About Us
This is an exciting time within the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry (FMD). We have recently launched our new Digital Education Studio (DES), a centre of excellence where experts of digital education, will work together with teaching teams and students to co-design and advance digital learning and teaching practices.
The DES will be pivotal in establishing a new model for designing digital learning courses of consistent high quality and for a community of practice that will ensure the Faculty's programmes continue to open the doors of opportunity to a Queen Mary University of London education.
For more detailed information on our vision for the DES, including that of our new Dean for Digital Education, Professor Chie Adachi, please visit .
To support the next stages of our ambitious plans, we are looking to appoint an Interactive Web Designer.
About The Role
This pivotal role will provide you with the opportunity to support the growth of digital education in FMD. You will be critical in designing and developing high quality interactive and web-based media assets, which will be incorporated into premium digital learning resources within FMD programmes. This includes interactive media, animations and graphic materials and websites for knowledge dissemination and digital communication.
Although this position will be embedded within the DES multidisciplinary team (currently a team of 12), you will have the opportunity to and we actively encourage you to collaborate with other, similar roles and peers across Faculties within Queen Mary University of London, sharing best practice, content ideas and where applicable, economies of scale delivery.
Current projects that the DES are working on or towards include the design and development of new Postgraduate programmes, spanning from Medical Education to Robotic Surgery. Working across the Faculty, this role offers you the chance to shape the future of Digital Education within the FMD, supporting the impact digital education can have on the workforce of the future.
About You
Within Queen Mary University of London, we actively welcome diversity of ideas, thought and background. For this reason, while an understanding of the Digital Education industry would be beneficial, it is not essential that you come from a Higher Education background. What we want is passion for delivering transformation, creativity in thought and a desire to use your expertise in interactive and web design to help shape our ambitious plans.
You are likely to have worked at a similar level and might see our role as the ideal opportunity to add to your current production portfolio and deliver real change. Alternatively, you might see this as a greater opportunity to work as part of a team, be able to share ideas, and see these concepts come to life.
Whatever your motivations for applying, we will not put limitations on your style. With us, you will be a key part of the team; encouraged to try new things and express yourself.
You will be all about creating visual digital assets that engage learners and have, in our case, educational principles at the core. You will want to have greater ownership, and work collaboratively with academics and learning designers to produce high-quality educational experiences for both students and staff.

We believe in supporting our colleagues. Alongside the competitive salary for this post, we offer a range of work life balance and family friendly, inclusive employment policies, flexible working arrangements, access to a comprehensive range of personal and professional development opportunities and campus facilities including an on-site nursery at the Mile End campus.
