplines.
Recruitment and selection will be based on individual merit; however, we would particularly like to encourage applications from women, and people from black and ethnic minorities who are under-represented in the Faculty.
