Dear all,

King’s Digital Lab (Faculty of Arts and Humanities, King’s College London, UK)
is recruiting for a new senior designer. Having a robust UI/UX design expertise
is essential. Expertise or at least interest in working with digital humanities,
digital creativity and digital cultural heritage research projects are also
important.

Please consider applying if you are interested or help us disseminating the job

Deadline: 12 March 2026

The King’s Digital Lab (KDL) is seeking to appoint a Senior Research Software
UI/UX Designer.
KDL is a Research Software Engineering (RSE) team embedded within the Faculty of
Arts and Humanities at King’s College London. We design and implement systems,
infrastructure, tools, and processes needed to produce a heterogeneous range of
high quality digital scholarly outputs. As an RSE laboratory, KDL is deeply
committed to co-research and is constantly evolving as new tools and methods
appear. We have an open, collaborative culture, both within the Lab and with our
research partners.

We integrate design throughout our projects, from initial requirements
assessments and at each stage of development. We aim for a design-first
approach, in support of our belief that digital tools and methods should be both
instinctively usable and elegant.

As a Senior Research Software UI/UX Designer, you will play a pivotal role in
shaping the design vision and practice within KDL. This is a leadership position
where you will guide design workflows, mentor junior colleagues, and collaborate
across disciplines to deliver innovative, accessible, and impactful digital
research projects. Your work will directly influence how research is experienced
and communicated, ensuring that design excellence contributes to both academic
advancement and public engagement.

This a full-time role, offered on an indefinite contract.
