Salary: £39,275 – £47,120 pro rata (£15,710 – £18,848 per annum)
Closing date: 20 Sep 2022
We are looking for a Lecturer (0.4 FTE) to lead on the development and teaching of Digital Cultures and Curation on BA Culture, Criticism and Curation.
The role will attract candidates who have a vision for digital environments while embedding their practice in conventional theoretical contexts of curatorial practice. With the course going through the university’s scheduled reapproval process in 2022/23, there is immediate opportunity to be part of a progressive course team in reviewing and reframing the course curriculum, design and delivery, with particular attention on how the course engages with identity and diversity, contested notions of culture, the emergencies of social injustice and climate change, and new relations between conventional and digital environments.
