Working closely with the Architecture team, the successful candidate will contribute and collaborate on the successful organisation, teaching, assessment, and development of current and future courses in spatial practices,  with opportunities to be involved in research and cross-disciplinary activities across the School, Faculty and University.

Applicants should be able to demonstrate professional knowledge of, and experience in, architectural design practice together with academic teaching experience. They will have a first degree and post-graduate qualification in a relevant subject.
