About the Role

1
***The School for Cross-faculty Studies at the University of Warwick is expanding its range of inter
- and transdisciplinary degree programmes by developing a new suite of courses in Design Studies


Design Studies at Warwick is an industry-responsive and future-facing initiative, developing the new generation of designers as holistic, strategic, and agile interdisciplinary practitioners.

Our programme will prepare students for the increasingly complex and uncertain world challenges, through explorative, creative, academic, yet critical development of students' design mindset and design skillset.


From Service Design to Social Design, Material and Digital Technology to Al solutions, Design Anthropology to Product and UX Research and Practice, our students will develop sought after and applicable skillsets for employment in the private and public sectors.


The role of the Creative Educational Technologist is to provide support for managing the physical spaces and equipment required to run the Design Studies offerings and to provide day to day technical and educational support to users (staff, students, external individuals and organizations).


About You

***We are looking for an experienced professional with the multidisciplinary skills necessary to support the development and maintenance of our design spaces and their users.
- work, high
- and low-tech prototyping, fabrication, material modelling and manipulation.


Please note:

  • This role involves occasional weekend and evening work to support users of the design spaces during extended opening hours or to demonstrate the facilities at events such as Open Days and Offer Holder Open Days.
  • The postholder will need to undertake First Aider Training and to operate as a Fire Warden for the specialist and other relevant areas.

About the Department

1
***As part of a University of Warwick Strategic Investment Funded initiative, the School for Cross-Faculty Studies is developing a new suite of courses with Design at their heart. The new interdisciplinary offering will sit in the School for Cross-Faculty Studies, which is home to a range of the University's inter
- and transdisciplinary degree courses.


Currently, these comprise the undergraduate Liberal Arts and Global Sustainable Development (GSD) programmes and our recently launched postgraduate taught courses in GSD and Community Engagement and Belonging as well as our PhD in GSD.

All of our courses are designed to be interactive learning experiences; placing our students as collaborators and co-creators in the classroom.


Our new courses aim to offer students the opportunity to develop a diverse design practice within a broader philosophical, political, economic and social context appropriate for tackling the contemporary issues related to environmental instability and the subsequent impact this has on global life.


The courses will introduce students to broad principles of design theory and practice from which they can then develop their intellectual and design practice within their own particular research interests.


Students will explore and work with the contemporary design profession and professionals; identifying their own trajectory within the broad range of existing practice, as well as being able to critically analyse opportunities and omissions in the scope of existing design driven practice.

The Creative Educational Technologist will provide a key role in the successful delivery of the courses and in assisting students to achieve their design goals.
