Best Job Ever? The University Of Cambridge Is Hiring A 'Lego Professor'

Known for its high standard of education, the University of Cambridge in the U.K. is hiring a Lego professor to add to its academic roster of teachers.

The incoming applicant will head a new research center that focuses on children’s relationships with play in education, development and learning. They will also investigate how unrestrictive play can help improve a child’s experience of education.

This unusually titled position was created by the university after receiving $6.2 million in donations from the Lego Foundation, which aims "to make children's lives better – and communities stronger – by making sure the fundamental value of play is understood, embraced and acted upon." The Lego Foundation owns 25% of the Danish toy company Lego.
