We are delighted to be seeking to recruit several new colleagues to join the flourishing Department of Cultural, Media and Visual Studies in the School of Cultures, Languages and Area Studies at the University of Nottingham. These new colleagues will join a thoroughly interdisciplinary community of scholars with global perspectives and approaches and contribute to a vibrant and collegial research-led learning environment. Our courses position our world-leading research at the centre of the learning experience and prepare our students to be active and adaptive participants in the increasingly complex and technologized cultural, creative and media environments of the future.
One of the appointments we are seeking is an Assistant Professor to make a significant impact within the research and teaching area of Film and Screen Studies.
Our School thrives through the different ideas and experiences of colleagues, who come from a mix of cultures and backgrounds. We strive to foster a welcoming, inspiring and supportive workplace. We are seeking applications from candidates whose background, experience and identity broadens and enhances the diversity of our existing team and would especially welcome applications from members of groups who are currently underrepresented in the School, particularly Black, Asian and minority ethnic candidates. We understand that having a mix of perspectives, lived experiences and approaches to teaching and research enhances our day-to-day work and enriches our School community.
The successful candidate will lead and deliver individual and collaborative teaching and research in screen/media industries, generate income by developing and winning support for innovative research proposals and funding bids, and build impactful partnerships and engagement with external organisations and publics. Teaching and research expertise and/or experience in at least one of the following areas is required:
- Screen production and practices
- The Global South
- Decolonizing curricula and pedagogic practices
- Sustainability
- Diversity
- Innovations wrought through digital transformation
A range of administrative duties to support the operation of the School will also be undertaken including acting as a personal tutor.
Applicants must have a PhD (or equivalent) in a relevant subject area and previous experience of teaching at HE level. Applicants should ideally have a track record of high-quality published research.
This is a full-time (36.25 hours), permanent position. Job-share arrangements may be considered.
Interviews will be held on 28 July 2023.
Candidates should attach a CV, publication list, and a covering letter stating why they are suitable for the role with their application.
