Lecturer: Interior Design

With 120 years’ creative arts experience, we are on a quest to offer the highest standards of teaching and professional facilities, as well as a vibrant creative community. With over 7,000 students, our portfolio of undergraduate and postgraduate courses and postgraduate research represents the breadth of the creative industries, from art, design and fashion, to games, music, film and business.

Our mission is to deliver exceptional higher education and research, harnessing the fusion of creativity and technology as foundations of the future economy. We use our knowledge and expertise in these disciplines to generate positive and sustainable opportunities for all.

We are looking to recruit an enthusiastic and dynamic Lecturer in Interior Design with a future-focused approach, a healthy ambition and good energy to join our successful and well-respected course.

 

The undergraduate course is based at the Falmouth Campus, Cornwall along with a series of other creative courses within the School of Architecture, Design and Interiors. Our design studios are surrounded by a beautiful tropical garden with close access to the beach. The interiors course at Falmouth celebrates re-use, experiential design as well as interior atmosphere within the residential and commercial sectors. We have previously won graduate awards at the Interior Educators show and SBID and have close links with industry helping to facilitate live project briefs for our students. The learning and teaching environment is on-campus delivery only.

 

The successful candidate for this role will be a qualified Interior Designer who has worked in industry across various sectors as well as having academic experience and postgraduate qualifications. You will have experience of contributing to achieving excellent student learning and satisfaction, providing assessment and feedback and a dynamic approach to creating an active learning environment. You will need an excellent knowledge of technical resolution and material specification to run workshops with students in these areas. A wealth of industry experience and contacts will also help you to help build this area of subject specialism.

 

Ideally, you will have a working knowledge of industry relevant software (such as Revit, AutoCAD and Rhino) and experience of teaching in the HE context. A knowledge of interior design history would also be a bonus. You will need to inspire the next generation of designers, manage studio projects and be involved in pastoral care as well as assessment.
