- Possess a Master’s degree plus at least 4 years’ post-Master relevant experience, or preferably a PhD degree, in architecture, communication, media arts, design technology, or a related discipline;
- Demonstrate teaching experience and/or professional practice in design, digital media, creative technology, spatial design, sustainability-related areas or a related field; and
- Show a strong commitment to interdisciplinary education, curriculum innovation, and student engagement.
Applicants with relevant experience in interdisciplinary teaching, creative media applications, or socially engaged design will be highly regarded.
Appointments will initially be made on a contract basis for up to two years, renewable subject to performance and mutual agreement.
