The School of Design is seeking to appoint an Hourly Paid Lecturer in UI UX and Digital Product to join the Creative Design Department.
Responsibilities
- Deliver and support teaching across undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, helping students develop creative, user‑centred and industry‑informed design solutions.

Appointments are a maximum of 12 weeks per year, depending on need, with the option of joining the university's pension scheme.
