The Department of Humanities is a community of researchers, teachers, students, and support staff working together on some of the most interesting and exciting issues in contemporary culture. Journalism, Media and Communication (JMC) is an integral part of the Department and wider University with a popular joint-honours undergraduate degree, three Masters programmes (in Media & Communications, Digital Journalism and Gender Studies) and a growing PhD community. Our world-leading research is concentrated around key themes in gender & media; science, health & environment; politics, publics & activism; and violence & conflict.
We seek to appoint an experienced Lecturer to join our JMC subject team, on a full-time open-ended contract. Candidates will have a good honours degree and PhD (or equivalent) in an appropriate discipline. They will demonstrate a body of published research in high quality publications and be able to identify points of connection with our existing research themes. We are particularly keen to attract applicants with expertise in media and communications scholarship outside of Europe. Expertise in quantitative methods in media and communications would be an advantage but is not essential.
Candidates will demonstrate an ability to secure research/knowledge exchange funding. A track record in securing funding would be advantageous. The candidate must be able to lead curriculum development at both UG and PGT levels and teach diverse student groups in classroom settings. The candidate should demonstrate ability to attract and supervise PGR students. The candidate should also demonstrate leadership skills and potential to coordinate a PGT degree course.
Formal interviews for this post will likely be held 28 September 2023.
