Professor of Design vacancy at Goldsmiths
The Design department at Goldsmiths has a vacancy for a full-time, permanent Professor of Design. The closing date for applications is 1 July, and the interviews are scheduled to take place on 9 July. Here is a description of the role:
“Design is a forward-thinking critical and creative practice-led discipline at Goldsmiths. We provide distinctive interdisciplinary programmes of study and research. We now want to appoint a new Professor to lead on forging new paths for Design, both globally and closer to home. In addition to carrying out your own research and dissemination activities, supervising research students and contributing to UG and PG teaching, you will also work with colleagues across Goldsmiths in order to develop and cultivate a range of new research networks and other activities.
You will have a PhD qualification or equivalent professional practice in a relevant field, as well as a track record of outstanding research/practice at international level. You will have networks that can be mobilised to develop proposals for cross-national research initiatives.”
You can apply and read more information about the position on the Goldsmiths website (click here).
BA Design awards at the opening of the Nic Hughes studios
The Undergraduate Design show for 2014 is now over, but the work and the achievements of the students will not be forgotten soon. Here’s an announcement from Design lecturer Nadine Jarvis:
“We are pleased to announce that we are giving five awards to our final year students. They are going to:
Tee Byford for his project the Social Mining Union
The award is for Risk, for pursuing a project which we deem to be in brave and risky territory – both in terms of it’s context in the real world and it’s relationship to design.
Nemi Gardner for her project The Mandelbrot Project
The award is for ‘Distance travelled’ in terms of her design learning from the beginning of the programme until now.
Tomomi Koseki for her project The Body Time Machine
The award is for ‘Blind Faith in Process’. We wanted to highlight the fact that even though Tomomi was not quite sure what her objects were (or did) she kept going, and their purpose became clear through the making itself.
Charlie Evans and Belen Palacios for Studentship
The award is in recognition for the additional hard work put in by students for the benefit of the group as a whole. Both Charlie and Belen had a key role in the planning and production of the show, in particular with this year’s catalogue.
In addition, I am pleased to announce that Hannah Fasching from the graduating year group has been selected for an ISA charity ‘follow-on’ award for her project The Intertidal Cinema. The £1500 award is designed to help make the transition between academia and industry, and will be supporting Hannah to take her project into this year’s London Design Festival – so watch this space!
The awards will be presented/acknowledged at the opening of the Nic Hughes MA studios at Goldsmiths on 18th June at 5pm. All welcome.”

Here’s a first set taken by Nadia Barbu, as well as two higher quality sets by Laura Cuch, one showcasing the people present at the show and the other one with a closer look at the student work being exhibited.
