AVA is committed to nurturing creative and professional talent of international renown and strives to provide the very best in visual arts education, combining studio-based research, critical and historical studies and sustainable service for the cultural and creative sectors as well as for the community at large.

We are looking for an Associate Professor/Assistant Professor/Lecturer to extend teaching, research and practice in product/object or industrial design with an emphasis on sustainable design practices, and who may also cover cross-disciplinary design approaches and prototyping.

Applicants without a doctoral degree will be considered based on equivalent academic/professional background. Records of successful grant applications or project funding will be preferable.
