Founded in 1837, the Royal College of Art is the world’s largest community of postgraduate art and design students. It is also the oldest art and design university-level institution in continuous operation and has been ranked as the world‘s number one art and design university for a remarkable ten consecutive years, according to the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2024 – the worldwide survey of academic and industry opinion.
The purpose of this role is to develop, deliver and promote the study of Experimental Design in Information Experience through teaching and research. Experimental Design is an interdisciplinary, practice-based pathway that aims to question, critique, push and provoke notions of information and experience. It uses a critical methodology within communication design practice. Graduates identify themselves as leading experience and information design practitioners working across forms, contexts and applications, oriented around communication, narrative and experience. As IED graduates, they balance knowledge and expertise in digital and physical tools, materials and technologies with contextual, critical, historical and theoretical knowledge.
The postholder will demonstrate enthusiasm for working with students and alongside colleagues with high levels of commitment and energy required by a world-leading postgraduate environment. The postholder will contribute to the School’s MA/MRes/PGR provisions, by working with academic staff in the School. The postholder will take responsibility through administration, workshop management and tutorial organisation as required. In order to do this, the postholder will liaise with the School’s Head of Programme in curricula development and delivery.
The postholder will maintain an international research profile, initiate, plan, lead and deliver externally funded research and knowledge exchange initiatives, and undertake research degree supervision and examination in one or more of the School’s areas of expertise.
