Computational Arts Lecturers (3 posts)

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.

The Department of Computing 

at Goldsmiths is a vibrant, innovative and intellectually stimulating environment in which to work and study. Over the last two decades, we have developed a unique view of computing as a creative practice-based discipline: we pride ourselves on pushing the boundaries of computer science research to the limits of other disciplines. We also take pride on our mission of teaching students to be innovative and practical professionals, to be able to think for themselves, and to bring creative solutions to employers and to society. This is true both for our on-campus students and our distance-learning students around the world. For over twenty years, we have been producing the distance learning computing programmes for the University of London (the world’s oldest distance learning provider). Our research is radically multi-disciplinary and varied, with a span that encompasses (a) strong emphasis on interactivity, virtual reality, and creative uses of computers, (b) data analytics in medical and commercial applications, and (c) quantum informatics and financial technologies, alongside much more as well.

Research / Scholarship Requirements

We are looking for candidates with an established track record in research and/or in the Computational Arts practice community. We welcome innovative ideas on engaging students in both the theoretical and practical aspects of Computational Arts, whether as an artist, creative technologist or researcher.

We are recruiting for three Computational Arts lecturer roles: 1 permanent Senior Lecturer at grade 9 and 2 fixed term contract grade 8 Lecturers for 18 months each.

We are proud of our inclusive and friendly culture and continue to promote and encourage diversity with several policies, including the right to apply for flexible working and support for staff returning from leave, for example maternity leave. Computing is committed to ensuring the selection process is fair and inclusive, with respect to gender, race and disability.
