[spectre] Lecturer posts

[Drew Hemment]

I have been asked to forward details of 2 x Lecturer posts at  
Lancaster University, closing date 27 October.

Imagination at Lancaster, a new Design and Innovation Futures Laboratory  
within Lancaster University's Institute of Contemporary Arts, have  
advertised some new posts. The aim is to build an entire team of  
research active individuals.

With the 2 x Lecturer posts they are looking broadly at the  
boundaries of design and innovation, which could include social  
technologies / media art / locative media.

Design and Innovation Futures Laboratory

Lancaster University is investing significantly in a new centre,  
Imagination at Lancaster: a research laboratory using design and  
innovation to stimulate and enable interdisciplinary research into  
products, places and systems for the future. We are building an  
entire team of research active individuals to work with us in order  
to drive this initiative.

We aim to recruit a dynamic design team who can use design and  
innovation to link across discipline boundaries and undertake  
research into products, places and systems for the future. We are  
looking for academics working in a design and innovation field  
including but not restricted to: architecture, built environment,  
smart materials and fashion, product design and development, digital  
design and visualisation and ICT from a design/arts perspective.

Aiming for Greater Diversity

The Bowland Charitable Trust has generously donated £5million to  
Lancaster University. This major gift is being used to develop  
activities in design and innovation, health, medicine and education.  
The University is now recruiting key post in these areas.

Lancaster University is a dynamic institution committed to building  
on the reputation it has developed during its first forty years for  
pioneering innovation and excellence in teaching and research.

Salary will depend on qualifications and experience.
