Dubai, Dubai, United Arab Emirates Heriot-Watt University Dubai Full time

Due to the continued expansion of student numbers on our Dubai Campus we are looking for highly motivated and qualified academics to join us at an exciting time in our growth.

Design on the HWU Dubai campus seeks to recruit enthusiastic academics with experience in teaching and scholarship. Successful candidates will be expected to build scholarship over time and showcase innovative teaching pedagogies. Successful candidates will also be expected to develop strong links to colleagues across the global campuses to deliver high-quality learning and teaching, contribute to the continued development of the programmes offered to students, and develop external engagement endeavours in association with the Academic Schools in Edinburgh, Dubai, Galashiels, Malaysia, and Orkney.

The successful candidate will possess a broad practical and theoretical knowledge of a range of topics within the spheres of User Experience and Interaction Design. We are particularly interested in receiving applications from those candidates with expertise in Agile Methods, Human-Centred Design, Brand Management, Project Management, and Visualisation Tools. Postholders will be key in connecting with our internal and external stakeholders to embed product innovation practices and principles into the curriculum. They will lead or support (as necessary) the creation of programmes and or courses to support interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, and transdisciplinary design. Preference will be given to candidates with scholarship interests in these areas and the potential to publish in high-quality scholarly journals.

Teaching and scholarship should be grounded in 21st-century design innovation practices with appropriate input from historical, theoretical, and practical perspectives. Given the broad, fast-moving, and collaborative nature of today's industries and associated technologies, we expect the successful individual to work proactively within and across traditional discipline boundaries. We also expect the successful applicant to cooperatively contribute to teaching existing courses and collaboratively create new ones across the campuses where and as it benefits the student experience.

The role will be based at the University's campus in Dubai. Courses and programmes will be delivered in English, so fluency in English is essential. All new academic staff will be inducted into Heriot-Watt's standards and values, and an induction programme will be delivered to give practical experience in the preparation, delivery, and assessment of teaching.

AED270,000 to AED300,000 (G7) including housing allowance
