Shape the culture, practices and thinking of a new Art School department
Winchester School of Art
is proud to be one of the UK’s leading art Schools and part of the world-renowned **MEMBERS ONLY**SIGN UP NOW***., a founder member of the Russell Group of research-intensive universities. The new Department of Art & Media Technology brings together research, education, and practice in (and across) contemporary art, curation, media art, game art, creative computing, and arts and new media policy and leadership. Our research-intensive environment and international student body provide a rich ground for interdisciplinary thinking and making at the nexus of art, science, technology, and culture.
The role
Working closely with the Head of Winchester School of Art and the Faculty of Arts and Humanities’ Associate Deans, you will develop the vision and strategy for this new department. Providing strong academic leadership and operational management, you will set high standards for learning and teaching quality, research productivity, and cross-disciplinary innovation. You will also foster a highly collaborative, people focussed environment, engaging across university disciplines, academia, and the relevant industrial and professional practice contexts.
The post is offered on a tenured basis initially for a period of three years, which is extendible upon mutual agreement. At the end of this tenure, you will return to a substantive position within the department.
About you
This is a great opportunity for an ambitious academic with substantial experience of leading staff and students. You’ll bring a strong and credible track-record of academic excellence in teaching and research (scholarly and/or practice-based), and an inclusive and compassionate approach to management and leading colleagues. An in-depth understanding of the relationships between contemporary art, technology, and culture is important. The ability to work influentially with our other departments, across the faculty, and with external partners will be key to success, and you’ll have proven skills in delivering funded, externally facing programmes of education, research, or enterprise.
