Senior Lecturer BA (Hons) Fashion Photography

Falmouth University is seeking a Senior Lecturer to teach across both the BA(Hons) Fashion Photography and BA(Hons) Fashion Styling & Art Direction courses. In this role, you will provide academic leadership for Fashion Photography students and ensure the highest standards of undergraduate teaching.

You will foster a supportive and forward-thinking learning environment where ideas and talent thrive. The post will have a primary focus within the Fashion Photography provision with opportunities to teach across both subject areas. You will also play a key role in building strong professional and academic partnerships, ensuring the BA(Hons) Fashion Photography course remains at the forefront and responds to the ever-changing landscape of the fashion image-making industry across commerce, culture, and society.

As an experienced lecturer and academic, you are recognized as a leading authority as a fashion image-maker or fashion filmmaker. You will bring an in-depth understanding and personal experience of the relationship between fashion education and the fashion industry. Highly motivated and student-focused, you excel at guiding diverse cohorts in exploring fashion image making as a discipline, helping students unlock their full potential and develop innovative approaches to practice and research.

You’ll have an advanced theoretical understanding of the field of fashion image-making, including its historical, aesthetic, social, and political development and context. In doing so, you’ll be able to take responsibility for the teaching of students, advising and supervision of students who work with fashion-image making or art direction as a specific field and its application in multidisciplinary contexts; with the ambition to extend and test the boundaries of what constitutes a photographic practice within the field of fashion, and with interest in and openness to other forms of artistic expression such as immersive technologies, film, fine art, and the possible connections between them.

You have excellent communication skills and are confident in using digital media to enhance learning and engagement. You can lead and work as part of a team, sharing knowledge and fostering a creative, supportive academic environment for both colleagues and students.

If you are looking to have an informal discussion about the role, please contact Jonathan Simms, Course Leader BA (Hons) Fashion Photography, at Jonathan.Simms@falmouth.ac.uk.

The closing date for the position is Sunday 12 October 2025.
