You will be qualified to postgraduate or PhD level in a subject relevant to this role, have evidence of continuing professional development and possess sufficient breadth and depth of specialist knowledge in the photographic discipline to work within the established and developing teaching programme. You will be a team player, thrive in a demanding yet rewarding environment and will make an enthusiastic contribution to the collegiate life of the subject group, department, faculty and university.  You will either hold, or be willing to undertake within 2 years, a teaching qualification or Higher Education Academy (HEA) Membership.
