Lecturer/senior Lecturer in Games Design

1 day ago

Canterbury, United Kingdom Canterbury Christ Church University Full time

Applications are invited for the post of Lecturer/Senior Lecturer in Games Design. Our teaching team brings together a range of expertise and experience in games and adjacent creative media, ranging from the theoretical and academic, to the practical and professional.

Our approach to staffing the modules on our BA (and newly-validated MA programme) is to match staff to modules according to their personal strengths and skillsets. As such, we expect applicants to have a proven track record in at least one key area, but we are flexible about what this key area of expertise might be. Examples of ideal backgrounds would include;
- A specialist in Unity or Unreal development, with some experience in basic 3D modelling and animation.
- An applicant with a background in design-adjacent roles including production, QA, community management, or narrative design.
- An applicant who can mix practical skills with the ability to teach theoretical aspects of the discipline (e.g. Games Studies, Media Studies, Sociology of Technology, Narrative Theory etc.)

The post is located in the School of Creative Arts and Industries, which has an excellent quality rating and a tradition of integrating practice and theory with creativity with professionalism. This new role would be ideal for someone looking to expand on an existing career as a games educator, or for someone with professional experience in art, production, or narrative for games, who is looking for a route into teaching. We seek someone who is passionate about making and playing games, and who wants to become an important member of a small academic team.

**The Role**

Responsible to the Head of School you will teach modules related to games design, production and/or theory; engage in research and/or enterprise; and undertake administrative and pastoral duties as required.

**Requirements**:
Experience of using appropriate software for game development would be advantageous (the course currently delivers modules using GameMaker Studio 2, Unity, Unreal Engine, and RenPy, although applicants will be encouraged to teach the platforms they are most capable in). You will also have knowledge of the UK (and/or international) games industry from an indie and creatively-focussed perspective.

An ability to motivate and enthuse diverse groups of students and work independently and as part of a small team is essential.

**How to Apply**:
Interviews are to be held: TBC Shortly after Closing Date

No agencies, thank you.
