Job Details
Within what will be the largest School at the RCA, Fine Art, a new Contemporary Art Practice Programme will be launching in September 2016. Designed to be flexible and adaptive to new and emerging interests and potential areas of research, the Programme will be delivered through four studio-based pathways (Critical Practice, Moving Image, Performance and Public Sphere) alongside the existing Fine Art programmes in an increasingly integrated and collaborative structure. The Programme marks an historic moment for the RCA, which sees an extension in the College’s range of specialisms that will enhance its intellectual scope and enable it to embrace and test important contemporary discourses including post-colonialism, exhibition studies and archival studies among many others.
Reporting to the Dean of the School of Fine Art, the new Head of Programme will be responsible for the guiding the academic direction, teaching and learning, research, and management of resources of the Programme and its staff. Candidates will bring an outstanding track record of achievement and leadership in a relevant field, and the ability to think dynamically and creatively about the future of contemporary art practice, attract and support the highest quality students, and build depth and capacity across the wider School and College, ensuring that the Programme is recognised for its success in research and knowledge exchange, as well as for its role in defining new practices and discourses.
The deadline for applications is Tuesday 14th June 2016 at 12 noon (GMT).
