Instructor Ceramic/ plastic, Material Station

For the ceramic workshop we are looking for an enthusiastic colleague who has extensive experience with ceramics and is interested in working with plastics. As an instructor you are not only involved in the individual supervision of students, but you also give instruction lessons about mostly ceramics and less in working with plastics in the broadest sense of the word.You also make an active contribution to the development of the ceramic workshop. You think along about how, for example, an important theme such as sustainability or the application of new but also forgotten technologies can be given a place in the workshop.We are looking for someone who can think beyond the limits of current techniques and who dares to experiment together with students. Our staff is diverse, not just in terms of practice profiles but also in terms of culture, gender, and ethnicity.

You are able to:

• Guide and support students with individual issues in the field of working with ceramics and plastics.
• Instructing classes in mostly ceramics and partly plastics. These lessons are given mostly in English.
• Develop instructions.
• Deal with pressure and stress.
• Manage a ceramic/ plastic workshop, where you are responsible for both maintenance and initial repairs.
• Support teachers in guiding the students.
• Together with your colleagues, you help to develop blended and hybrid forms of education, so it becomes possible for students to find support and get acquainted with the workshop before or after they have been introduced to the physical space of the workshop.
• Willing to also work/ support in other workshops

You are open to learn and professionalize through didactic training, skill related professionalization and participation in working groups and national/international meetings/webinars. You actively participate in a team of colleagues with whom you work within the station to create an inspiring work and learning environment for students. You are, with your colleagues, responsible for the management, maintenance, and development of the ceramic plastic- workshop and the open spaces of the Material Station. You are also responsible for supervision, control and management of the materials and machines present. You are also willing to assist within the Material Station where necessary.
