You will have experience across a broad range of creative technologies and be committed to learning more.

What will you be doing?

Day-to-day overseeing the Creative Lab Space (situated in the Tyndall Avenue Arts & Social Sciences Library). To include the routine maintenance of equipment, the replenishment of consumables and assisting Lab users with specific enquiries.



Contributing to and delivering inductions to guide new users in the use of specific technologies. Inductions may be online or in the Lab space.

You should apply if

You have a passion for creative technology.

We'll initially be focused on 3D scanning, 3D printing, extended reality and digital audio-visual production.



The Creative Lab will be partner to a new Exhibition Space which will feature the University's unique Cultural Collections.
