Can you confidently demonstrate your experience of working in a technical capacity within an arts environment and do you have expertise in the operation of printmaking equipment and associated digital software?

Would you like to work on an exciting project developing printmaking in a University setting?

As Printmaking Project Technician, you will be focusing on printmaking in the workshop and your time would be structured to help staff assess and develop printmaking in the School of Fine Art, History of Art and Cultural Studies.

You will be a practising artist, with experience of working in a technical capacity within an arts environment and the operation of print technologies for both assessment and exhibition. You will have excellent communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to explain specialist, technical information to non-specialist audiences.

The post will require regular moderate to heavy lifting. Flexible hours of working will be required to facilitate the School's assessment and exhibition schedules.
