The School has established a broad portfolio of Design-focused programmes and the successful candidate will be expected to not only contribute to postgraduate and undergraduate teaching but also shape the academic agenda. 

You will join an experienced, innovative and diverse team to teach across our programmes, support module design, course leadership and student experience, as well as leading the development of research projects. In addition to establishing new research you will also be actively involved in producing high quality publications and contributing to the School’s Research Excellence Framework (REF).

You will have a PhD in Fashion Design and a developing record of research, commensurate with the level of the post and with a clear indication of the ability to achieve internationally recognised standards of excellence. You will be a committed teacher and outstanding communicator able to contribute to undergraduate and postgraduate taught study in the areas of fashion design, creative design and digital design and teaching and administrative activities in general.
