Hasta La Motion!

The Digital Animation Programme of the University of Hertfordshire is looking for a new fulltime Senior Lecturer in Animation. If you are interested in teaching at one of the best animation courses in the UK we would like to hear from you.
We are looking for someone with several years of experience in VFX (film or commercials) preferably, but we will consider individuals from Games or other 3D animation areas. We would like to see knowledge of Maya, 3DSMax as a bonus, experience with compositing (Nuke, Fusion, After Effects), some MEL scripting would also be advantageous. You don’t need to be a character animator, but you should show a generalist knowledge of all (non character animation) aspects of VFX production. If you’ve ever trained staff to use software, that’s a useful skill to us.

This is a great opportunity for someone who fancies a career change and who enjoys working with students and helping them develop their skills while working on a course whose students have won many awards for their work.
