Job Description
Introduce yourself and your work to Pavilion Dance, the dance house by the sea...
Our Visiting Artist scheme is open to any UK artist working in a dance or movement based practice who would benefit from a short studio residency. It is an open-call scheme and there are two awards available – one to an artist based in the southwest region and one to artists based anywhere in the UK.
Dance artists who have a specific live performance project to progress or finish are invited to apply for our summer award. We are particularly interested in artists who have not worked with us before and are interested in sharing their practice with
others. Our venue is fully accessible and there is a cash bursary of £750. You can use this bursary to pay for travel/accommodation as well as your time.
What is involved?
Residencies of 5 full days (27 - 31 July 2026) in one of our beautiful studios which
may be used to finish your project with the added benefit of access to advice and
support from our in-house dance professionals should you wish. This may include:
advice and help with funding applications; career guidance; objective observation
and feedback. Informal chats with the team are encouraged and there is no expected outcome from your residency.
We’re interested in artists finding a meeting point between their practice and our
communities. This could take the form of open classes, workshops, talks or a sharing, all of which we would be happy to discuss and help you with. In return, the Pavilion Dance team is keen to learn from our Visiting Artists about how best to support their practice. We are also keen for Visiting Artists to learn from each other so we will devise the best way to do this together.
...an amazing week at PDSW! I can't get over how lovely it was to be in your gorgeous building with my dancers, all at once working together. Going from sporadic rehearsals here and there to a full blown residency with time and space to create and breathe was incredible.
Criteria
All applicants need to be 18yrs+ with at least two years professional experience,
including the public presentation of at least one choreographic work. Applicants will then be sorted by the following priorities:
- Applicants (from anywhere in the UK) who haven’t worked with us before on
this scheme - Project and/or practice which can engage and connect with people in our
community - Applicants producing live performance work (as opposed to film/digital)
- Project and/or practice which can animate space/s in unusual ways
We will also be assessing applications according to:
- How your work connects with our values: Kind Inclusive Innovative
Empowering - How you propose to connect your work with people beyond the theatre/studio(either in its current form or in the future)
- Where this project sits in relation to your career development
- What you may be able to share with the other Visiting Artist in terms of
experience and practice insight
We are pleased to offer this opportunity to artists at any stage in their artistic
career. Applicants will be assessed using these priorities and criteria by Victor Fung (Artistic Director & Joint CEO), Jeanette Hinton (Performances Producer) and one
independent artist. You may apply more than once per year if you are unsuccessful, but please note our call out in June for residency in December will be for exploratory, practice-based residencies (rather than for specific projects).
How to apply
Please complete our application form outlining what you hope to achieve from your residency, an outline plan for the week and any career highlights to date.
Alternatively, we are happy to accept application by voice note or video (covering
where you’re based, what you want to do and points 5 - 8 above in no more than 5 minutes). You will also need to send us a filmed example of your work. Please send
your files to jobs@pdsw.org.uk with ‘Visiting Artist application 2026 (Creation

Understanding increased gene dosage effects in Down Syndrome embryonic mouse hearts
Key information
Research topics
This is a summer student position supervised by Zuzanna Jablonska in Victor Tybulewicz's lab.
Introduction to the Science
Down syndrome, caused by trisomy of human chromosome 21 (Hsa21), is a gene dosage disorder that results in several pathologies including learning and memory deficits, craniofacial alterations, and congenital heart defects. To study these pathologies, we use the Dp1Tyb mouse model, which contains a duplication of 23Mb of mouse chromosome 16 (Mmu16) which is orthologous to part of Hsa21. This region contains 144 protein coding genes, which are therefore present in three copies instead of the usual two. Dp1Tyb mice develop congenital heart defects similar to the ones seen in people with Down syndrome. These include ventricular and atrio-ventricular septal defects, which are observed in the developing hearts of Dp1Tyb mice.
About the Project
Heart septation depends on key contributions from two major cell types: the second heart field and the cardiac neural crest, which help remodel the early heart tube into a four-chambered heart. For this process to happen correctly, different signalling pathways need to carefully coordinate how these cell types contribute to forming the septum. This project will focus on understanding the role of the neural crest cells during heart septation and how increased dosage of genes in the Dp1Tyb mice affects this process. To study this, we will use a fluorescent reporter system that is activated by Cre recombinase. This will allow us to identify and track neural crest-derived cells in developing mouse hearts.
By joining this project, you will gain hands-on experience with a range of developmental biology techniques, including:
- Embryo dissection - collecting embryonic hearts at key developmental stages.
- Immunofluorescence and confocal imaging - labelling specific cell types and capturing high-resolution images.
- Image analysis - using software tools to quantify how neural crest-derived cells contribute to septation.
Candidate background
The post holder should embody and demonstrate the Crick ethos and ways of working: bold, open and collegial. The candidate must be registered at a UK Higher Education Institution, studying in the UK and must have completed a minimum of two years’ undergraduate study in a relevant discipline, and on track to receive a final degree grade of 2:1 or 1. In addition, they should be able demonstrate the following experience and key competencies:
- This project is ideal for students curious about developmental biology, genetics, microscopy, or congenital heart defects. You will get to work closely with a research team, learn techniques widely used in biomedical research, and contribute to understanding how the heart forms.
- Good knowledge in relevant scientific area(s)
- Good written and spoken communication skills
- Ability to work independently and also capable of interacting within a group

Mandarin Language Assistant
- Job Summary
-
Brighton College is seeking to appoint a Mandarin Language Assistant to start in August 2026.
The Department
Brighton College is a sector leader when it comes to the teaching of Mandarin. It has been compulsory subject from 2006 for all pupils in Year 7 and 8 and the department consists of three members of staff. There are currently 40 non-native pupils taking the subject at GCSE, with a strong proportion of pupils choosing to continue the subject into Sixth Form. There are also a large number of native or heritage Chinese pupils learning the subject off timetable.
At present we follow the AQA syllabus for GCSE and the Edexcel Chinese A-level course, as well as HSK4 in the Sixth Form. The results in recent years have been excellent, achieving 100% 9-7 at GCSE with over 80% achieving 9-8, and 100% A*-B at A-level. The department also has a comprehensive Oxbridge programme, with much recent success in this area.
We run a challenge week encouraging all pupils and staff to have more contact with Chinese culture. Every year we have pupils enter Mandarin speaking and translation competitions. We encourage all our pupils to make Chinese a real part of their everyday lives and use their language as often as possible.
Role SpecificationThe successful candidate will be expected to support the teaching of Mandarin across the curriculum, from Year 7 to A-level. The candidate will primarily assist with heritage or native pupils' learning from Year 7 to Year 10, both one-to-one and in small groups, and with our provision for speaking practice for native speakers of Chinese (both Mandarin and Cantonese), as well as conducting speaking sessions, both one-to-one and in small groups for our GCSE and A-level groups. There may be opportunities to develop classroom teaching for those with an interest in this area. Part of the role also involves planning and organising cultural enrichment activities for different Chinese festivals, and departmental school trips and outings for pupils.
Additionally, all teaching assistants at Brighton College are expected to contribute to the school’s pastoral system, generally as a tutor in one of our 16 houses (of which six are boarding houses and ten are day).
There is also an expectation that all teaching assistants will contribute to the cocurricular life of the school, through the extensive Games programme, and/or through the leadership of one of over 100 school societies.
Candidates are encouraged to point to interests and enthusiasms as part of their application. All staff have the opportunity to contribute to our Masterclass programme; this is a series of weekly lessons designed to celebrate the enjoyment of learning, focusing on an area of personal academic or cultural interest. These have included subjects such as Magical Realism, Cuisine and Culture and Great Debates in History.
Person SpecificationThe academic success of Brighton is due to excellent, innovative and well-planned teaching. We are looking for individuals who foster a passion for learning and who can demonstrate an ability, and genuine desire, to develop pupils to their fullest potential.
In this role, language skills in Mandarin will obviously be of paramount importance,with native fluency required. The ability to communicate with and inspire teenagers in both English and the target language is also crucial.
Knowledge and understanding of GCSE A-level requirements would be advantageous but is far from necessary, although the ability to learn quickly is. Those applying for the wider assistant teacher role will also need to demonstrate willingness to support the ambition and values of the school and to be involved in a breadth of College life.
Hours of WorkMonday to Friday, 8:15am to 4:45pm with a 30-minute unpaid lunch break (40 hours per week) during term-time (35 weeks). Additional Saturdays are to be worked for Open Mornings, admissions and weekend duty, as well as attending school trips (two of which fall outside of term time).
Remuneration and HolidaysThe salary for this role will be £24,095 per annum. Holiday entitlement is included in the salary for this role. All holiday is to be taken outside of the working weeks.
