The opportunity

We are looking for a Contextual Studies Tutor who will help the students across both years of the M-Arch Architecture course. We are interested to hear from candidates with expertise in the history and theory of social and spatial justice and its relation to architectural design. The role is designed to help students develop their Contextual Studies enquiry and locate their work within the wider spatial practices environment.

The work comprises a combination of individual tutorials and a program of regular group seminars and contextual lectures and your duties will include the preparation of course material, teaching, administration and assessment.

Working closely with the Contextual Studies Lead and the team of design tutors, you will make a significant contribution to the quality of learning and support our students receive in order to enable them to complete their studies successfully. The theoretical content is in close dialog with the design elements of the course and offers a shared process for students to explore their work and the work of other students.

Further information on the M-Arch Architecture course should be viewed on the course pages before application: https://www.arts.ac.uk/subjects/architecture-spatial-and-interior-design/postgraduate/m-arch-architecture-csm

The work produced on the course is built around the three larger fields of Identity & Equity, Climate & Ecology and Publics & Commons. It is essential that you have expertise in these intersecting areas.
