The opportunity

UAL’s London College of Communication is looking for an outstanding educator, practitioner and/or researcher to join the MA 3D Computer Animation course team as a Lecturer.

The Lecturer in 3D Computer Animation will work collaboratively within a course team, deploying specialist expertise to develop the curriculum in innovative and critical directions. The post-holder is responsible for teaching, pedagogy, and on-going scholarship of the course and will work with students predominantly in-person, although there will be scope to teach online as and when the curriculum requires.

About You

You should have experience in postgraduate education (or comparable industry experience), the ability to contribute to curriculum development and assessment, and a sound knowledge of the theories and practices of 3D Computer Animation. Ideally, you will also be able to contribute to the programme’s research and/or knowledge exchange profile.

You should either hold or be willing to work towards (with UAL’s support), a relevant teaching qualification. A MA in 3D Computer Animation or a closely related field is preferred, though not essential if you can demonstrate equivalent experience.

Your expertise should cover core areas of the 3D animation pipeline including lighting, texturing, rendering, animation and compositing; concept design; character animation (including modelling, skinning and rigging); experimental animation techniques; generative AI; and motion capture.

A working knowledge of Maya and Substance Painter is essential, and familiarity with additional tools such as Blender, Cinema 4D, Houdini, 3ds Max, ZBrush, Unreal Engine, Unity, or MotionBuilder is highly desirable.

We are particularly interested in candidates who have experience or interest in the creative and critical use of AI in 3D workflows—such as procedural generation, generative AI, AI-assisted rigging or motion design, or the integration of AI in various 3D pipeline or visual development.
