Associate Lecturer in Sculpture (fixed term to August 2027 – 0.12fte)

The Royal College of Art is seeking an inspiring Associate Lecturer in Sculpture to join our internationally renowned School of Arts & Humanities.

The MA Sculpture programme is an expansive, responsive and critically engaged environment where students explore contemporary approaches to thinking, making, presenting and challenging sculpture. Our programme embraces diverse practices, from material experimentation and installation to social practice, public art, performance and conceptual approaches, alongside emerging technologies including robotics, AI, sound, moving image and immersive media.

We are looking for an accomplished practitioner whose work critically engages with the evolving relationship between sculpture, digital technologies and material practice. You will bring expertise that supports students working across the expanded field of sculpture, with knowledge of areas such as digital fabrication, VR/AR, robotics, AI, spatial computing, computational design, motion capture or other innovative approaches to making.

Equally, we welcome candidates whose practice explores the wider cultural, social and environmental implications of these technologies through perspectives such as ecological practice, sustainable and circular making, new materialisms, decolonial approaches or more-than-human relations.
