About the Role:
The Cambridge School of Creative Industries is a thriving multi-disciplinary department, with world-leading research and committed to research-informed teaching. As one of the key disciplines of the school, our Games area delivers three undergraduate and two postgraduate courses. Our curriculum combines specialised training and industry-typical collaboration, with students benefitting from our industry exchanges, which involve live briefs, game jams, and competitions, e.g., Gamebridge.
We are seeking to appoint a dedicated Lecturer or Senior Lecturer. You will contribute to the core curriculum on the BSc (Hons) Computer Games Programming course. A key priority lies in the delivery, design, and development of modules in the subjects programming and game engines. As a member of the Games team, you will also contribute to other areas of course delivery, e.g., project supervisions, and module/course development and administration, while being invited to pursue research or knowledge-exchange opportunities.
You will hold a university degree in a computer-programming subject area, where fluency with C++ and C# languages and recent experience applying it to games development using Unity and Unreal engines are essential. You will be experienced in higher-education teaching or comparable industry-based mentoring and able to facilitate students' learning of programming applied to the games context. This role provides the unique opportunity to shape the next generation of games programmers and will therefore benefit from prior industry experience and familiarity with current advances in the field.
