> Qantm College Melbourne is seeking a full time Lecturer in Game Design

> within our Bachelor of Interactive Entertainment degree at our Melbourne

> 

> 

> You will need to be a committed design educator, with a practical

> professional foundation in the technical realities of game design and

> development. Your primary responsibilities will include:

> 

>   - The development and continual improvement of internationally

>   benchmarked, academically well-grounded curricula in game design and

>   development

>   - The delivery and continual improvement of best-in-class learning

>   experience, through a range of methods, such as lectures, tutorials,

>   consultation and blended learning

>   - Effective and timely assessment and moderation of student outcomes,

>   together with a commitment to maintaining accurate and effective student

>   - A focus on student-centred teaching and learning that considers the

>   student as a whole person

>   - The development of a collegiate workplace, and a strong contribution

>   to the intellectual and professional vibrancy of our campus as a community

>   of practice

> 

>> From a technical perspective, the role will also involve working with our

> students to develop working game projects in either Unity or UDK. Our game

> design students are required to deliver to a range of platforms, including

> PC, browsers, iOS and Android. Applicants should therefore be conversant

> with practical development in at least one of these engines and have a

> 

> As a professional college, we hire both academic and industry staff.

> Academic applicants should have a strong grasp of recent literature in the

> field, hold a +1 related qualification (e.g. M.Des or Ph.D) or be

> significantly in progress towards completion. Applicants who instead have

> an extensive industry background in game development are also encouraged to

> apply - you should have at least 3 years professional experience and a

> relevant degree qualification, and preferably some experience of Agile

> development methods.

> 

> 

> Ongoing classroom practice mentoring will be provided for the successful

> applicant, in a supportive environment dedicated to the academic practice

> of teaching, so applicants who wish to begin developing their academic

> teaching and learning practice are particularly encouraged to apply.

> Candidates wishing to job share the role on a fractional basis are also

> encouraged to apply.
