Role
We are looking for a PGR student who is an illustrator or graphic artist to support with the creation of a set of infographics illustrating the outcome of our Doctoral Values Project.
As part of the Doctoral Values Project the Doctoral College facilitated a number of in person and online workshops with PGR student across the University to draw out a set of PGR values which mattered to current Warwick PGRs. The next phase of the project will be to further define these values through our Festival of Postgraduate Research. Following on from this we would like a PGR from the community to visually illustrate the values though a series of graphics. This is where the role of the PGR graphic artist comes in.
The final set of illustrations will be used in marketing and promotional materials for the Doctoral College. This includes but in not limited to our website, social media and other digital channels. They will need to be provided in a digital format.
Final project should be completed by the beginning of July.

Applications without a sample will not be considered. The application process will also include a short interview to be arranged in advance with the candidate.
