Central's mission is to inspire, educate and train the change?makers of tomorrow; you will advance that mission by delivering world?leading teaching and research that fuses artistic ambition with social impact.

You will design, convene, teach and assess studio?based modules and public projects, nurture student voice, provide mentorship and pastoral support, and cultivate collaborations across Central's technical, design and production programmes.

We welcome colleagues with proven higher?education experience and a portfolio that spans research, scholarship and/or professional practice. Applicants working at the intersection of performance design and digital technologies, or whose perspectives represent minoritised and under?represented communities --including Queer, Black, Global Majority and Diaspora performance-- are especially encouraged.

Joining a supportive, interdisciplinary community of academics and practitioners, you will contribute to Central's wider learning culture by maintaining a programme of high?quality research, knowledge exchange and industry partnership.
