The University isn’t just any employer. We are part of a local community and a contributor to global thinking, progress and research.

The role:
The School of Design is seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and pro-active individual for the post of Teaching Fellow in Animation. At its core, the discipline of Animation engages with the art of bringing characters and scenes to life, blending traditional artistic principles with cutting-edge digital technologies. Animation is a collaborative and pervasive art form, at the heart of so many developments in the creative industries from film, tv, and video games to installation, theatre, virtual production and music.
This position encompasses the development, and delivery of specialist animation courses contributing expertise and experience to ECA’s Animation programme. Essential to this position are the ability to administrate, teach, and assess, across the practice of Animation in different methods and to be an active practitioner in the field of Animation studies.
The successful candidate will be a motivated and experienced educator and/or practitioner in Animation with an ability to teach across theory, practice and the history of animation generally, but with emphasis on production (stop motion and CGI), documentary, and client facing industrial engagement. Applicants should have a Masters degree in Animation or a relevant subject or equivalent experience in animation practice for contribution to teaching in Animation Studies.
People have always been at the heart of our work. As part of the University, you are a part of our community. We are looking for people with drive, determination, and a passion for what they do. We are a place where everyone is welcome and offer a range of policies and benefits designed to support you in building the right meaningful / personalised flexibility for you.

Leading-edge research
Opportunities for publication
Working within one of the world’s leading universities
Responsibility and autonomy
This post is part-time (17.5 hours per week); we are open to considering flexible working patterns. We are also open to considering requests for hybrid working (on a non-contractual basis) that combines a mix of remote and regular on-campus working.
