Research Fellow – Digital DIY
Westminster School of Media, Arts and Design
Fixed Term – 24 months
£34,233 – £38,686 p.a. (inc. L.W.A.)
Harrow Campus

Westminster School of Media Arts and Design is a thriving creative environment. We are continuously building our world-leading research in art and design (with the UK’s highest-ranked broad set of art and design research in REF2014) and media and communications (ranked fourth in REF2014).

We seek to appoint a post-doctoral Research Fellow to research, and produce publications, videos and events, for the EU-funded ‘Digital DIY’ project. The project explores how people are using digital making technologies – such as 3D printing and Arduino – as well as maker culture more broadly, and their potential impact on creative society. You will be required to conduct interviews, run creative workshops, and make accessible materials for the public, as well as producing more traditional academic outputs such as journal articles.

This post will require you to have a PhD in a social science or creative discipline, and excellent written English. They will be familiar with the maker movement and digital technologies, and will be able to leverage contacts and networks in order to organise workshops and events for this project. In addition it is a requirement of the post that you have a track record of academic publications, and experience of online public engagement with blogs, video and/or social media. The ability to make short videos to a good standard, suitable for communicating information about the project online, would be highly desirable.

Closing date: 22 November 2015
