The post is part of an ambitious and successful project of interaction
and exchange of research and teaching across the Department of Culture,
Media and Creative Industries and the Department of Digital Humanities.
CMCI and DH are now seeking to recruit a Senior Lecturer to commence
work for no later than September 2015. The post will play a key role in
leading work across the departments, in particular to resource new and
developing research strengths evident from our joint 2014 REF submission
and to build on the work of the current three joint appointments. The
post-holder will contribute to the continuing success of the MA Digital
Culture and Society, and will join the team teaching on and further
developing the BA Digital Cultures.
The successful candidate will undertake research, teaching and
administration as directed by the Head of Department for Culture, Media
and Creative Industries, the Head of Digital Humanities and the Dean of
Faculty for Arts and Humanities. They will be an internationally
excellent academic in the area of digital cultures and will have strong
record of publications with the potential for impact and research income
generation. They will have a clear plan for building research in digital
cultures for the future and the next REF. They will be expected to
foster existing and develop new connections with practitioners in the
digital industries (in the UK and ideally overseas) and will be open to
developing links with colleagues in other departments, and at other
universities internationally. They will be expected to enhance the
capacity of the Department to develop successful bids for research grant
applications, and obtain funding from third sector source They will be
required to take on administrative and leadership roles in either
Department (although not at the same time) including in the future where
required fixed term roles such as Head of Department, Research Director,
Department Education Lead, and PhD Director, as well as playing an
active role at School level on key committees and in key leadership
roles. They will be involved in departmental level strategic planning in
areas such as the balance of student recruitment, staff appointments and
student and other performance matters. They will be expected to develop
internal networks e.g. chairing and participating in institutional
committees; as well as external networks that foster collaboration e.g.
with external examiners and assessors, other educational bodies,
employers and professional bodies. They will be proficient in making
presentations or exhibitions at national or international conferences or
other similar events in the cultural and creative industries. They will
be able to contribute to the management of teaching and research
quality, audit and other external assessments.
