Goldsmiths, University of London is a world-leading centre of educational excellence where ground-breaking research meets innovative teaching and thinking. We're looking for inspiring and talented people to help build on our global reputation while also growing personally in a true learning organisation.

As a college we are working to tackle inequality in all its forms and are working to promote equality on grounds of race, disability, age, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion and belief, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, and caring responsibilities. We are keen to attract candidates from diverse backgrounds who share our commitment to creating an inclusive culture in which all students and staff can thrive.

Information for candidates with disabilities can be found on our Disability & Individual needs page. We are happy to supply information in alternative formats for disabled applicants. Please contact hr-recruitment@gold.ac.uk to make your request.

Migrant Futures Institute

The Migrant Futures Institute (MFI) is being established at Goldsmiths in 2025 following an 8-figure philanthropic commitment made by Oak Foundation in autumn 2024.  The MFI is set to be a beacon of rigorous research, innovative policy solutions, and creative approaches to understanding and reshaping migration discourse. Our mission is to tell a new and compelling story, one that addresses the deep crises of division and dispossession faced by migrant communities. By doing so, we hope to mend the social fabric and ensure that migrant futures – and by extension, our collective futures – are secure, hopeful, and embraced.

Through collaborative research and creative practice, the MFI will engage directly with migrants, working with them to generate new knowledge, cultivate understanding, and support their well-being, creative work, and social aspirations.  The Institute’s three main objectives are:

• To establish a sustainable research institute focused on shaping hopeful futures for migrants and their communities. The centre will prioritise perspectives from migrant scholars, individuals, and communities, giving a platform to voices too often unheard.
• To convene and platform individuals and groups from across civil society, academia, enterprise, and beyond – locally, nationally, and internationally – to co-create cutting-edge research with real social, cultural, and policy impact.
• To open new pathways into advanced study, research, creative work, and enterprise for people from migrant and refugee backgrounds.
