The University of Southampton is world top 100 QS ranked and a member of the UK Russell Group. Its Winchester School of Art is one of the UK’s leading art and design schools, with a reputation for excellence and innovation. We have an international presence too. Since our collaboration with Dalian Polytechnic University began 8 years ago, we’ve inspired and developed some of China’s most talented fashion and graphic design students. 

Bring your talent for teaching and knowledge of branding and the creative industries to our dynamic learning environment and you’ll enjoy creating your own opportunities. As a bold, progressive University, we’re keen to push the boundaries of what we’re teaching our students - and what we’re learning alongside them. We actively encourage and support our academic staff to pursue a variety of activities within their field of interest. So, you’ll be able to keep growing your knowledge, bring fresh inspiration and share new ideas for shaping our curriculum.

Developing your own teaching materials, you’ll contribute new approaches, set and mark coursework and take on some administrative duties. Coaching students through tutorials, practical sessions, seminars and lectures, your knowledge and enthusiasm will inspire them to achieve remarkable things - and we’ll support you to do the same.

You’ll be based in Dalian which, in the northeast of China, is one of the country’s most modern, eco-friendly cities. Just a one-hour flight from Beijing, Dalian has connections to several major international destinations and a vibrant multicultural community. 

To apply, you’ll need postgraduate or equivalent professional qualifications, and experience in branding, visual communication or a relevant design subject. You’ll also need experience of higher education teaching at undergraduate level, with an in-depth knowledge of design education and practice. Ideally - but not essentially - you’ll have some experience of working at international level.

This is for a fixed-term post, with a generous remuneration package, including UK pension, health insurance, CPD and annual air-flights.

Whilst in China you will be provided with free on-campus accommodation, travel insurance cover, a basic medical insurance cover, and two return flights home per academic year (following a Chinese academic year) during your employment. We will assist you in applying for your work visa applications where applicable.
