There is a very short deadline for applications to this post - need to
be in by 17th July!
I am sending this to open up the range of possible applicants for the
post decribed below. I reckon that there may be CAS members/readers who
would find it interesting. Our head of School asked us to invite
applications from people who we think might be suitable. Note that
'publication' may include exhibition and commercial production. Bear in
mind however that Bournemouth University is presently undergoing an
initiative to increase staff engagemment in research; applicants are
likely to be favoured if they are able to first-supervise PhD level
research.
We are an enthusiastic and committed group, from broad backgrounds in
art, design, software development etc. Our philosophy has always been
multi-disciplinary, encouraging the development of new disciplines and
practices through art/science collaboration. With the retirement of Prof
John Vince, there is a vacancy for someone who can coordinate and
support a diverse and passionate team of academics.
Personally I would like to see someone appointed who can help to build
up the theoretical/philosophical/critical side of our group whilst
ensuring that the level of excellence in technical research and learning
and teaching and the philosophy of 'marrying art and science' continues.
Please pass this information, taken from the official advert (see below
for URL), to anyone who is qualifed and might be interested.
Regards,
Stephen Bell
