Deadline : 01 October 2007
Salary: £28,839 - £32,069 pro rata

Part Time Photography Technician (14 hours per week, fixed term until September 2009)

University of the Arts London is a vibrant world centre for innovation, drawing together six Colleges with international reputations in art, design, fashion, communication and performing arts.

You will work closely with a second part-time technician to maintain and manage a suite of photographic resources, comprising of: photographic studio, wet darkroom (colour & black and white) and digital dark room (Apple Mac). These resources are utilised by students from a wide range of art and design disciplines, studying on all the Colleges courses based at our Southampton Row site.

Specifically, you will be responsible for maximising the use of the facilities through scheduling of activities and ensuring that the facilities are in good working order for taught, supervised and independent learning. Therefore, you will undertake first line maintenance, arrange repair and maintenance by organisations external to the University and maintain consumable stock. You will also keep an inventory of equipment and materials; monitor usage and ensure charging to appropriate budgets; and keep maintenance logs. Above all else, you will ensure the adoption of good practice in terms of health and safety.

You will have a degree (or equivalent) in photography and significant experience in studio photography either in industry, or as a technician within further or higher art and design education. Knowledge of analogue and digital photographic equipment and the use of ICT for workshop management is essential as well as excellent interpersonal, communication and organisational skills.

In return, we offer a competitive employment package including a salary that reflects working in London; generous annual leave; a final salary pension scheme; and a commitment to your continuing personal and career development in an environment that encourages creativity, diversity and excellence. Relocation assistance is also available.

Professor / Associate Professor of Form/Colour/Space, Kunsthøgskolen i Bergen, Norway

The Academy has a vacancy for a professor / associate professor in a full-time, six-year fixed-term appointment. Alternatively the position could be shared on a 50/50 basis. We are also prepared to consider other part-time ratios. The appointee(s) will be responsible for the subject area form/colour/space. Fixed-term appointments comply with provisions on these matters in the Act relating to Universities and Colleges. The appointee will begin working at the Academy at a date to be agreed.

The position of professor / associate professor requires a solid grounding in the theory of form/colour/space, broad practical experience of relevant concerns allied with a mature analytical approach and capacity to see useful applications to wide range of art and design-related work. In projects, preparations and daily work, it is important to endeavour to use the departments' and Academy's overall resources in a flexible manner. As a member of faculty, you will share responsibility for the daily running of the Academy, take part in curricular and academic discussions, with an emphasis on modules and programmes. You will be expected to promote the subject area form/colour/space in consultation and dialogue with faculty and students at the Academy.

Faculty at the Bergen National Academy of the Arts are also involved in research and development during normal working hours. As the Academy transfers considerable resources to R&D, you will have a particular responsibility to pursue R&D as it relates to form/colour/space. An important feature of the work concerns initiating partnerships and contacts with educational and other relevant bodies. You will be expected to contribute constructively to discussions at the Academy, to make the Academy known in wider circles, among other things, by cultivating networks locally, nationally and internationally.
