About the Post
We are looking for someone to join our architecture team to play a central role in improving digital literacy skills in our students, not just relevant to architectural education, but also transferable skills helping to improve their employability opportunities. The successful post holder should be someone who can:
* Develop and deliver core digital skills in our BA Architecture programme.
* Develop and deliver specialist skills through teaching and workshops across all levels of the course.
* Provide one-to-one tutorials and personal academic coaching throughout the week to assist students in their digital skills development.
* Contribute to our Virtual Learning Environment (VLE): We utilise Brightspace to provide access to software, hardware, learning resources and makerspaces.
Ideally, the successful candidate will be qualified and trained in an architectural-related discipline, but we welcome conversations with those who can also demonstrate the skillset and experience for the role as set out in the job description and below.
About the Team
We are a close-knit team who draw on each other’s skills and expertise to deliver a lively and stimulating architecture course. This is an exciting time to join the University of Suffolk: although relatively small by comparison to other courses, Architecture cat Suffolk has seen significant growth in the last 12 months and is ambitious to grow further.
The landscape of architectural education is changing, presenting an opportunity to be part of the conversation on our future direction as we begin to explore how this young course evolves in its next phase. As a team and a community, we offer an inclusive and friendly environment, and take pride in maintaining good relationships with students. As a course team we are also blessed with an array of technicians and support staff, all sitting within the Arts Building which offers excellent facilities to both students and staff.
About You
You will play an important role with the rest of the architecture team in ensuring we provide an excellent student experience through the use of relevant and inspiring learning, teaching, and assessment methods associated with architectural education.
You will have expert professional experience of working across multiple digital media applications in order to equip students with the employable skills required by industry. The ability to work across both analogue and digital techniques and processes will be essential.
You should have knowledge of many of the core architectural software packages, such as: Adobe CC; AutoCAD; AutoCAD Architecture; Vectorworks; ArchiCAD; Revit; and Rhino; alongside various rendering engines. An understanding of emerging AI software and its relevancy to contemporary and future practice would be an advantage.
You will be enthusiastic self-learner, willing to experiment and learn new software, sharing knowledge and good practice with academic and technical colleagues, to enhance the provision across the course and encourage proactive self-development in students.
