ABOUT US
The Slade School of Fine Art is an art school where staff and students approach contemporary art practice, and the history and theories that inform it through experimentation, imagination and research-oriented practice.
The Slade is a department of University College London (UCL) with a lively and dynamic practice led research culture. Staff are practising artists, writers and theorists with significant research outputs and exhibition profiles, actively involved in research and teaching.
In 2025, the Slade is launching a new BA Art and Technology programme, which is an interdisciplinary degree focused on the interconnections between art practice and a range of new and disruptive technologies. It will also open a new studio space at UCL East to support students, academic staff and researchers to explore the intersection of art, technology and society through critical enquiry and studio practice.
QUALIFICATIONS, EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE:
The successful candidate will have a postgraduate qualification in history and/or theory of art, with a research focus on issues of art and technology and hold a PhD (or equivalent experience) or be near completion. They must have nuanced and critical understanding of the relationship between art, technology, and culture, and an engagement with cutting edge scholarship as well as art practice relating to this field. The candidate will have experience of teaching in higher education and creating inclusive and equitable learning environments, including the decolonisation of scholarship and practice, and the promotion of diversity within art and technology. The candidate must also have a research profile with outputs of suitable quality for submission to the Research Excellence Framework (REF).
SKILLS AND ABILITIES:
The candidate will be skilled at teaching in a variety of group and one-to-one modes including lectures, seminars and tutorials and have the ability to respond to students’ wellbeing and pastoral needs and have an approachable and flexible way of working with students with a wide range of abilities and backgrounds. The candidate must have good written and verbal communication skills and have experience of organising events such as student exhibitions, talks, public events and partnership activities. They must display resourcefulness and flexibility in working situations and be able to work independently without supervision and as part of a team.
