University West of England
About us
The Department of Arts and Cultural Industries is based on UWE Bristol's Frenchay Campus. We offer an exciting range of courses in Creative and Professional Writing, English, English Language and Linguistics, Film Studies, History and Heritage, and Media Culture and Creative Design.
Our courses are designed to inspire our students and to prepare them for their future wide-ranging careers. Taught by national and world-leading experts in their fields, our courses push the boundaries of subject knowledge through our research-informed pedagogy, while giving students the opportunity to apply their subject knowledge in real-world experiences and assessment.
High-quality, impactful, and REF-leading research underpins our course content, and we work alongside private, public and third sector partners to enhance every aspect of our teaching and research. Our graduates are confident and versatile, fully equipped to work in an impressive range of careers.
Alongside teaching, all staff are research active and engage in professional research activities. Our Research Groups and Centres (including the Digital Cultures Research Centre, the Regional History Centre, and the Bristol Centre for Linguistics), are focal points and facilitators of research co-ordination and investment.
About you
We are seeking an academic with an established profile in the field of media production to join our thriving, innovative course. Applicants should hold a PhD within the broad field of media production or equivalent professional experience, and be able to relate the key aspects of current media production in contemporary culture to teaching contexts. Successful candidates will undertake teaching, assessment and delivery within our BA (Hons) Media and Cultural Production and BA (Hons) Media Culture and Communications programmes. Our programmes help students develop expertise in video, photography and online media informed by existing theoretical debates within media and cultural studies. We are looking for applicants to develop and teach production skills around all these areas, with particular focus on critically engaged practice.
This is a 12 month fixed-term 0.7 appointment.
Further information
In addition to progressive pay rates, UWE Bristol offers a wide range of staff benefits including a generous holiday allowance of 25 Days pro rata, up to 12.5 bank holiday/closure days per year in addition, flexible working, excellent defined benefit pension schemes and the option to participate in the cycle to work scheme.
This post is based at our lively Frenchay campus where we have invested in the latest facilities and resources to give our students access to everything they need to succeed - with £300m having been spent recently on new state-of-the-art learning spaces and accommodation to enhance our offer even further. Frenchay campus is within close proximity to excellent motorway links and within walking distance of two train stations, making UWE Frenchay Campus the ideal place to work for those wishing to commute to Bristol.
If you would like an informal discussion, please contact Rehan Hyder on 0117 328 4575 or email: rehan.hyder@uwe.ac.uk .
UWE is committed to supporting and promoting equality and diversity to create an inclusive working environment.
