Teaching Fellow in Design Thinking

The Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, www.bristol.ac.uk/innovation, which admitted its first students in autumn 2016, is a flagship component of the University of Bristol's strategy to further strengthen the links between education, research, entrepreneurship and innovation, and the leveraging of Bristol’s city and region as a unique asset on the international stage.

As the Teaching Fellow in Design Thinking you will be central to the further development of the innovation Programmes which are at the heart of the Centre of Innovation and Entrepreneurship. You will be required to contribute to the development and delivery of design and systems thinking teaching at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, and to undertake associated administrative duties as required. A key element of the role is to develop the distinctive design centred ethos and approach to innovation through both teaching and project-based studio learning.

You will also play a central role in helping students, both individually and in groups, to develop innovative products or services. You will have a background in teaching at a Higher Education Institute or significant experience in an industrial context.

It is expected that interviews will take place shortly after the closing date.
