The opportunity

This is an exciting opportunity to guide the future generation of Graphic Communication researchers and designers, and help cultivate a dynamic culture of research and practice on the newly validated MA Graphic Design Communication course at Camberwell College.

As a Lecturer on the Masters course, you will play a pivotal role in teaching, curriculum development, and practice-led scholarship, equipping students to engage with critical design themes.

Working collaboratively within a supportive course team, you will help guide students through key stages of their learning journey—enquiry, research, experimentation, and contextual design practices. You will also contribute to assessment, academic support, and professional practice initiatives.

You will also have the opportunity to take part in programme-wide initiatives and knowledge-sharing events, contributing to and benefiting from a diverse and supportive Graphic Design community at CCW.
