Overview
The University for the Creative Arts is seeking a dedicated and knowledgeable Lecturer to join the Fine Art course team at UCA Farnham. We are looking for an individual with a broad fine art practice and a strong focus on technical making skills and materiality—someone who can play a key role in shaping an ambitious and inclusive academic environment. A practice rooted in the intersection of fine art and craft, with a deep understanding of material-led approaches and process-driven methods, is highly desirable.
The postholder will teach and supervise at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, contributing to the development, assessment, and management of academic delivery across the Fine Art and Craft cluster of courses. In addition to delivering an exciting student experience, the role involves undertaking relevant research, scholarship, recruitment, commercial activity, and broader development initiatives aligned with the strategic aims of the School and University.

We are also home to a thriving research hub, with academic experts and fellows leading the way in research on sustainability, design, textiles, animation, history and culture, and more.
