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
