About the opportunity

Working in the Manchester School of Art Research Centre, you'll join an institution that's a leader in art, design and fashion research. In REF 2021, we were ranked second for the power of our research in Art and Design: History, Practice and Theory, with 100% of our research environment and impact rated as internationally excellent or world leading.

Our focus is to deliver impactful arts-based research through applied creativity as a foundation for collaboration and innovation, contributing to sustainable development and building a safer, more prosperous and ethical world. As a result, our researchers are embedded in national and international creative and cultural landscapes where they challenge norms, set agendas and shape future research narratives. We engage with a wide range of user communities and beneficiaries to co-produce research and resultant impact through mutually beneficial partnerships, while at the same time building our reputation as an innovator in the field.

You will have the freedom to tailor your development and build your academic reputation. Alongside expanding on your own vision and expertise, you will play a key role in mentoring others, promoting a cooperative, intellectually curious research culture and, as a member of the leadership community, supporting our long-term research strategy to enrich students' lives while having a positive effect on our world. You can count on our full support; from the financial backing you need to start your research in Manchester, to the collegiate atmosphere and extraordinary quality of life that Manchester Metropolitan can offer.

You should also be able to demonstrate the skills and potential to lead and mentor research teams and staff, to provide innovative teaching and learning, and to communicate with a wide range of stakeholders.

Whilst we are excited to be growing our community of research-focused professors, we would still love to hear from you if your career path has taken an education-focused route.
