The opportunity

The University of the Arts London’s (UAL) emergent Fashion, Textiles & Technology Institute (FTTI) builds on the delivery of a £5.9m AHRC Creative Research & Development Partnership (CRDP) funding award (2018-24), the Business of Fashion, Textiles and Technology (BFTT), as part of the UKRI Creative Industry Cluster Programme (CICP).

UAL’s FTTI is hosting a new multi-million specialist Virtual Production (VP) / Extended Reality (XR) Laboratory, creating capacity for innovative, transdisciplinary practice-led research in VP/XR textiles and dress, working broadly across the creative and cultural industries.

The new FTTI lab will be located at UAL’s new East Bank campus (2023). The campus forms part of a new powerhouse for research, innovation, creativity and learning through a novel collaboration between world-leading universities, cultural bodies, industry and local communities.

To address this nascent field of textiles and dress, UAL convenes a unique range of expertise across UAL’s colleges, institutes, and research centres. The specialist lab will drive forward an ambitious research agenda, build capacity to meet wide ranging sector needs, and support significant growth potential for the UK’s creative and cultural economy.

As an innovative problem solver, the Virtual Production /XR Lab Manager will facilitate the operation of the new VP/XR Lab, including the delivery of FTTI’s high-value research projects.
