Call: Postdoc Lecturer, MA Transversal Design, HGK FHNW Basel


It's a real pleasure to share this open call for a Postdoc Lecturer at HGK Academy of Art & Design Basel, FHNW University of Applied Sciences & Arts Northwestern Switzerland. Deadline for applications 4 Aug: https://m.refline.ch/655298/4260/pub/1/index.html 🕯️

This is an exciting and well-renumerated role for an enthusiastic self-starter who thrives in diverse, transdisciplinary settings, and has a passion for designing-otherwise across programme, community and curriculum in collaboration with creative and critical practitioners. You will be joining an eclectic and dedicated team who are building the new MA Transversal Design [1] — a research-oriented master’s programme which explores social, ecological, political, and creative processes in their complex interdependencies. We work in collaboration with Critical Media Lab [2], Hyperwerk [3] and other friends in the beautiful river city of Basel to develop critical practices for worlds in transition – from alternative media, speculative models and practices of care, to tools for solidarity and radical proposals for innovation.

Guided by an expert team and internationally recognized visiting lecturers and researchers, our students are invited to design, document, rehearse, publish, hack, play, build, research, organize, and write. They learn why, how, and for whom in theory and practice, to co-organise the futures-we-need. This invites new ways of thinking about the role of design in society – by moving beyond objects, and into processes, modes of relating, questions of environmental-social justice, technology, decoloniality, and the critical infrastructures on which we collectively depend.

Together, let’s design worlds otherwise.

You are welcome to have a root around our Instagram and other digital trails, and get in touch if you have any questions. We look forward to meeting you in Basel 🐚
