[ecrea] Vacancy: Senior Lecturer: Visual Effects (Practice with a interest in Theory)

*Visual Effects (VFX) Lecturer: **Practice with an interest in theory 
(0.4)** ***

*Equivalent Full Time Salary £41,017.33 + benefits**, London*

Due to increased demand and a raised ceiling in the number of places we 
can offer next year, Ravensbourne is seeking to recruit an experienced 
practitioner-academic to work within a lively and highly creative Post 
Production team. Our Skillset-accredited Visual Effects courses are 
delivered within our new, award-winning, building next to the River 
Thames and the 02 in London. The programmes of study in Post Production 
at Ravensbourne are highly regarded in the UK and over 90% of our 
students find employment in the sector soon after graduation. We have 
excellent editing, grading and VFX facilities including high-end systems 
such as Film Master and Mistika.

The ideal candidate will have a good overview of the changing industrial 
contexts and aesthetics of Post Production and be keen to experiment 
with new technologies and processes. We are looking for someone with a 
thorough knowledge of industry standard software such as Smoke, Nuke, 
and After FX. You will also be familiar with the common editing and 
grading systems used in Post Production. In common with our existing 
Post Production staff, you will be a great communicator and a proactive 
team player. You are likely to be student-centered, passionate about 
teaching, and enjoy exploring new pedagogies. Staffs are also actively 
encouraged to maintain their own creativity and practice alongside their 
teaching. You will be keen to embed innovation into your learning and 
teaching and to contribute creatively to the development of our Post 
Production courses.**

Our students are framed as young professionals from induction onwards. 
We actively encourage an entrepreneurial attitude and seek to mirror 
industry practice where possible. We also create links with industry at 
every opportunity, issuing live briefs, providing opportunities for work 
based learning and internships. We encourage interdisciplinary working 
amongst our students and have a ‘T-shaped curriculum’ which teaches 
common digital skills and theories relating to the Creative Industries 
in parallel with a deep knowledge and understanding of specific 
discipline areas.

Ravensbourne is a dynamic place to work; our education, innovation and 
incubation community includes TechCity UK, and the East London 
Enterprise area. In addition to providing undergraduate and postgraduate 
programmes of study we aim to be a digital showcase for London, for 
world-leading UK research, and for technology-enabled, global, business. 
Since 2010 we have successfully attracted over £4 million investment 
from the EU to pilot digital incubator programmes. Our focus is 
attractive to world-leading departments producing ‘pure’ research due to 
our existing and established partnerships with industry and our 
practice-based approach. Our strategy is to amplify our existing 
community of innovation for the benefit of our students, the UK economy, 
our partners, and the public good.
